YAKIMA, Wash. — For the second time in five days, hundreds of angry people gathered in downtown Yakima for a "tea party" demonstration Wednesday in protest of federal bailout and stimulus spending

[Hanna548]

There was a Tea Party last Saturday which drew 300-600 people dependig on who you talk to and on Wed there was another one and attendance is estimated at 500-700. I realize these are not huge numbers, but the reality is, this is nothing less than a miracle to get those kinds of numbers to come to a rally at 3:00 in the afternoon during the week is nothing less than unheard of. Heck you couldn't get 10 people to come out for something like this normally. Take heart people, we have something going here, we just need to maintain it and grow it.

Yes, like a garden. Sow the seeds, feed and nurture it. We can't let go of this. Our country depends on us.
