As y'all know, countless citizens gathered the other day (500 in Chicago) to form local "tea parties" in protest of government's recent, egregious actions when dealing with the economy and wasting our tax dollars. However, most media outlets just ignored this massive movement across the nation.
I had the honor of speaking at the Chicago Tea Party, posted the speech, and also made a general video about the event I wanted to share with you.
Feel free to link this up to your own blog and share with friends. We have to keep the passion alive! More tea parties to come! -Joseph "Tex" Dozier www.twitter.com/JosephTexDozier www.texdozier.com

Chicago Tea Party Video Ping
Great Video!
Let’s keep the passion alive!
AWESOME!!
I mean it this time, have a great day!
Excellent! bumpity
No offense, but is there a way to remove the music from the video? I can’t understand the speakers because the music is playing too loud.
Perhaps, two videos: one with the music, one without?
Incredible
We’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it, anymoooooooooooooooore!!
I loved the video AND the music. Cranked it up : )
Certainly obamasama, botox Nancy and cry baby harry reid know these tea parties are going on why no comments??????
I heard a figure of 200 showed up. I would guess it more between 100 to 150. We got a lot of attention though!
Our state district senator came by and talked to us. He didn't even know the rally was planned. He happened to see it as he was driving by from another speaking event.
There are a lot of pissed off people out there, and I think there are going to be even more as Obama continues implementation of his socialist takeover of the United States.
I wished there was an organized effort to have these events in every small town in America and to have them adequately advertised in advance.
You must not have selected your state forum in your Account settings...most states have something at the header.
Excellent protest. Coherent and coordinated message. Model for others to follow.
See you all April 15th!
Start showing up with clubs, pitchforks, axes and maybe they might take notice. Until then the media and Obama will kindly ignore it all until all the protesters get bored and go away. They have no fear of us.
I don't what Obama is afraid of, and I don't much care. But we sure got a lot of car horns honking and thumbs up from people who agreed with our message.
Beats sitting home alone thinking the world is against you.
