I just got back from the Franklin, TN Tea Party. The crowd was HUGE!!! Nashville, Kingston, and Mt. Juliet had large crowds also. Not good at estimating but I’m going with close to 1,000 in Franklin. I’ll keep a check for the official tally.

Good crowd, very nice except for one jerk who couldn’t help but voice his displeasure at seeing a black female conservative. His words were, ‘wanna be conservative who doesn’t make enough money to be a Republican’. I laughed, considering he has no idea how much I make. Overall, an amazing and proud day.

Anyway, I took pictures and will attempt to post them.

Glad you had a great time. We had people of every color there and especially a good representation of young people. And not just kids brought by their parents, but young people with signs. And they were listening to the event speakers too.

I went to the columbus tea party. The crowd was good sized, maybe 4K-5K. the signs were great. Unfortunately other than a pharmacist from Marysville who spoke about concerns of small business, the speakers were absolutelty lame. They completely missed the point. I left when they put the Delaware county recorder on to speak and he spoke about how important his [gov't] job is.

They had another guy plugging the fair tax, but he never mentioned anything about how spending needs to be cut, just how redoing the tax system will fix everything (yeah - right)

The speakers were lame ass politicians who did not grasp the event at all. I walked away thinking that if that is the best our side can put up then we have lost.

If I were a Democrat, I would have been laughing at the lameness of the oposition.
