So who attended a Tea Party July 4? If so, what did you think?

I volunteered to help with the Indianapolis Tea Party. If you weren't there, you missed out. Seeing all those people marching down Washington St. in the rain was unbelievably motivating. Its real easy to get to feeling down about the way things are going, but standing there in the rain with that crowd of people was one of the most uplifting and inspiring things I have ever been apart of.

How about you guys? Who was there? Check in!

I was there as a volunteer also.....the rain was trying to put a damper on the event but when Raoc and all the other Tea Party organizers, supporters, and volunteers were marching back from the CIRCLE with the drums echoing and the hundreds of supporters that joined in the march was an AWESOME sight and feeling of inspiration!!!!!!!! It was great to be there with everyone!!

I speechified at the Lafayette event. The rain just showed how angry people are.

People are so cheesed off that they will go out in the rain and wave signs and flags rather than sitting at home watching a movie or having a cup of coffee in a Starbuck's.

I was there working off-duty. I was the officer in the gray IMPD car in the rear of the crowd keeping them from getting run over as they made their way to White River Park. Once there I was the dashingly handsome officer with no hair standing around bored because every single person there was well behaved . I did see Savage Eagle wandering around. He is the only one I recognized...must be the facial hair...haha.

I attended the Indianapolis Tea Party with my two kids. They started asking questions on why the news was not there with a story and I had the chance to explain how biased the news is. Actually had a great opportunity earlier that day while talking to neighbors at a gathering and ended up taking 3 others to the Party with us that did not plan to go. Yes it was miserable there in the rain but it was inspiring to see that many people there for that amount of time in the rain. just at the end of the talkers I see a very elderly lady being pushed out of the crowd in a wheelchair holding a protest sign. Thought to myself now THERE is a tough old bird and wished everyone in the US had her passion and patriotism (sp)

I was there, of course, working security in Indy. It was great! At 4pm I got nervous that no one would show for the rain. Then we got downtown and OMG!!!! It was great! I got all choked up!!! It was so motivating seeing all those people standing in the rain making their voices heard. The Reinactment and the reading of the Declaration were the parts tthat I enjoyed the most. Very moving indeed.

I really appreciate you taking time to be there and help us out. You should have came back to the venue and introduced yourself. We're all friends here right?

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I was going to but I'm a pretty shy guy.

I was disappointed with the turn out, and also with the news coverage. Its going to take enough people to fill Lucas Oil Stadium twice before anyone is going to take notice. We need enough people to clog the city stopping all traffic. It should have looked like times square on New Years Eve. Until we can achieve this our efforts will continue to be mute...

I couldn't agree more. I think it's futile at this point, but we have to try SOMETHING. Either this or bloody revolution and I chose this instead. We just have to wake up more people.

I am not saying it wasn't worth the effort, it was. Everything has to start somewhere. We need more people. We have to make our voices heard everyday not just at these events. I talk to people everywhere I go. The person behind the cash register at the grocery store, other people in line at the bank, anyone I come across anywhere I can. Hell I even considered starting to OC with my AR-15 just because I know that will get noticed and draw attention, maybe giving me the opportunity to talk to and wake up more people. However I am not sure how that would go over it might cause more harm than good. I have also wondered what would happen it we got together a few hundred guys to OC like this in downtown Indy totally randomly and unexpectedly. Just all of a sudden out of the blue on a normal everyday day. 200 guys standing at the circle armed with AR-15's that would grab the attention of the national media but I am not sure rather the effect would be beneficial or detrimental...I am pretty sure it would be legal to do so...
