Don't let the Marxist mainstream media or the handful of naysayers on FR or elsewhere tell you otherwise. The Tax Day TEA Party/Tax Revolt protest yesterday was a HUGE success!! Hundreds of thousands of fed-up protesters turned out in hundreds of cities across our nation!!

And we're not done yet. I see there are already grassroots plans being laid for another protest on July 4th. If we can get hundreds of thousands to turn out on a workday, a cold and rainy workday at that in some cities, then hopefully we can turn out even more on a July 4th Saturday event!

We had a national Boston Tea Party yesterday, now let the July 4th protest be our Independence Day!!

Tyrants ignore the wrath of people at their own peril. There will be a turnover in congress next year, I double dog guarantee it!!

Protest these high spending/high taxing, usurping tyrants every chance you get. Write letters. Call, FAX. Visit their offices. Tell them in no uncertain terms that you are fed up and you're not going to take it any longer!! Convert your anger to votes and Vote the bastards out!!

Congratulations grassroots protesters!! Great job!!

A July 4th protest would be the best. Too many can’t attend on a work day. And it would also push the point that this isn’t just about taxes. It’s about UNCONSTITUTIONAL government - our politicians have run amuck & it’s time to bring them to heel!

Ft. Lauderdale - cops estimated well over 5,000.

It was awesome!

Odd, I don’t feel like an extremist.

As I said on another thread, the best thing was just being there physically and seeing and knowing other people who think like you. I believe it’s called ‘bonding’.

The left has been doing it for many many years. Leftist demonstrations gave the participants a feeling of exhiliration and presence; and now we are doing it for a GOOD cause.

I think it will start growing fast once that wonderful feeling of bonding has started.

People have complained about poor turnout from conservatives at demos for years; but once it gets started, you meet and know others, it will really take off.

Tyrants ignore the wrath of people at their own peril.

I think it is pretty bad when hundreds of thousands of folks rally for a protest against your administration's fiscal policies... especially when you only been in office for 3 freakin' months...

Obama can keep ignoring us... but we are going to get bigger and louder...

look for the Obamians to soil their diapers, panic, and then attempt some totally outrageous suppression as a result

From your lips to God's ear, JimRob!

I was at the Boston Tea Party, Boston, MA yesterday. It was a wonderful, inspiring day! There were some ~1,000 people in attendance. I'm hoping there will be another event in Boston on Independence Day! I'll be there with boots on if there is!

I’m glad we were successful....at getting a few hundred thousand out in the streets. Will we do more than try to get the attention of the MSM next time?

Judging by the incessant whining of the Commie/Pinkos like Keith Olbermensch and Anderson Pooper.....the Tea Parties were a huge success

July 4th...cant wait. The Return of America

Has anyone seen one mention today of the tea party on CNN’s website? Even on their back pages? I haven’t.

The word is getting out, Jim. I told several folks at our tea party about FR, they were intrigued. New tea party forums are sprouting up today, and I suggest to all Freepers, join the local chats that are now surging, tell them to check out FreeRepublic, so they can feel connected. Most are brand new to conservative activism, and this site is their Holy Grail.

Something’s in the air.
