Richmond Tea Party ping.

Did you intend to meet by the statues of naked men dragging the master’s yacht with ropes? Apparently the whip is missing.

Very, very appropriate. Let’s hope it is not prophetic.

[iceskater]

Yep, that would be the one.

It might help us get in the right frame of mind to protest.

Let’s do an RTM next week or the week after so we can talk about next steps.

I’m bringing a sign that says “The tree of liberty needs to be refreshed...”

[iceskater]

Mine is going to say “$timulus $pending is government malpractice”.

Anyone have pictures from yesterday’s Tea Party? I forgot to bring my camera.

It was great. I’m really glad I went.
