I Love It!

No problemo.. it’s news wire stuff.

They can try and ignore the crowds but they will not be able to squelch the message. The left doesn’t like it when center stage is stolen from them.. it distracts from their own agenda.

[JustAmy]

These Flagstaff pictures are great!! Thank you for posting these.

Thanks to all the patriots that are getting out to greet the Tea Party Buses.
