National Tea Party- 2/27!

[hornadylnl]

That was a pretty good time. It was a decent turnout for a conservative protest. All 3 of Chicago's conservatives showed up. I'll post some pics when I get home.

I saw a few news organizations there. Fox news, ABC, WGN, and radio stations covered the event. Not a bad turnout for the bad weather and short notice. I would say that there were 250+ on hand. I'm not good at estimating crowds and am sticking on the conservitive side with my estimate. I saw a small peice on CLTV while my family and I enjoyed lunch after the rally. I hope the other cities did as well if not better.

EDIT::: I just looked at the site. They say we had about 400 show up.

Foxs Bews with Neil Cavuto just had a speaker from the Chicago and two other Rallies speak on his show. Apparently this is only the beginning. There will be more Rallies.

Who's down to start a big one for Indy?? Do it on a Saturday Afternoon? Get a bigger turnout? I'LL GET TO ATTEND!!!

Neil made a point that he just didn't see the throngs of people there and as one guy said, for every person that attended these Rallies, there were probably a thousand at home and work all sceaming we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore!!!

DAMN STRAIGHT BROTHER!!!!!!

So whatta yall say? Think we can make a local Rally? Get word out and coordinate it with other states? Get this going again?

Don't Forget

Coming To The Indiana State House

This non-partisan event will be widely publicized in the next month to all corners of the state by a network of tax and policy activists who led the 2007 Property Tax Protests and The Indiana Tea Party.

Our ranks have grown much larger in two years.

Experts will speak candidly at the event on all subjects of concern to The People, such as Education Spending, Cronyism, Corporate Welfare, Property Tax, and those shameful politicians who put party before the needs of their citizen employers.

Be warned. Our experts will shock you with their first hand knowledge of the greed and arrogance of many of our government officials.

The theme of our revolt is "RULE OF LAW" & "TRANSPARENCY".

At the conclusion of the event, we will present a plan to our public servants in the legislature to bring full transparency of government directly into every citizen's home. Our team of lawyers are working on it now.

Please put the date on your calendar now, get the time off work if you need to, and make arrangements to come to do your part to control your government. Because that's the only way it can get done. It is our responsibility.

The Justice League of activists are doing the hard part. You just need to tell everyone you know to spend an hour and half with us at the Indiana State House on March 25th to demand Transparency and The Rule of Law.

More details will follow throughout the next month.

I didn't really take all that many pics but here are a few of the better ones. Sorry, I couldn't get the picture to post upright. You'll just have to crank your necks.

Thanks again and I really appreciate the ride and meeting the both of you.
