Thank You Tea Party Protesters!

I want to thank all those who went to Washington, D.C. this week and this weekend to take a heartfelt stand for our freedom. And thanks to those who fought the battle from home.

You have made a difference, even though it appears a battle has been lost today.

Our opponents fear you. Don't be fooled by their bravado. And don't be intimidated by their attempts to paint you in a false light. They know how strongly you feel about defending our liberty.

Liberal standard bearer Howard Fineman of Newsweek wrote this about the Tea Party protesters still at the Capitol at 10 p.m. on Sunday night:

I'm sitting in the House Press Gallery writing a piece for Newsweek. It's almost 10 pm and the House is moving toward a vote. On the plaza below, outside the Capitol, I can hear the remnants of a raucous Tea Party crowd. They are chanting "Nancy! Nancy!" and "Kill the Bill." They just sang "God Bless America." I've been around a while, and don't remember a crowd of foes trying to shout down a bill from outside as the vote approached. Maybe it's happened. Though the voices are faint, they're worth noting--and remembering.

I've been around a while, too, and I am enormously proud of the work that was done this week by our side. You will be remembered. And if you stay the course you will be victorious one day.

We are going to need the full list of those who betrayed our country. Never forget what they have done. No matter how long they remain in D.C. or when they retire and go home, never never let up on them. Shame them in public. Do not give them another moment’s peace in their lifetime. Continue to send them letters of shame. Lay out in clear terms what they have done to our country and how history will damn them for the traitors they are. Resist everything they try to do. No justice, no peace. Take lessons from their days of protest. Keep marching and keep screaming in their faces.

I like it. Never stop.
