Holy Image resizing, Batman. Iam sure it is a nice photo and all, but I won’t look at a pic I have to scroll all around my screen to see.

INDIANA
Hundreds gather in Porter County for Northwest Indiana Patriots event
Tea Party rally peaceful, yet ‘passionate’

VALPARAISO | The Porter County Courthouse square was awash in red, white and blue Wednesday afternoon as hundreds of Northwest Indiana Patriots members gathered for the second annual Tea Party rally.
Many members of the group waved signs and flags and wore patriotic clothing to show their support for limited government, fiscal responsibility and accountable representation. The event featured music by country singer John Berry and the posting of colors by veterans from South Haven American Legion Post 502.
“It’s good to see likeminded Americans joining together in a peaceful revolution,” Berry said. “Washington (D.C.) has awakened a sleeping giant.”
Valparaiso resident and NWI Patriots founder Faith Jones urged people to get out and vote in the May 4 primary.
“These tea parties, while they’re great, are not the answer,” Jones said. “You, me, we are the answer. We are stronger than we’ve ever been. Voting is the answer.”
Jones responded to critics of the Tea Party movement who say it is in danger of being taken over by racists and hatemongers.
“We’ve assembled 75 times, and there has not been one incident,” she said.
Highland resident and rally attendee Debbie Johnson agreed. She said she has been to six tea parties across the country including ones in Cincinnati and Indianapolis.
“I haven’t seen any inflammatory signs or heard bad language,” Johnson said.
“We’re (just) very passionate.”
She held a sign reading, “Stop taxation without representation.”
“Our liberties are being taken away from us,” she said. “They are taxing us, but they are not listening to what we’re telling them.”
South Haven resident Noah Back, a Vietnam veteran, also is seeking fair representation.
“Politicians are selling us down the river,” he said. “They’re getting rich, and we’re getting poor. They’ve got to remember we elected them. They’re going to see a change come November.”
Gary Kuzminski, of Valparaiso, came to the rally decked out in clothes and accessories from the Colonial Era, including a tri-corner hat, Revolutionary War replica rifle and powder horn.
“There’s too much government,” he said. “I believe in liberty, less government and more rights for the individual.”
