With all due respect, why not join forces and go to DC on the 4th of JULY? We may not have anything left to save two months later. Put a million people in DC on the FOURTH OF JULY and they will not be able to ignore you, guaranteed.
There are going to be hundreds of Tea Party Rallies all around the country on July 4th.
All politics starts at a local level just like the hundreds of tea parties on tax day, April 15.
Many people at the July 4th rallies will be telling people about the rally in DC in Sept, and also about the Tea Party Express that is traveling from California to DC starting in late August.
We went to a TEA party on Memorial Day weekend and had 1/5th the attendees of the one on April 15. Not because people aren’t still up in arms about the POSOTUS, but because Memorial Day weekend is a traditional time for family get-togethers and local activities such as parades and picnics honoring our veterans, and to kick off the summer season.
Hubby and I are going to the September 12 FR TEA party, but we will not be attending the July 4 assembly because this holiday is also a time for family and local activities. People staying home for those reasons will impact the attendance no matter who sponsors the party on that day.
Not everyone can afford to go to both, especially from across the country. </obviousman >
