About 5,000 rally against high taxes, big government as tea party express stops in New Lenox
NEW LENOX -- Not long after 10 a.m. Monday, the Tea Party Express inched its way toward the enormous crowd.
There literally were thousands of people jammed inside the open-air pavilion in front of New Lenox Village Hall. Because so many were waving protest signs and chanting their opposition to powerful Democrats, they didn't see the approach of the big bus. But dozens of others did. They split off from the bigger group, surrounding the vehicle.
"God bless you!" called one woman, waving a sign denouncing high taxes.
The bus driver blew the horn. Cameras flashed. The crowd roared.
"It's like going to a rock concert," marveled Ann Bode, 49, of Gibson City.

Newspapers are dying. So is the broadcast network news. People who depend soley on the MSM never knew of the Van Jones thing until he resigned. Then the media blamed “weeks of rightwing attacks”.
Weeks? asked the readers and viewers of the MSM, so why has it never been reported? Many of them will get a wake up, you cannot trust the MSM for the news.
What a change from protest coverage during the Bush Admin. There wasn't a single day when at least one of the commie MSM traitors didn't have a closely cropped "news" clip claiming a couple hundred media personnel were citizens protesting the Bush admin for one thing or another.
MSM are cutting their own throats however. I suppose they are going "all in" in hopes that this Marxist coup will be successful, and they will be safe, becoming the state news agency.
They will all have to stand trial for their treason however, after we retake this country of ours.
I talked to a friend who was there who had talked with the police. They told her it was as many as 15,000 if you count the coming and going. Yet the local media continues to low ball the turnout to 5-6,000.
Here's my . . .

Your list of grievances against the Obama regime is spot on. They are guilty of all of that, and more.
And, it only took them seven months to accomplish it. One wonders what they could accomplish in a full four year term. It’s frightening to even contemplate.
May I humbly offer that one of our chief grievances against the Obama regime is that he has failed to prove his eligibility to hold the office of President, and is very likely an illegal usurper?
Got my poster printed up today . . . Looks great! I’m all set for Saturday now! Hot dog!!
