Tea Party Report. A cold wind didn't stop an estimated crowd of 400 to 500 people from gathering at Flat Branch Park for the Columbia, Missouri Tea party. The Tea party was organized by Morning Drive Host Tom Bradley and The Drive Host Gary Nolan from The Eagle 93.9FM and broadcast live for the entire two hours.
Dozens of signs voicing disgust over the total disregard of the spending spree by Democrats were displayed defiantly. One notable sign was held by a four year old Girl that said "I OWE WHAT??" Numerous other children with signs were interviewed. It is amazing the understanding they have about how unfair taxation will affect their future.
During the Tea party numerous people were interviewed by the hosts. Among the guest were representitives from the fairtax.org, libertarian party, US Representitive Blaine Leutkemyer office, plus numerous people from the crowd. Letters of protest were read to the crowd, motivating the crowd to chant "NO MORE STIMULUS" on several occasions. The letters were placed in a package that will be sent to Washington DC. Also the package will contain an estimated 100 pounds of tea bags to be re-distributed around Washington DC, leaving no socialist without. The event was concluded with a ceremonial dipping of tea bags in Flat Branch Creek by Co Host Tom Bradley.
The message was loud and clear. Missouri is very disappointed with our so called representitives and Senators in Washington. We aren't going to take it any more.
Remember when NOW would hold a rally of 30 or 40 people? How the press would angle the cameras and report it as a huge event? Guess that’s not happening here.
I saw at least two local tv rigs there. Wife said there was a short blurb at the 5pm news. Hopefully more at 6 and 10 news casts.
