At the Fresno California Tea Party, the crowd of several thousand was polite and courteous. There were babies, young children, teenagers, adults and seniors. I asked my son and his girlfriend, upon leaving, to look at all the trash left behind. They noted that there was none. We also observed the line of police officers who were quietly watching our peaceful but energetic group. They had nothing to do. It was an awesome event. I didn’t notice any of the types of people Pelosi described, except a lot of gun nuts!

Our Los Angeles area event provided police with little to do, either. Their biggest “job” was to ride bikes up and down the main street and asking us to stay on the curb and not let huge flags hang over the street too far. Yeah, we were an unruly group!
