Rep. Steve King (R-IA) took to the House floor last night to promote Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) march on Capitol Hill tomorrow (And inside the hallways, as well!) against the Democrats’ health care proposals. And King compared the Americans For Prosperity buses that will be bringing people to the protest to none other than that famous patriot of the American Revolution, Paul Revere.

“There are buses that are coming in from state after state after state, converging on this city,” said King. “People are dropping what’s important. It’s as if Paul Revere had ridden across America and said, ‘here’s the call, here’s the call of your country.'”
