Im going to a tea party rally in Tallahassee in two hours. In the rain.
Cool, my first Tea Party was April 15th, 2010, in Ft. Worth.
But I really got started with the GOE in DC, March 17, 2007.
That was more fun. The Internet organization of like minded people works in large numbers. Something the OWS 1% do not have, large voting block numbers.
Elections have consequences.
I went to the TEA Party rally at the GA capitol on the day of the first widespread nationwide TEA Party protest on February 27, 2009. This was a little more than a week after Rick Santelli made his comments on CNBC that really got things rolling.
There were 400-500 of us on the front steps of the capitol in a cold, heavy rain. A number of legislators came out to check us out, and clearly were surprised to see this large, mad as hell crowd out there in such inclement conditions. You could just tell this was something big starting up.
