November 2, 2010!
What about all the TEA people who are but can’t get to rallies?
Got to be bazillions more.
I agree with you. . . “The number of people who align their political leanings with the Tea Party mindset is enormous”. . . I attended a Tea Party and I would say that 50 or more of my friends wish they HAD attended. . . : )
It would be awesome if every one of them were to vote this year.
Aw, man-- in the old Colonization PC game I always had to get above 50% before I could declare independence! /nerd
FREEPERS WERE TEA PARTIERS BEFORE THERE WAS A TEA PARTY!
Oh you KNOW its true!
This is the same experience I have had... people at work, people I just happen to know, people I correspond with for other reasons - often surprise me with comments that reveal so much... comments opposing what is going on in D.C.
There is a huge movement of ‘mindset’ that is going on in America - A Tea Party Mindset... stand up for liberty, stand up for truth, stand up for the Constitution and much more...
After all there is a constant and consistent barrage of circulated email messages among friends, acquaintances, affinity groups and more -— and so many of them are spot on articles calling out Obama, Reid and Pelosi for their leftist progressive outrages...
Just an observation - Pelosi may be the most widely known Speaker of the House in 40-50 years among the American populace... And 99% of what is circulated by email message is Pelosi NEGATIVE
Agreed. I was at work all day on 4/15 and missed the rally at the NY Capitol. I went to the second one on Saturday the 17th. They should count those numbers also.
For every Tea Partier who made it to a protest, there are probably ten (or more) who couldn’t make it.
Is that an Arizona Diamondback on that flag?;~)
Someone should make up some Gadsden Flags with it on.
I went to one, representing 23 people, who because of age, distance, time etc were unable to attend.
And another million more who wished they could have been there. Had it been closer, almost everyone in our town would have attended.
Still, these are awesome numbers. Keep in mind that most of these Tea Parties are taking place on weekdays, because of the fixation with having them ON certain keystone days (9-12, Tax Day, July 4, etc.), so a lot of people who are sympathetic are working. I know that I didn’t go to any this year because of that issue, but I was definitely there in spirit.
I’m thinking that if the Tea Party groups have them on weekends that are NEARest to the keystone dates, they may get even greater numbers. I’m going to try to organise one here in my area for July 3, since the 4th is on a Sunday (which, among other things, wuld preclude me from participating in my own event). Having it on a Saturday will probably bring in greater crowds.
I have had the same experience with my emails. Even people who were Liberals now want to attend Tea Parties and send me the most aggressive anti-Obama, Pelosi, and Reid emails. I’m loving it! : )
Go for it Titus!
