"More than 30,000 participants this time."

I applaud your efforts, but you are pissing in the wind. Not only will you NOT get anywhere near that number, but even if you did, Obami/Pelosi/Reidi would just ignore it, as would the MSM.

As I've been saying on these "Tea Party" threads, it's time to think outside the box. Yes, there was a time that street demonstrations had some influence...it's no longer the case with our now socialist Fedgov.

If that's not the case, where does the salvation for our Republic lie?

I say massive numbers of lawsuits against perceived un-Constitutional legislation, while building a singular massive Conservative coalition amongst the many conservative organizations.

You may ask how to do that? I'm not sure, but I do know that it will take either one strong leader and/or one organization to pull it together. Although highly unlikely, the above is our last best hope for our Republic, short of revolution, which none of us want.

Without the above, our pitiful little protests will fall on deaf ears of the socialists now in control of our Fedgov.

Hi GL, do you have any specifics for the location, time, date, etc. for this event? The National Tea Party link doesn’t seem to be working for me....

Massive conservative coalition — that is what these tea party events are all about.

30,000 is totally doable, recall this is nationwide, we almost hit that number on 09/27.

Let them ignore it. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win — Ghandi

We are going to win and are counting on Vet’s like you to step up and once again defend liberty by stepping into the breach, hoisting your banner and signing on.

As far as massive lawsuits goes, if you are prepared to take on the responsibility of organizing that effort, I applaud and encourage you but if not, you still need to make the switch from “I Should” to “I Will”.

Also, if you’re not willing to get involved, please don’t denigrate the efforts of those that do.
