For a zero hour planning event, Ironton went very well. Mrs. OLA was convinced I'd be the only Tea Party attendee. Our Ironton Tea Party piggybacked off of the Ohio Liberty Council Marietta 912 Project effort. AM 800 WVHU morning host Tom Roten interviewed me at 06:30 Wednesday. BTW, one can catch Tom Roten's Internet simulcast daily.
Nineteen people stopped by for the "Tea Party" at Representative Charlie Wilson's Ironton Office between 11 and 1 on St. Patty's Day. Mr. Phillip Roberts, the Ironton office legislative aide, was very cordial. On behalf of the Tea Partiers, we presented a petition of twenty signatures in opposition to this government-run health care fiasco.
It was a great time for networking, while seeding a new grass roots movement in Ironton. We even remembered to take one photograph before the Tea Party ended.
Cheers,
OLA
I’m glad you all did this. According to Hannity’s website Charlie the “not so liberal I’m a moderate” eventhough he’s 97% voting with Pelosi communist, recently changed his position on the HELLth care bill from leaning no to leaning yes. He teters and taughters in the middle for a while but always ends up heavy on the left. I hope he losses BIG in November.
I think he used to be or even still is in the funeral business. No wonder why he wants this bill to pass- more business for him!
