This slide show captured most of the signs and faces attached to our evening teaparty in Denver.
Just a few facts about our organizational efforts for this teaparty:
I spent two months and approx. 205 volunteer hours planning this event. All time donated for free. I also spent $520.00 out of pocket for the sound and light system rental, batteries, and blank CD's.
We had a team of people who donated as yet uncounted volunteer hours helping with the logistics of this event.
We had pledged donations of $275.00 before the event (I have yet to see any of this money), and we collected $120.00 at one of our planning meetings, and in our donation bin at the actual event we collected $185.00. We did not charge for booth space at our event, and the permit from the Denver Capitol was free.
All speakers, our national anthem contest winner Andrea Chase, and our security team drove themselves to our event (And in Andreas case - flew to Colorado from texas with her mother), and all of them donated their time to make this event a success!
No one was paid anything for helping, they all did it because they wanted to step up and spend time, money, and resources on the Defense of Liberty.

thanks.
Thanks for all your hard work. Wish I could have attended a Tea Party event this weekend. Since I couldn’t I’ll watch reports on all the events and enjoy the great pictures.
Just read your profile. How courageous you are. Thanks for what you are doing.
Great job.
Thanks for all you have done.
Your efforts are appreciated. Thanks!
Changing the hearts and minds of entrenched Lib areas like that is a beautiful thing.
Huge applause to all who endured the weather to stand up for America. Thank you!
With the number of hostile moonbats in Denver, I actually think the bad weather was a deterent to THEM, not us!

It was really fun!

That is why I took the time to organize this local event, I figured lots of people were like me and could not take the trip to DC and wanted to stand up for freedom at home. I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures, I saw that young man shooting all over the place, but I did not know he was from Channel 7.
