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.

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...

Just listened to an interview with the Tea Party Express organizer Mark Williams on the Frank Beckmann Show WJR 760. Mr. Williams mentioned that the express just pulled into Jackson, MI. and that there were about 700 people. The rain just stopped here in Livonia. I'll will be attending the event in Troy this evening.Have a good one.

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!!!

I’ll be there with numerous family members along with their children! The April 15th turnout in Troy was about 2000 patriots; this will be much bigger!

Some of the signs we’ve been using at Peters protests & various town hall meetings:

“Dr. Kevorkian Senior Health Care Plan
It’s Shovel Ready!”

“Kill the Bill
Not Granny!”

“Obama, Take the red pill.
Do the math.
It doesn’t add up!”

Great photo of JibRob!

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.

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.

Brighton was packed. I drove up from A2 to a more friendly area for conservatives. At least 2500 were there. I think maybe 20 them were democrats.

I don't have pics, but a friend of mine I ran into there will have them up on his site.

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.
