Where will empty chair be going today? Will he golf? Will he campaign while unemployment numbers are revealed again on Friday after the empty chair speech? The MSM cheerleaders love an empty chair.

Freedom lovers should not carry the "empty chair" symbolism so far that it that it overpowers the other powerful points Eastwood skillfully made, all of which resonated with American citizens.

"Empty chairs" don't impose dictatorial powers over individuals, over productive companies whose productivity is limited by excessive regulations, over religious institutions whose charity and help for those in need is threatened by un-Constitutional intrusions into their ability to operate by their religious principles, and on and on!!!

The vacuum of leadership in upholding and defending liberty, signified by the "empty chair," must not be allowed to minimize the determined, unbending, and dictatorial presence which now "occupies" a place reserved for one who would, like George Washington, defend and protect the essential principles underlying "the People's" Constitution.

A message to the Obama administration:

Get off our lawn!

He is campaigning in Ohio. I thought he was supposed to head to LA today following Romney’s lead. Romney was in LA on Friday with Governor Bobby Jindal.

We have an empty chair on our lawn with a simple sign saying “Vote 2012!”. It feels so good.

The media badmouthed Eastwood, that means the media badmouthed the U.S.A. too. Most people we know support Eastwood not the MSM.

One for each of the occupiers...

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home
