Hey...no stop over in Austin???
Not all of us here are liberals!!!
At least honk the horn when driving thru on IH-35!!!!
Once again, it sounds like San Antonio stepped up to the plate.
Thank you so much for stopping in the greatest city on the Planet.
Keep the rubber on the road, don't let anybody bite your fingers and Give 'em Hell!!
If I get any links or pictures, I'll pass 'em on up I-35 to you guys.
Once again, Thanks to you All.
Are they going to Dallas or Fort Worth? It is a big state. I once drove from Dallas to Waco which is pretty close on a map. Not so close by car.
What was the name the “writer” from Huff Po used in the article where he meant Jim Robinson but he got the name wrong? Typical lazy lib journalists.
Jim - I looked for you after the buses rolled in, but there were just so many people it was hard to move around and I had to get back to work right afterwards. Sorry I missed you, I guess you'll have to settle for a cyber hug! Besides, we were probably too sweaty at the rally to hug anyways, LOL! Enjoy the rest of your trip and give 'em hell in DC for me!
I believe you mean Jim Thompson.
He posted the same account as a comment to an Austin American Statesman article
Link:
"I am a proud veteran,,I swore a solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United Staes of America,,,Last week I attended, very peacefully, a town hall hosted by Cong Charles Gonzales in San Antonio. I watched and heard as the congressman belittled my constitution as an old piece of paper that was written more than 200 years ago,,,and holds no significant value for today’s times. His exact quote."
Gonzalez won with 72% of the vote in 2008, but that was a throw-out-the-republicans year, and I think this episode should be a campaign issue in 2010. It astounds me that we have so many traitors who are not even trying to conceal their ideologies, and yet they are still in office.

Griff Jenkens of Fox News was there. He snuck up on us from behind. I looked back and saw he was standing right next to me, interviewing several tea partygoers with a mike and camera crew.
I estimate there were between 500 and 1000 who showed up.
What website are you viewing these at? I can’t find anything. H E L P. Thanks. D.
It was great to see you &nd Sheila, and Chris. Sorry the weather was so hot. I think you were handling it better than some of the Texans there(me).
BTW, I didn’t even know there were any Move On folks there until I just watched the news. Figures they’d get their mugs interviewed since there were about seven of them. Hope you stopped for lunch someplace.
I looked for you. I don’t think me or my sign made the news. It was one of those “man” targets (wish my groups were better, but they were all kill shots), and it said “Quit targeting Taxpayers”. I didn’t really have any sign stuff, so got creative. Then I wrote, Bailouts, Cap & Trade, Cash 4 Clunkers over the target.
I seemed to be standing in the vicinity of where people were fainting from the heat. Lots of great folks there.
Sorry I missed you.
WOAI has a pretty good slideshow right next to their article. I saw Mrs JimRob. aka, Sheila in Pic number 8 and JimRob in Pic 19.

“Proud of you guys & gals” bump.
Great pictures!
It was a great turnout! They said more attended today than any other Waco tea party event. Many booths with candidates introducing themselves and people selling t-shirts, water, flags, etc. I noticed lots of senior citizens that probably wouldn't’t be out in 100 degree weather. Very concerned, energized crowd.
There were only 8 protesters!! (LOL-I counted!) The police made them keep their distance but of course the anchorette @ one local TV station interviewed them.
San Antonio had five whole protestors, who also got interviewed, at least on the local CBS station here. Figures.
Good Job, Waco!
About how big was the Waco crowd? I wanted to go, but the drive from Austin seemed a bit too much for today.
Woo hoo!! Just left Waco and are now on our way to Dallas! Great job Waco!! Must’ve bee two or three thousand patriots there. Great rally!!
Yeah - Jim Thompson. LOL!
Today we are all Jim Thompson. ;-)
I wonder if he is in the RV headed to DC. ;-)
