We need a mass march on Washington. It’s possible to ignore a few hundred or a few thousand 50 times over but it’s impossible to ignore 250,000 angry people on the national mall.

We need a central voice to organize that.

If we get one, let me know, and I’ll make the trip to DC.

"Multimillionaire jetsetter Nancy Pelosi scoffed that the Tea Party movement was nothing more than "Astroturf" politics."

Sounds like nancy pelosi has about as much empathy for the American people as Marie Antoinette did for the French citizens when they first took to the streets.

pelosi seriously needs to be voted out of there.

Im glad I didnt let the bad weather keep me away from the Philly rally. I’d feel like a fair weather patriot for not going.

Just let them continue to insult the people.

It will come at a cost.

[Think free or die]

Likewise - it was miserable but worth it.

Fat chance. She is a prime example of the disgusting politics displayed by Congresscritters from safe districts.

Queen Bee Pelosi claims the Tea Parties were funded by millionaires. I guess we 12,500 New Yorkers protesting at City Hall on Wednesday night will be getting our checks soon.

I attended the Tea Party in Panama City. I didn't really think it was advertised all that well. I only found out about it from a coworker who was helping to organize it.

I noticed that the GOP tried to jump on board a couple weeks ago and I sent them an e-mail saying that they were almost as bad as the Democrats.

I write my Congressman about three times a month to give him feedback on the issues. I usually get a prompt response when I agree with something he's done and I get ignored when I disagree.

Whichever political party pays attention to the complaints of the tea party participants will benefit. An astute politician (or political party) would study every picture he/she could find of tea party participants, categorize the homemade signs into groups (such as taxes, deficit spending, immigration, etc.) and attempt to discern the demographic groups that were present.

After that research is done, an issue platform could be designed to target toward the tea party crowd.

Of course, it would be nice if the party or politician actually believed in the issues on a personal basis, but that’s probably too much to ask in this day and age of symbolism over substance.

Just because that's how liberal arrange their protests doesn't mean that's how we do ours! Stop projecting Pelosi!
