Massive nationwide Tea Parties draw millions
Portland Civil Rights Examiner ^ | 9-13-2009 | Dianna Cotter

The Nationwide Tea Parties were a huge Success! From coast to coast millions of people turned out on September 12th to protest big Government. People from all walks of life, from students to retirees, from black to white across the entire ethnic and racial rainbow that is America joined together to tell Congress and the White House, enough is enough. You have spent too much, indebted us beyond what the human mind can realistically grasp. You have pushed the Nation too far to the left towards Socialism, and today Society pushed back.

The Authorities in Washington D.C. do not give number estimates as to crowd size, but the estimate from differing news agencies such as CNN FoxNews and MSNBC give the numbers between several hundreds of thousands to 1.2 and up to 2 Million marching on D.C. It took over 4 hours for the Marchers to move down Pennsylvania Avenue onto the mall, taking up all 4 lanes and both sidewalks. The crowd was massive and peaceful, many folks brought their children!

This is war and Obama didn’t hear the first shot because he had his big mouth going and his ears full of his own BS.

Just a note to leftists who would dismiss this movement. The people who turned out, and the many times more of us who wanted to, unlike your typhical "protestor class" anachists, smelly hippies, inner city "bus me to the protest for beer and cigs" have a few things in common.

We have things. We have homes, jobs, families. We worked for these things, we know the value of them. We understand the cost of losing them. We also have guns. You're not going to get them and you'd better pray we don't need to use them to protect what is ours.

99.9% of those 9-12 crowds (and the millions of us who couldn't make it there) could have been fully armed without a trip to a gunshop.

I wonder if the libs really take a group of happy civil protesters seriously when the libs always show an angry face to their protests? Are the 9/12 protestors getting their point across?

Remeber that guns should only be used for self-defense.

A hammer, yard hatchet, machete, or any of a dozen other common implements are infinitely better than a firearm. They leave no powder residue, no bullets that can be traced back, etc.

BHO and his criminal organizations and outlaw czarist government are entrenched and powerful. Their control should be eliminated institution by institution. Like minded people are awakening to the danger that their state socialism poses. That is the first step.

We should only resort to our guns if they resort to open Gestapo tactics.

When you see how this experience is covered by the drive-bys and MSM intent to flavor it different,you know even more about how it got to be this way.
Then 3 million but when they have our medical and IRS all tied together with acorn census investigation and we pay for it all,in their minds, they already accomplished this. IT WAS a slam dunk. It bounces back in their face. They are dribbling around and waiting for another opportunity.

I was at a college football game while this was going on.

When the ref’s blew a call and gave the ball to the other team, I saw a guy stand up a holler that he was a socialist.

Not a chance, they are way to into this. Many are probably questioning what to do, but their backers have too much invested to let them off the hook now.

Yeah we got our point across.

Dems have done everything they can to paint conservatives as angry mobs. And their paid trolls push that image.

THAT'S what they WANT people to see. But even CNN couldn't find an example of the caricature they've tried to make of us. We are a happy people.

The best thing for us to do is BE WHO WE ARE.

Let the dems be the lying manipulators. They can get their 'rent-a-crowd trolls to look anyway they want BECAUSE THEY PAY THEM.

Our people are free citizens - and they can look however they want to look.

One more note to the socialists. Imagine each one of these folks with a gun and willing to take at least one shot for the future of our nation.

Surrender. You are surrounded.

My favorite sign: On top a picture of Martin Luther King “He had a dream”. Underneath a picture of Barack Obama “We’ve got a nightmare”.

END GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION

This is not a Dem or a GOP issue: We must unite and get rid of the corrupt actors who are running our nation.

Thats a good one. My favorite was “ it doesn’t matter what this sign says, you still say I’m a racist”.

Tea party protest on the 1 mile long bridge I attended in FL yesterday was packed from one end to the other, shoulder to shoulder and people were starting to line up on the other side of the bridge during the height. Not sure how many folks line up shoulder to shoulder in one mile, but I am sure smarter folks than me can guesstimate. If I had to give number I would say between 2 and 3 thousand attended.
