It is going to take a whole lot more than that to put a stop to the madness.

In Ft. Worth, they were preaching to the choir. Move over to Dallas or Austin or Houston.

It’s a growing movement. Perhaps if we grow strong enough Republicans politicians will start to grow back bones.

There were people there that had driven hundreds of miles to participate. People are getting angry....but everyone was in good spirits and peaceful.
I took a bunch of pictures and after it was over..not one bit if trash left on the streets.

It is going to take a whole lot more than that to put a stop to the madness.It's our only hope.
I'd like to see demonstrations like that, with lots of drivers not just honking but stopping and joining in. Block traffic, get fired up, hoot and holler.
Get their attention!! Make them sweat!!
To: Piquaboy
Yeah, unfortunately you are right.
It seems to me there are three groups here and each has a different agenda;
Group 1: Recipients: They want this program to be implemented and actually want more Gov’t intervention in Markets and Lives
Group 2: True Conservatives: Smaller Gov’t, Smaller footprint.
Group 3: The Defensive. Trying to hold on to what they've got, jumping through IRS hoops to squeeze what little they have left and, in general, hunkered down.
IMO Groups 1 and 3 are about 80% of the Electorate.

Much too docile to make a difference. It is a tea party in a literal sense as opposed to a figurative one.
