Protesters gather at Richmond offices of Webb, Warner
ALEXA WELCH EDLUND/TIMES-DISPATCH
About 200 protesters marched in front of the downtown Richmond offices of Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va.
Protesting against President Barack Obama’s health-care and cap-and-trade proposals, several hundred Virginians gathered today outside the Richmond area offices of Sens. Jim Webb, D-Virginia, and Mark R. Warner, D-Virginia.
Pickets organized by the Richmond Tea Party and Americans for Prosperity chanted slogans and waved signs to urge the two senators to vote against the proposals.
Neither senator was present.
“Webb vote no, or you will go!“ the crowd outside Webb’s downtown Richmond office chanted.

God bless those who attended. I wish I could have been there as well. I was busy hustling work for my remaining 8 employees.
Socialize health care will most likely put an end to their employment and my company.
“Several hundered”? I guess budget cut backs are forcing the RTD to base reporting of this non-event on the wack job tea party press release these people put out.
True attendance—-several.
Oh, and Eric Cantor?
Before you send your mouth breathing lackeys to the doors of real civil servants, how about coming up with an ALTERNATIVE to all the things you keep saying no to?
