The media is attempting to discredit everything by claiming it was organized by Norquist or Beck or someone.

You were on vocally announcing on whose back the country is carried on.

They did me with my sign, and included one sentence of my interview, about the gov’t spending my great-granchildren’s money, who aren;t even born yet.

The TV report had a lot of good crowd shots.

Maybe they will repeat at ten or eleven tonight.

I’m still wariming up from the Tea Party.

Small mtn town Boone with Tea Party 4-6pm, but we arrived early and left at 4:15pm About 150 there when we left. Cold and damp, but did not notice once we lined the road on sidewalk with our signs: cars honked.

One car with college students yelled "Obama". Big granite truck did a back fire at us, but my husband yelled "Which end did that come out of" It was funny.

Spirits high with love of country and fellow man. All view points represented, but all love Constitution and want our country back. No speakers before we left.

As Samuel Adams said: "It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." Samuel Adams

God Bless America and Long Live our Constitution

Susy Benjamin is looking old all of a sudden. She probably even actually needs that cane.

Just returned from the Tea Party in Carson City, Nevada...it was great! Probably around 2500 patriots on a cold windy day.

It turned into a dump Harry Reid rally with many loud chant sessions of, “DUMP REID”. Lots of very good signs and posters...lots of serious people laughing and having a good time.

US Congressman Dean Heller was there and talked to the crowd. Also, the legislature building is right on the main drag through town, so there was non-stop horn honking, especially when the 18-wheelers came by. It was pretty cool and much noisier than I expected...pretty good “protest” for my first one!! (at 65-years).

Reporting from little old Elko Nevada. This was not heavily promoted and still about 100 of us braved the snowstorm that has dumped several inches so far. Lots of honk support and it was well worth it. We may be few but our commitment is great.

We gathered in the cold to the strains of Rocky Top to have a Tea Party in Kingsport, a conservative bastion in East Tennessee

The police would not estimate the size of the crowd but I was stunned. I took 100 leaflets inviting folks to join FRee Republic and gave them all out. I personally spoke with 175 or so folks giving the leaflet with the FR logo and invite to join us. I barely scratched the surface.

It was an antimated crowd loudly cheerin and waving signs and flags. I was suprised at the number of Gadsen Flags. They were all over, big flags, small signs, t shirts and jackets

The Freeper Nellie Mae

The plaintive question " How much do I owe?"

"Freep Line"

Home made sign and shirt.... from Unicoi County

Some Over Mountain Men left Kingsport and defeated the British at Kings Mountain

More Gadsden flags than the red white and blue....

The pickup is the essence of the Rockytop tea party

“But I have no proof of any of this but the speaker at the event DID say there were ACORN members in attendance. I believe that sweet little old lady was one.”

You should have just told her that Jesus inspired you to make your sign. :)
