Nashville Tea Party Serves It Hot!

POLITICAL PROFILING BY THE PEOPLE HAS BEGUN; SIGNS OF THE TIMES




Rep. Marsha Blackburn with grandson, Jack, What's going on in Washington is the height of selfishness.

Ladies of tea, joining forces for a new day.

Tennessee tax protester Ben Cunningham gets ready to bring the scissors out to cut-in-two the Congressional Credit Card which expired today, a la Dave Ramsey. Where was Dave anyway?




Friend and fellow blogger Bob Krumm.


Conservative radio host Steve Gill with rabble rouser. We will not back down, we will not turn back. We will not stop until we have taken this country back.

Good question, and actually, the answer to the above is, I don't have that particular organ, but I wouldn't want Barney checking anything.

Great idea: The Constitution, an endangered species. Now, how can we preserve it?

Blogger/organizer and new friend Ken Marrero of Blue Collar Muse with his family.






Ken, I love you, man.
First to arrive and last to leave---we all had such fun.

So far so good. But this is one day. We have a long ways to go in order to take our country back. One city, county and state at a time.

I totally agree, Chris. Yet without this terrific ,we wouldn't have any momentum to build on.

We had a good turnout in Franklin on the square. It is indeed a good start, but if people do not keep up the effort, it will be no more than a comical footnote in history. And this is what the Left wants to happen.

Your words are well taken Tregonsee. Couldn't agree more.

I had intended to come to Franklin at 6, but time got away from me. Glad it went well. Marsha is the best!

It was fun to read your account of the Nashville Tea Party, which was so obviously a spectacular success.

We had a much more modest gathering in downtown napa this morning, but I was nonetheless stunned -- I didn't think there were as many as 200 center-right pweople in the whole Bay Area, let alone in our small town!

I was delighted that Glenn Reynolds filed my eye-witness account, for what it was worth, in its entirety (scroll down to a bit below the photo of the large Cincinnati gathering).

Be well.

I'm taking the liberty to copy Glenn Reynold's post:

And reader James Woolery writes from Napa:


I took the first two hours of my work day off as vacation so I could go to the Tea Party in downtown Napa before heading into the hospital in Vallejo to do consultations.

There were about 200 protesters at the gathering, which was quiet and good-natured. People assembled on Main Street downtown in front of the office of Mike Thompson, our local US Congressman, a Democrat. (He did not seem to be in at the time!) There were people of all ages, but the majority appeared to be boomers. Being a veteran of anti-Vietnam War protests in my youth, it was striking to witness the tone of this gathering, which was peaceful in the extreme, entirely moderate (the most raucous expression of protest was a guy beating on a drum in a sort of Revolutionary War tattoo!)…

There were no counter-protesters or agents provocateurs.

I was suprised and encouraged that there were as many as 200 people in the Napa Valley who would attend a gathering like this.

Many who drove down Main Street past the protesters honked in support!

I asked a woman who took a photo of the whole group to forward it to you; I’m not certain that will happen, but I hope so.

We had over 700 in Little Rock, a very pleasant surprise. Your pictures are great, thanks for sharing.

Do not for a minute believe what the main stream media is reporting
about Tea Party attendance. There were 800 Tea Parties attended by
189,000 people! The Tennessean has reported that we had 3,000 show up but the Metro Police estimate that 10,000 attended.

The main stream media and the White House will do everything to
discredit yesterday's success. Don't buy it ! Tea Party signs were home made...not the corporate produced and paid for signs that ACORN and the Left use at demonstrations. I believe July 4th is the next Tea Party date. Mark your calendars now!

I don't think you will have to wait until July 4th for your next tea party!
