Well, it was more than a thousand all told at the Denton, TX rally.
The List, ping
ummmm....why does this article make sooo many references to Norquist and his “Americans for Tax Reform”? Maybe it’s just me, but the way this article reads leads me to believe that he/they are/were much more involved in our grassroots movement than I’d like. Anyone?
On a Wednesday, a working day, TAX day and most of which were around the all too brief lunch time!?!!?!
You KNOW this is on a meeting agenda somewhere....
Tell the Dems a Trillion.
They won’t know the difference.
Rush said some org said about 189,000 today. No way it was that small.
We had a couple thousand attendees in my town, and neither I nor any of my associates were able to make it. I bet the vast bulk of people who wanted to go were unable. One million may have showed up, but probably tens of millions agree 100% with the sentiments expressed. Add all those “extremists” who serve their country to our ranks and the fascists are in pretty deep Pelosi.
Their biggest hope is that we won't stick together and persist. Senators up for re-election will vote against this administration to save themselves. We really have the power to stop this administration and it's radical policies.
Nate Silver of 538.com says the Tea Parties numbered 262,000 nationwide.
If Obama isn’t careful, next time it’ll be 2-million.
Maybe 3-million!
I counted > 10 million (using my ACORN statistics ...).
And I guarantee you on a Wednesday there’s a large number of people who can’t go. We had nearly as many a couple of Saturdays ago as some cities 10 times our size had tax day.
Rule of thumb legislators in our state had always told us is that for every one who speaks out there are 10 who don’t who feel the same. Add in all the tea parties that have happened and are yet to come times 10 and that is enough to scare any legislator.
“We want to send a message to them: We hired them; we can fire them. They work for us. They seem to have forgotten that.”
What I’m concerned about it voter fraud. ACORN, a corrupted census count, paid off judges and corrupt politicians. We saw a level of it during the presidential election and the problem is only going to get bigger. The “leaders” will make sure our will isn’t taken into account. Good candidates will be stopped before they can make it to the final ballots. Those for the status quo will tell us whatever we want to hear to get elected.
This is no longer a government of, for and by the people.
