Asserts the Tea Party activist and conservative in Seattle: "Today, Americans will take a stand in peaceful demonstrations around the country to say that we will not stand for an infringement on not just our Second Amendment guaranteed right to bear arms and we will not sit idly by while our other rights are under attack either. For too long, Americans were complacent. I know I was."
More commentary from Ms. Burke: "Today is the Day of Resistance! In over 120 cities across this great
land, Americans will gather to take a stand for freedom and for the
Constitution. They have realized that if we can’t rely on those that
swear to uphold and protect the Constitution to do so, then we ourselves
must answer the call. We must demonstrate that we understand our rights
and we will not give them up. We must demonstrate that we will not
remain silent even when the media and the President distort and shame
our law-abiding actions to make others believe that we are wrong."
