Manchester, New Hampshire Tea Party

We had a great tea party on Manchester, New Hampshire this evening. I would estimate the crowd at close to (if not over) 1000 patriots. On hand were Mayor Frank Guinta of Manchester, the mayor of Franklin, NH, local sports radio celebrity Charlie Sherman, and Charles Arlinghaus of the NH Union Leader, among others. I saw no sign of "disruptors" anywhere. Instead a throng of patriots gathered to launch an effort whose importance cannot be overestimated, but whose vitality will be determined by our individual involvement and commitment. Pictures begin with my comment below.

I didn’t see Mark - he lives about 70 miles from here, but I’m sure he would have enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for the ping, Andy. Here's a few from the Plymouth event. Not bad for a liberal college town. I bet we had a couple hundred there. A great time was had by all with nothing to spoil it.

Follow up the Tea Party with a phone call to your U.S. senator advising them to vote NO on the budget. Encourage others to do likewise. And, the true power is at the polls in 2010!

This was a lot more fun than the FReep we tried to do there at that same location some over a year ago. It was so cold and miserable that day that even the moonbats we were FReeping didn’t show up! LOL!

I wonder if there were any Free-staters there.

Yes - as a matter of fact I saw a few signs indicating they were involved with the Free State movement.

Thanks for the pix! It’s always nice to see some signs of intelligent life in college towns. ;-)

Really sorry I missed the gig!

I was planning on being there, honest!

But, “my shoe laces were untied, the sun was in my eyes, I didn’t know the gun was loaded, my tux was in the cleaners...”, or would you believe, I “was drinking some chartruse on the corner of heart attack and vine, stopped by some rib joint and lost all track of time”, or, as it really was, I got stuck going to job sitte near Waco, TX, working until 6 PM and then had to drive back to Houston(4 hrs).

Props to those that made it there, anywhere, and square!

Hmmm... where have I heard this before....

"Honest: I ran out of gas… I had a flat tire… I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners… An old friend came in from out of town…Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake… a terrible flood…locusts! It wasn't my fault – I swear to God!!!"

Heh heh. Sorry you missed it, but I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
