Good crowd indeed! Woo Hoo!
Any update on 2:45 PM Mt. Vernon Whistle Stop?
GODSPEED!!
I so hate having to miss the rally but my mom is pretty sick this morning from chemo(her last one was wednesday..we hope..she will have a Petscan soon to see where we are).
I am with you guys in spirit though and sending many prayers your way for safe travel and big big crowds at every stop!
GOD BLESS THE TEA PARTY PATRIOTS!!
I just did a drive by at the Dallas Tea Party stop. It’s going on right now and it has quite a turn out. I’m not very good at estimating a crowd size but there were easily 400 to 600 people there. Probably even more. We were seeing people walking from other parking areas a mile or so away. The lot was full.
Unfortunately, we had to get back to work, so we just drove by to show our support.
WooHoo way to go DFW!
Just caught a glimpse on channel 8..We get their noon news.
Great gathering.
Channel 8 (WFAA) in Dallas did a report at noon with an aerial view of the Tea Party. They never did show a wide view of the rally but they said there were a few thousand people at the tea party. Brad Watson did the report. He gave a rundown on the route and timetable and outlined tea party concerns as too much national debt and not agreeing with the health insurance reform plan. Brad Watson is not unbiased and seemed to me to have grudgingly taken this reporting assignment.
Thanks for the video link. Looks like a huge enthusiastic crowd.
Hope our Father in Freepdom’s Freepmobile is resurrected soon.
Sorry to be missing today’s tea parties. We’re still stuck in Dallas. The garage assured me they could have it done by tomorrow afternoon but I pressed them and they’re going to try to get it done by tonight. If we get the Freepmobile out of hock by 6:00 pm or so, we should be able to catch the Tea Party Express tonight in Memphis. If we don’t get it until tomorrow, we’re going to have a heck of a time catching up.
I was there. That was a decent local news report.
What’s wrong with the freepmobile?
WFAA (ABC affiliate) reported “huge crowd”, DPD said 2000 people, many scenes from Ch8 helicopter.
Fuel system “gunked up.” Fuel pump, injectors, plugs, filters, etc.
I am looking for poster ideas too, sorry I am no help. But, silly question, how do I seek out other FR’s without looking like a creep???? I may just put a label on that simply says “FR”
Hey, Jim.
Are they going to take care of it tonight? Hope you don’t miss the remainder of the Tea Parties.
I think you will be able to find other Freepers.
Are you coming to the Convention? Are you staying at the Sheraton? If not, you may be able to meet FReepers at one of the metro stops.
Me too! Hope the problems are fixed ASAP and Jim and Gary can get back on the road. Main thing is that they stay safe on the road! See you in DC!
The garage worked overtime to complete the job and delivered the Freepmobile to the hotel about a little while ago. We’re now loaded up and getting ready to hit the road. Woo hoo!! We’re on the red-eye express to Memphis!
Here’s a photostory link I made from the Addison event too! :-)
A good time was had by all!!!
