Outstanding!
Prayers up.
Travel safe.
I’ll be there this morning and be there early in hope that the crowd is HUGH.
Remember the Alamo!
Thanks, Jim.
Hope you’re tanking up on lots of Tex-Mex while you’re there. See ya in about five hours!
I hope the local media gives the Patriots as much coverage as they did those at the mooove on candlelight vigil last night.
DEFEAT THE DEBTOCRATS IN CONGRESS!! Go get ‘em Jim!
Enjoy the travels.
11:00 am? 5:00 pm? Don’t they have Tea Parties for working people?
I never heard anything about the El Paso tea party. Does anybody have a link to that thread and/or a description (with pics, too) ;)
New Anthem:
We Won’t Pay (apologies to the offspring)
Barack’s got a Health care plan
And he thinks it is great
He tells me every day
He says “we need to redistribute your income
In the worst kind of way”
He sits on his ass
We work our hands to the bone
To give him money every payday
They want more dinero just like ancient rome
Well my friends
You gotta say
We won’t pay, We won’t pay ya, no way
Obama needs to get a new job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Obama needs to get a new job
I guess all our money, well it isn’t enough
To keep their tax collectors at bay
I guess all our money, well it isn’t enough
Cause Washington has got expensive tastes
We won’t pay, We won’t pay ya, no way
The Politicians need to get a new job
Say no way, say no way, no way
The Politicians need to get a new job
Well I guess it ain’t easy doing nothing at all
But hey man free rides just don’t come along
every day
Let me tell you about my other friend now
Pelosi wants cap and trade, man that makes me sick
She tells me every day
They want more dinero just like ancient rome
Well my friend
You gotta say
We won’t pay, We won’t pay ya, no way
Pelosi needs to get a new job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Pelosi needs to get a new job
As long as you are there, at least go to Riverwalk and ride the boat. It is pretty cool.
Also, the restaurants along riverwalk look expensive, but they are not. Eat lunch there.
The riverwalk is about 2 blocks from the Alamo.
I think the boat ride costs 8 dollars and you buy a ticket before getting on the boat.
There is a fabulous italian place underneath the mall that is near the alamo, but all the restaurants are inexpensive and pretty good, in spite of looking like tourist traps.
At least wave as you drive past Round Rock.
Hey...no stop over in Austin???
Not all of us here are liberals!!!
At least honk the horn when driving thru on IH-35!!!!
He posted the same account as a comment to an Austin American Statesman article

"I am a proud veteran,,I swore a solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United Staes of America,,,Last week I attended, very peacefully, a town hall hosted by Cong Charles Gonzales in San Antonio. I watched and heard as the congressman belittled my constitution as an old piece of paper that was written more than 200 years ago,,,and holds no significant value for today’s times. His exact quote."
Gonzalez won with 72% of the vote in 2008, but that was a throw-out-the-republicans year, and I think this episode should be a campaign issue in 2010. It astounds me that we have so many traitors who are not even trying to conceal their ideologies, and yet they are still in office.

Griff Jenkens of Fox News was there. He snuck up on us from behind. I looked back and saw he was standing right next to me, interviewing several tea partygoers with a mike and camera crew.
I estimate there were between 500 and 1000 who showed up.
“Proud of you guys & gals” bump.
It was a great turnout! They said more attended today than any other Waco tea party event. Many booths with candidates introducing themselves and people selling t-shirts, water, flags, etc. I noticed lots of senior citizens that probably wouldn't’t be out in 100 degree weather. Very concerned, energized crowd.
There were only 8 protesters!! (LOL-I counted!) The police made them keep their distance but of course the anchorette @ one local TV station interviewed them.
Looking forward to seeing you in DC!
