Tea parties spill principles, not tea

Will the Trash Cleanup happen if weather is lousy?........ YES! If we can't see the trash - we will simply march! :) http://rlc.meetup.com/100/calendar/10142635/

Shepard and Todd, thanks for having the courage to sponsor these events. Also thanks to Village Inn for allowing you to use its property to promote liberty. I will be attending another TEA party in Casper at noon today. I hope our simple message is heard by our fellow Americans, not just the ones who watch independent or conservative media. We are speaking for ALL Americans today, even the ones who disagree with us.

The idea of liberty and freedom are etched on the history of this country. We see it nearly everywhere we turn: on our currency, in songs, in business names, in the names of of towns and cities. Many of us recognize that freedom isn't simply something that we talk about - we live it every day. Let's remember that it takes courage to be free, and it takes exceptional courage to let others be free, and that's the kind of freedom that matters most.

I hope the government gives these protests the respect that they are due. This country is in dire need of a review of our founding principals of liberty and limited government.

I hope the Tea Parties go well today. SOmething that's received very little publicity in the media is how one of Obama's very first public acts as president was to break his promise of no new taxes on those earning less than $250k per year. He singled out the poorest of the poor well-defined minority groups in America, those who cannot afford to even buy a pack of cigarettes but are reduced to rolling their own from shreds of loose tobacco and scraps of paper, and hit them with a tax incease of OVER 2,000%. No, that is not a misprint: from about $1/pound increased to about $24/pound. . - . - . That is the sort of action that inspired the original Boston Tea Party and that is the sort of action that's enraging so many today. . - . - . Mihcael J.

Cheyenne had an unexpectedly large turnout at their noon demonstration today, perhaps 200+ people == lots of attention to the speakers. I'm impressed with Jackon's event. To me the basic issue is moral responsibility and faith in what we know as God, something that was mentioned here. Fundamentals is where we find broad agreement.

Noon event had 125 peole at peak... evening about 25 people... an attendee used a clicker to count passing motorists that either honked or gave a thumbs up... = 1,093!!!!

The "Y" at Cutty's was a great place with really good public coverage. Regardless of the weather we had a good number of supporters stand with signs. I would say a majority of the responses were positive with honking, waving and thumbs up. We did a good job at joining the rest of the country yesterday in standing against too much government being involved in our lives, and spending more than the tax revenue that is available leaving us and our children in debt for many years to come. Yes we need programs, but many are unnecessary or too elaborate and should not be paid via the federal/state governments with our tax money. Just because we need a new pair of shoes does not mean we have to buy them on Rodeo Drive, Payless will suffice.
