Pictures of our Tea Party in Davenport, Iowa. Hard count of 102 at one point. Many came and left. 30 degrees with northwind at 12 kts. Hundreds honked support. One nitwit shouted obscenities.

GREAT FUN, GREAT CROWD. Many asked "What is next".

ONE State legislator showed up.

Energy of people who had never before held a sign or demonstrated is growing.

... and maybe, just maybe, a national new station will cover it. Nah, it's against the Messiah, so it won't happen. If they did this during Bush's term it'd be all over the news 24/7. Oh wait, didn't they do that at first with Cindy Sheenan's protests? They even took pix at angles so it'd look like thousands were there instead of about 30-40 people.

I surely wish I had known about it. I would have been there. Great pictures.

And by the way, what is next? I sure would like to be kept up to date. I don’t read the local liberal rag or watch any of the local news station, so if you could ping me to any upcoming events, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Couple of friends and I thought we’d organize the folks that live here in the hollow.....Come on over have a cup af tea, a couple of signs on post it notes,...... with a tea cup as a prize for the best one.

Still gets the message out and lets folks know they’re not alone.

And one nitwit liberal female in a new car was flipping us the bird, while talking on her cell phone and while driving - talking about amazing ability to multitask or just the biggest dim lightbulb in the world. Good job to everyone who participated. Hoorah.

"I wish I knew how to arrange one of these in my area "

Google "Michelle Malkin" , find her blog, and get started. This gained momentum rapidly after breaking our own inertia. Do not wait for SOMEONE ELSE to start things.
