Thank you all very much!!
Hope to see you in DC!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Its pouring here in the Jackson Area right now but supposed to let up around noonish. Either way I’ll be there.
My family and I will be in Troy tonight.
I’ll have two neon green signs.
“Saying NO to socialism in not un-american”
“Why does a community organizer complain when a community organizes.”
I’m an American without health insurance due to a job loss. I will not accept the insanity that is Obamacare.
Any stats on how many patriots have attended all the stops so far?
Shame on the MSM for ignoring them and you all for the most part!!
Hi Jim — so, do we have a tally at this point for those who’ve attended the Rallies? That would be great to post — very exciting stuff. I can’t be in DC on the 12th but will be watching and staying online for updates...
Hubby & I will also be at the Troy event. We are still planning on hitting the Brighton event, but we’ll have to leave here around 2:00 in order to get there in time.
Also, got an email from David Law, Oakland County GOP about the event in Troy tonight. He has emailed his entire contact list so hopefully the Troy event will be a huge turnout.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!!!
And the local paper has NOTHING on it’s website about it!
Perhaps you can get one to the CitPat, in case they run a story later?
I wish I could have made it over to meet him.
* JimRob, not jibrob...lol
Sun is peeking out now.
I love it!!!
I used to live in Massillon and worked in Canton. Now if I hadn’t moved to Philly in 1982 I would be able to be at the Tea Party!!! Hope you have a great reception, Jim!!
Pictures from Jackson. I’m rather pleased with the turnout especially considering the weather.

I don't have pics, but a friend of mine I ran into there will have them up on his site.
BTW - That rain from Jackson must have followed them here.
We left Brighton a little while ago. Had some rain but a great crowd. Thousands of patriots there. Saw several reporters walking around scribbling in notebooks and there was a Fox helicopter circling overhead. Like Joliet/New Lenox, the crowd was probably larger than expected. Overflowed the park and spilled across the sidewalks into the streets in places. I usually try to skirt around the crowd to get a feel for its size, but couldn’t do it this time. Too thick with people and I couldn’t get through. Gave up and tried to edge up closer to the stage but couldn’t do that either. Then it started raining so after getting good and wet, decided to leave a little early to get a head start to Troy.
We also had a great crowd in Jackson earlier today. They were spread over a hillside facing the stage. I counted at least twenty uneven rows of people with about sixty or more in each row. Some say there were 600 to 700 hundred people there, but it could’ve been a thousand or more.
