Today, on 3 day's notice, residents of Connecticut showed up several hundred strong to protest against the economic policy of President Barak Obama

Didja ever find it? :)

So, what exactly is going to be different in your life now? Aside from comic relief, what purpose do these protests serve?

Thank you, Neville Chamberlain. Or should I say, Someone who supports King George.

What it did was make people enthusiastic about calling their reps, more aware of the crimes of the Obama administration, it showed the public that it is OKAY to be against THE ONE...

Something your small mind cannot possibly comprehend...apparently...otherwise you wouldn't have asked such an asinine question.

You know what, next time, we need to dress up like Indians and bring a gangplank to cross

Didja ever find it? :)

No. And I looked for it. I did find one identical to it at the auto parts store. But, I had to pay for it. :)

I have read a lot of the threads about the wonderful turnout
and enthusiasm for the tea parties, but has the MSM reported
on even ONE of them? I’ll nearly bet not!

Good going all you people who were lucky enough to have one
close enough to attend! God bless you all!

Great job everyone. It was nice meeting some fellow freepers! I suggest we critique what should be or can be done the next time to improve our effectiveness. Below is my two cents worth of suggestions.

Give more advanced notice if at all possible. 150-200 with less than 24 hours notice is pretty darn good. Imagine how many we could have with a week or two!

There was man from Greenwich who is starting a grassroots movement for a draft proposal regarding a state sovereignty resolution as they have proposed in other state legislatures. He had his own table with a petition to sign and handed out pamphlets on his strategy. This made me think maybe we should identify other conservative causes for the next rally and each one have a booth for that cause. People can visit these booths at their leisure and decide which one, or more than one, interests them most. I'm sure with a big enough turnout at the next rally we can have a sufficient number of people involved in one or more causes.

Maybe we should also have one or more guest speakers. I'd appreciate your feedback and any other ideas you may have but let's start brainstorming know so we can be even more organized for the next event!
