Independence Day Tea Party Celebration
Saint Paul, Minnesota
Saturday, July 4, 2009
3:00pm - 6:00pm
Upper and Lower Malls of the Minnesota State Capitol
75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
I found this through Google, so I cannot vouch for complete accuracy. I wonder how the Hubster is going to react when I tell him I would rather go to the Tea Party at the Capitol than to hang with his family on the 4th. This could be difficult. LOL.
The Fourth of July
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: Freedom is never free! It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.
Thanks for the link....looks like alot going on altho I haven’t heard about the parties as much as the APril 15th ones.
I posted the link for the New York State parties on the state board. It’s amazing how many there are!
Raleigh NC Independence Day Tea Party
Sat, July 4th from 1-5 at Halifax Mall

I stand by to wire said money, via an FR friend JimRob knows and trusts, if ANYONE is willing to make a real stand! This is a genuine offer. I can guarantee you that your protest/conference will have NO impact on the obambi, reid, pelosi triad. It's time for more assertive action!
I'm sticking my neck out here to support those who would refuse to accept our encroaching socialist un-Constitutional leviathan and make a REAL stand other than carrying signs with smiles. Are you willing to do the same? Sorry I can't join you. If I could, I would be the first to be hauled away in handcuffs.
However, always remember to be respectful of the Police even if you do decide to sit-in and exercise civil disobedience, which is now warranted. The Republic is dying. What will you do to stop it?

I was proud to attend the first Woodlands Tea Party on April 15th. Like everyone else, I was so impressed by the turnout. We were expecting 600-800 people, and 7,000 showed up! For those Freepers out there who live north of Houston, come join us!

My husband and I can’t make it to a Tea Party Rally on the 4th, so we wrote a rallying song mostly because we have stayed complacent for far too long and it is time to stand up for FREEDOM! Check it out:
