If you want to have some insight into the right-wing gathering in Washington today, Matt Kibbe, president of the FreedomWorks Foundation, writes into NRO with his march manifesto of sorts:

Tens of thousands of Americans are gathering in Washington, D.C. this morning for the March on Washington, the logical culmination of thousands of “tea party” rallies and town hall protests that have occurred across the nation since February. True to their essentially libertarian spirit, there has been no central organizer of these events. For today’s gathering, no speaker or attendee has been paid to show up, no travel or hotel expense reimbursed. Today’s event will be the largest gathering of fiscal conservatives in our nation’s capitol ever, I believe.
That so many people have chosen to come directly to the seat of the federal government – putting their lives on hold and adding to the strain on their family budgets – is remarkable enough. What is extraordinary is their unscripted, uncoached and un-pre-prepared unity of purpose. I hear it over and over again in conversations, emails and blogs: “I have never done anything like this before,” they invariably say. “But I have to do something; our government is out of control!” While much of this mobilized anger has its roots in the wasteful spending, earmarks and bailouts of the previous administration, this grassroots revolution reached full bloom with the fiscally insane policies of President Barack Obama and his congressional allies.
Among virtually everyone’s top five list of concerns: unprecedented deficit spending, now totaling some $9 trillion over the next 10 years; bailouts of the irresponsible, from individuals who bet everything on a home they could not afford, to over-leveraged investment banks and poorly managed car companies; and, a massive new energy tax to be redistributed through a complex political scheme coined “cap and trade.” Surely, number one on everyone’s list is ObamaCare. The president’s proposal is broadly viewed as an overwrought, multi-trillion dollar hostile government takeover of health care, emblematic of everything that is wrong with the federal government today. The president’s initial insistence that this massive bill be passed in a full-on legislative panic before the August recess is, I believe, one of the main reasons for the unprecedented and loud response witnessed at the August town halls.
Like true students of Saul Alinsky, the Obama White House and its allies have sought to employ the so-called Thirteenth Rule: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.” These radical rules might work well against some hapless corporate bureaucrat obsessed with bad press. But when targeted at a broad swath of the voting public, they have translated into a series of nasty insults more numerous and contradictory than the various “clarifying speeches” the president has given in attempts to resuscitate his failing health care agenda. Waving a square of plastic grass in his clenched fist, Senate leader Harry Reid called every town hall attendee opposed to the Democrats’ agenda Astroturf, “taking their cues from talk show hosts, Internet rumor mongers, and insurance rackets.” Nancy Pelosi seemingly hurled a new slur daily, most notably “un-American.” MyBarackObama.com recently referred to “our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process.” The president himself, departing from a prepared speech to the AFL-CIO on Monday, joined the pile-on. “You’ve heard all the lies,” he said, scolding. If it is inappropriate to yell “you lie” in a crowded House chamber, it seems even less appropriate to call your voting constituents names. Not too bright, at very least.
With thousands of citizens marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to the West lawn of the Capitol, hostile reporters will surely try to find someone that fits the Democrats’ unflattering caricature. Again and again they have found that same LaRouche guy at town halls waving a poster of Barack Obama adorned with Hitler’s moustache. The press agent for Miley Cyrus would just kill for exposure like his. But reality can be a stubborn thing, even in politics. The core concerns of this important grassroots constituency fall smack in the center of where the American electorate stands today: Government should not spend so much money it does not have, and it should stay out of things it has no history of success doing. In many ways, this potential voting block resembles the nine million new voters that went to the polls in 1994, disgusted with another Byzantine attempt to put government in charge of your health care.
What comes next? Expect to see this network of activists and organizations hold elected officials accountable for their votes on spending, healthcare and taxes in November of 2010. Social networking tools online, so effectively used by Obama as an insurgent presidential candidate, are now in the hands of the new insurgency. They are organizing by community and have naturally built networks of like-minded individuals in every battleground state and congressional district. Republicans might earn the affections of these potential voters by offering a principled and united voice against the tax and spend polices of the current majority, but this is not, fundamentally, about political parties. It is about good policy and restoring fiscal sanity to a political class run amuck. My advice to politicians of all stripes: take these people seriously.
