Here are my photos of the Cleveland Tea Party. The weather was typically Cleveland for this time of year, low 40's and drizzle! The Patriots of Cleveland are troopers.

The one in Cincinnati will be on a Sunday to hopefully get a bigger crowd. Aiming for 1000 or more, but we’ll see how it goes (I’ll post pics after the event).

To be honest,my rationale for going was networking,I managed to talk to a number of people from other groups and get some flyers.Jim Rob asked us to organize and network with other groups,here`s my idea,we go to these other sites and sign up as members,then we post threads on their forums asking for formal discussions between their leadership and Jim Rob and our moderators.We need to unite,think of what we could do as a unified front.What do you think?

http://ojjpac.org/ BTW,there will be a meeting of the Medina County Friends and Neighbors tomorrow between 8:30am and 10:AM @ the Corral Room, Golden Corral Restaurant 4913 Grande Blvd.,Medina(across from the Home Depot) their web site is http://www.mcfan.org/ As we`ve been looking for a place to meet for a meet and greet,why not there?As a bonus we get to meet other concerned conservatives and maybe form more alliances.

You were there? What time did you leave?

Country Eagle and I were going around asking if folks were FReepers. I even strolled around and yelled, "Any FReepers here?"

According to a count a reporter from the Plain Dealer did, there were 80-100 in attendance at the rally.

From past experience we need to add 30% to any number the media reports. At least that is the model for DC. Perhaps Cleveland is not so jaded and we should just add 10-20%

Awesome, thanks guys.

With all the layoffs at work, I do not dare miss a day.

I applaud you all.

That’s the problem with hard working stiffs who pay taxes ...

Thanks for paying those taxes! Without those willing to pay their taxes, the government could not function.

after 5 or on the weekends and you will have a much bigger crowd

But there will be no one to know that you are there. No politicians, no workers, no normal people just driving by to see you out there caring about your country and doing all you can to preserve our great nation.

It would have been 50+ me but when you own your own business, things come up at the last minute....

Thanks to those who attended to fight the good fight.

I was gonna go, but I heard it was raining pretty good, etc...

I drove for 60 miles, most of it in a blinding rain storm. By the time I got to Cleveland the rain had stopped. The temperature had dropped some, but at most we only had a fine mist for part of the hour we spent out there.

That's why you should have these on a Saturday 3-8, or and Sunday 1-5. Many have to work Saturdays, and many attend church Sunday morings.

You all need to work with your demographic, not against it.

:-D

I do agree....

100% Problem is, there “goverment” is not there. Or the people that work in the city....
