We attended from noon to 2:00 in Ventura, CA. Guess 2,000 to 3,000 people there. Very enthusiastic crowd and drivers-by, too. Best experience: We were located on a corner where people turn right to enter the Government Center. There’s a stoplight there. One women with two children, ages approx. 10 and 5, had to stop for the red light. She said, “Kids, never forget what you’re seeing now. These are real Americans.”

After that, at 3:00, went to the one at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley just to see how that was going. People were just beginning to arrive, but the crowd was quite large already and very rowdy.

Just got back from the Tea Party in Pittsfield, MA. About 200 of us, great weather, and we had a ton of support from people driving by. Lots of honks and thumbs up to us. Even from a fire truck driving by, they all leaned out and cheered us. In the final 20 minutes, about a dozen young baggy pants types suddenly showed up with their own hand made Obama signs and began making a bit of trouble. But we called the Pittsfield P.D., and they arrived in at least 6 squad cars, so the goons left, lol. We were all laughing at em. God Bless America!!!

Carson City, Nevada...the idiot Harry Reid just mentioned on local radio that he wasn't concerned about the TEA Parties...only 250-people in Carson according to Pinky Reid.

Thanks for these pics. There are a lot of great Americans in the Harrisburg area.

I especially like the big pig, and the sign that says “I am not your ATM”.

I bet you’re thinking of a 100 comebacks now LOL! You did a good job in your reaction. I would have wanted to say, “Yeah, Jesus loves you too and it probably upsets him that you worship Obama”.

Anyway, I got approached by press at a GA event, had no idea who they were (or even if they were conservative) so I just said, “My sign says all I want to say right now”

Kingsport and Bristol TN reporting in. Good crowd, somewhat homogeneous. Would like to have seen speakers firing up the crowd a little more. People were driving by but no one was honking in support. I think its because people in the cars were trying to be polite and that there was a school in session on the other side of our meeting site. We were herded into an are so we could sign a one piece declaration(cool), some petitions, and we were given a free U.S. Constitution.(People still read that? Well libs don’t but my kids do).

Evidently that dumb **** thinks you can buy people off with a crappy tax rebate. That was pathetically funny.

Very important! This is a huge movement that is sweeping the country. The MSM and typical leftist whores are scared silly!

Just came back from the Tea Party in Bossier City, LA. There were about 1,500-2,000 people in attendance with some drivers (and one train) honking as they past by the rally. The crowd was a lot more than I expected.

The local CBS, NBC, and ABC affiliates were at the site for the entire rally. No trouble from any counter-protestors from what I could see.

It felt really great seeing the large turnout today, because I know I’m not alone in my beliefs.

Whoops I failed to mention in my prior post that Kingsport was more special than some other cities for we had the pleasure of seeing our hometown Sarah Palin impersonator, you betcha. It was great.

P.S. We have to meet sometime. I am in Bristol. I want to start a locals only political group and maybe have some development on self-sufficiency training and preparedness training on a shoe string budget.
