10,000 PATRIOTS IN NEW LENOX RALLY FOR LIMITED GOVERNMENT (NEW LENOX, IL) - The Tea Party Express - - www.TeaPartyExpress.org - - was joined by a crowd estimated at over 10,000 today at the New Lenox Tea Party Rally outside Chicago. The crowd size of this national cross-country tours rallies have grown considerably over the past few days as incredible momentum and enthusiasm builds. At Town Hall meetings earlier this year, it was said that the sleeping giant may have awakened, said Mark Williams, Vice Chair of the Tea Party Express. I think the tremendous crowds were seeing makes it abundantly clear that the American people are very much awake, and they are not happy. I hope Washington is listening, because We the People and are not sitting back while their country is sold out from under them. The Tea Party Express is on a 16-day, nearly 7,000-mile journey across the country with a caravan of vehicles holding tea party rallies in 34 cities across America. The Tea Party Express is advocating for less government spending, an end to the bailouts, lower taxes, opposition to government-run healthcare and opposition to the growth in the size and intrusiveness of government in general. Over the next few days, the Tea Party Express will stop in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and finally arrive Washington DC on 9/12. |
Justice is served ;-)
10,000!! WOW!!
Liberals waking up? I'm thinking God had a plan when he put Obama in office.....
Alas they're in for a big disappointment, regardless of which party is in the White House.
PING!
What a turnout!

Woo Hoo!
Wooo HOooooooO!!!!!! GO TEA PARTY EXPRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if the local media covered it!
GOD BLESS THE TEA PARTY PATRIOTS!!
May the Lord keep you safe in your travels, may He inspire your words of truth and may He continue to bless your rallies with HUGE CROWDS!!
NBC did, maybe others. Link to a very positive story and video was posted here last night.
I don't think he understands a crowd that is not paid to be there.
Here’s the link: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local-beat/tea-party-express-conservative-rally-joliet-new-lenox-57656987.html
One way to ensure coverage. Demonstrate in front of the TV station and make a lot of noise.
10,000! WOO HOO!
We'll be meeting the Tea Party Express in Hartford, Connecticut on Friday morning, and possibly again in Bridgeport, CT at 1:30 on Friday.
nutmeg & zelig
10000 against Obama in his own territory. 1000 for Obama in the heart of Boston. Change is definitely afoot.
It sounds like a challenge for remaining stops to garner larger crowds. Thanks a lot you uppity Patriots!
Here’s more Tea Party coverage at the Washington Times. Digg it up!

Press reports? Press reports? Anyone? Bueller?
Glad to see the big turnout, I've been distracted with moving homes so I haven't kept up with the tea party news...
Be weary people I have a feeling there is going to be trouble in DC. I hope not but don’t put anything past this crowd in the Crack house!

The first step in fixing a country that’s broke (in more ways than one) is to realize it’s broke. OK, we’re there, WE NOW REALIZE IT’S BROKE! Several trillion dollars of OUR tax money have been wasted on programs that simply don’t work. Thirty five Czars have been appointed by ZERO that have no accountability to anyone except ZERO. Now we are about to have our healthcare ripped out from under us and totally controlled by our Marxist ILLEGAL ‘president’ and his thugs. God Bless the people that came to this rally for they ARE America and they are ANGRY! If the GOP won’t help us take back our country, WE must do it ourselves! May God lead and guide us in that effort.
Amen, my friend!!!
“Be weary people I have a feeling there is going to be trouble in DC. I hope not but dont put anything past this crowd in the Crack house!”
I’ve been wondering if those on the “express” or who are attending on 9/12 have been checking opposition sites to see if there are plans for groups like ACORN, SEIU, AFL/CIO, etc. to show up that day. I imagine we had to take out some kind of permit to protest in DC...have any of them secured a permit as well?
Tea Party ads on DU? here’s a laugh!
Anyone in any prominent position using the phrase “tea bagger” should be called on it.
“Do you really think it appropriate to refer to Americans who disagree with you with a reference to a homosexual oral sex act? Do you senator?”
Update On Troy Michigan Tea Party Express:
This afternoon union thugs and Health Care supporters were invited to the same area from 1:00 to 3:00PM for their own rally that the Tea Party Express was coming to tonight. A friend of mine works in the area and went over at 1:30 and he called me to tell me there were about 30 to 40 people who showed up. Just 3-1/2 hours later when the Express rolled in the crowd was estimated at between 3 and 5 thousand.
I`ll be at Canton OH tomorrow,and I`m looking forward to meeting Jim Rob there.
10,000. That’s 2 of 5 people that live there.
Just to clarify, the libs: 30-40 total in attendance.
TPEers: 3,000-5,000 in attendance, yes?
As I just said, Fox News says between 8,000 and 10,000 in Troy tonight.
Several trillion dollars of OUR tax money have been wasted on programs that simply dont work.
Actually, it’s worse than that, Billions of dollars have
been sent to programs that enable socialist organizations
to circumvent our control over our way of life, if it were
to continue the future of freedom would be dark indeed.
We stand now or we fall and see our posterity in chains we
are forced to forge for ourselves.
a reference to a homosexual oral sex act?
As I understand it someone who has been “teabagged”
has been coarsely disrespected and is the butt of
endless rowdy jibes. Being physically touched on the
face by that part of the anatomy which is teabag like
while they were asleep. It is of course a homosexual
slur and insinuates the bagged as a homo.
The “Teabagger” counts coup.
That is just incredible! Thanks for the report! :-)
Looks like the union goons aren’t very happy to be astroturfing for Obamacare when it means their very good insurance will go flying out the window if it passes! Wonder how many crossed over to the other side and attended the TPE rally? ;-)
We’re leaving for Washington in the morning.....not worried about what those on the left have planned. Looking forward to gathering with like-minded Americans. Hope I get to meet Jim Rob too!
If you go to http://teapartypatriots.org/State/Illinois
and sign up with one the Illinois tea party groups, you’ll receive updated emails on all activities.
Forging on, I like it!! :-)
March a few steps for me and my babies, would you?
Their futures are at stake!
Fantastic!
It’ll be GRATE to see the two of you again!
The Patriots across this great country are taking this land back for the Constitution and our Constitutional Republic.
Move out of the way or get run over.
You see fella, both parties are going to be thrown out.
You'd think so wouldn't you?
We had a rally in a park across from the CNN building in Atlanta a few years ago, and they didn't cover it.
I grabbed the podium and mentioned that CNN wasn't covering our rally because they couldn't find it, and then pointed to their building across the street!
They say there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
No need to be “weary”, Washington, D.C.’s middle name is trouble.
The ones that are going to be “troubled” this time around are those that have abused the trust of the American People by not governing according to the Constitution.
Look out DC, trouble is coming your way in the form of a million or so citizen patriots telling you to fish or cut bait!
Look out America, we're taking you back to your ROOTS...The Constitution and the Republic as it was created!
The Republicans in Congress don't seem to care. I fear we are the brink of another American revolution.
Yes it was covered by the weekly paper: The New Lenox Patriot
