California ping, Please?
For those of you who don’t know, this tea party group is named after the intersection of the two freeways that join near our venue. We are one of the largest tea party groups in California, averaging 200 people per meeting. Our biggest audience was almost 500 people who came to listen to Dinesh D’Souza.
Our pitch is: We believe in our Constitution, Prudent Government and Education.
With the exception of this upcoming concert, each meeting has a presentation on our Constitutional Heritage.
What fun!

You can’t say Civil War.

I put that on my calendar.
Several California place names originated during the war. Miners in the vicinity of Lone Pine celebrated the success of the CSS Alabama by naming their claims' location "The Alabama Hills."
Not to be outdone, after the sinking of the Alabama by the USS Kearsarge, miners near Independence named their claims the "Kearsarge Mine" and the mining district became the "Kearsarge Mining District".
Soon the pass to the mines became "Kearsarge Pass", the 12,000'+ mountain became "Kearsarge Peak", and the mining camp became "Kearsarge City".
Thanks for announcing that concert on FR. Otherwise, I would never have known about it. That band certainly has talent—they can sing as well as play.
I also enjoyed meeting you—one of the few Freepers I have ever met in person.
