Columbia Missouri Tea Party Report
self | 3/12/09 | o_zarkman44

Tea Party Report. A cold wind didn't stop an estimated crowd of 400 to 500 people from gathering at Flat Branch Park for the Columbia, Missouri Tea party. The Tea party was organized by Morning Drive Host Tom Bradley and The Drive Host Gary Nolan from The Eagle 93.9FM and broadcast live for the entire two hours.

Dozens of signs voicing disgust over the total disregard of the spending spree by Democrats were displayed defiantly. One notable sign was held by a four year old Girl that said "I OWE WHAT??" Numerous other children with signs were interviewed. It is amazing the understanding they have about how unfair taxation will affect their future.

During the Tea party numerous people were interviewed by the hosts. Among the guest were representitives from the fairtax.org, libertarian party, US Representitive Blaine Leutkemyer office, plus numerous people from the crowd. Letters of protest were read to the crowd, motivating the crowd to chant "NO MORE STIMULUS" on several occasions. The letters were placed in a package that will be sent to Washington DC. Also the package will contain an estimated 100 pounds of tea bags to be re-distributed around Washington DC, leaving no socialist without. The event was concluded with a ceremonial dipping of tea bags in Flat Branch Creek by Co Host Tom Bradley.

The message was loud and clear. Missouri is very disappointed with our so called representitives and Senators in Washington. We aren't going to take it any more.

It couldn’t have been so successful without the organization skills of our “evil talk radio” hosts Gary Nolan and Tom Bradley from “The Eagle 93.9FM”.

Look for Upcoming information on another “tea party” on the Capital grounds in Jefferson City in April. I visited with several people yesterday who are definitely interested in continuing the momentum. Several were also attending the Glenn Beck “meetups” today so hopefully they will report back this evening. We will be watching Beck from the comfort of home.

This is the momentum we have been needing in America for a long long time. Don’t let the opportunity of crisis go to waste!

Gary Nolan, If I understand correctly, was a Libertarian candidate for POTUS a few years ago. Hillary Clinton once called him one of the top 10 evil conservatives in America.
I know he is a big supporter of Libertarain issues. Which in comparison, I totally agree.
