I plan to be at the DC rally. I will have an IPhone to take and send pictures. I am looking for a Freeper who can posted the pictures here. Would require a flickr or some such account. I could do it through my Flickr but it would take too long on the IPhone. Anyone interested? If so, freepmail me an email address I should send the photos to.
Thanks
John Gibson is going to be in Tulsa, OK
Thanks for the update!
I soooo have to toot my own horn here... I tossed out the idea of National Tea Parties back in JUNE 2003 on Free Republic!!
Not that it was an original idea or anything, I just never understood why everyone else had a higher tolerance level for taxes than I did. Apparently we had no idea just how bad it would get in the future. I’m just so glad it is finally happening!!
Don’t bother reading these, but these were my posts from 2003 where I mentioned Tea Parties:

Is DeMint going to be at the one in Simpsonville? Or is there one that is actually in the city of Greenville that I haven’t found out about yet?

Sorry, just caught this post. I’m not sure, I’ve noticed that Greenville isn’t listed on the Tax Day website, but I’ve seen two or three news articles mentioning Greenville as one of DeMint’s stops.

HUGE tea party crowd in Chicago!!!!
Ping for viewing after work...
I certatinly agree with you there.However, the one point I've tried to make to people is that when you see Republican leaders embracing the Tea Parties, celebrate the fact, don't denounce it.
It's important to get the Republican Party back to standing for lower taxes, less spending and a smaller federal government. There's ALOT of work to be done on this front, I concede, but it's always good to have people moving TOWARDS you than away from you.
My concern was them attempting to co-opt the tea party events, and of course the leftist media is constantly spouting the propaganda that this was started by the GOP and Fox News.
An interesting tidbit from Michelle Malkin about the Sacramento Tea Party yesterday:
California Tea Party to California GOP: Smackdown
Something hugely significant just happened here at the Sacramento Tea Party. Organizer Mark Meckler singled out GOP opportunists who wouldn’t give him the time of day weeks ago — and then wanted to hitch their wagons to the Tea Party bandwagon at the last minute.
Meckler said he heard that California GOP chair Ron Nehring was in the audience. Meckler invited him to say hi to the crowd — and then ripped him for waffling on the massive tax hike ballot measures (particularly Prop1A - $16 billion tax hikes).
Massive boos from the crowd of thousands here against the Calif. GOP establishment.
Will this make the MSM coverage? It doesn’t fit the narrative. But it’s yet another demonstration that this movement is not partisan and equal opportunity when it comes to holding politicians’ feet to the fire for fiscal irresponsibility and fecklessness.
The Sacto teaparty was a resounding sucess, thanks to you and the Our Country PAC for being a big part of that!
