Hi Patriots. Please meet Tina Sims, a true patriot living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Tina wrote me the following note.
“I started PICKET ACROSS AMERICA because I am scared. I am a 47 year old female, unemployed for a year and a half. I am so angry I feel like I'm screaming on the inside. I love this great country and feel an overwhelming desire to defend her. I am asking every American Citizen of all political parties to stop what they are doing at 9am on Sept 17th; step outside and hold a picket sign that reads, "CAN YOU HEAR US NOW." The idea is to line the streets of America.” 
Upon reading Tina's heartfelt note, I thought, “Her idea of patriots across America holding signs together is nice. However, the media will not cover our protest and it will not effect one bit of legislation in DC. So what would be the point? What difference will it make?”
Then I thought, “It will make a difference to Tina and other fellow patriots. Tina's fear and frustration represents the feelings of millions. By holding a sign outside 9am, Sept.17th, we are sending a message to each other that we are all in this together. We have each others backs in solidarity fighting to save our country.”
In that regard, PICKET ACROSS AMERICA is a brilliant idea; inexpensive and a minimal time investment while sending a powerful message of unity. I LOVE it! 
Tea party groups and organizations across America are responding to Tina's call to action. She has made it extremely easy to participate. All you need is a sign.
As I said, the media probably will not care. But, this is not about the media. And, it will not directly effect the craziness going on in Washington DC. PICKET ACROSS AMERICA is about us, We The People, taking a moment to say we support each other.
In my travels attending over 200 tea parties nationwide including Alaska, I am blown away by you, the American people; your love for our great country and willingness to do your part to save her. You're awesome and I love you.
So, I made a sign as Tina requested. September 17th at 9am, I am going to stand on the busiest intersection in my town and display it.
Patriots, please join us. Sign up for Tina's picket line on Facebook at PICKET ACROSS AMERICA.
Our ultimate goal is to end the tyrannous reign of Barack Hussein Obama in 2012. The Obama media is relentless in their efforts to discourage and dishearten us. Staying encouraged, diligent and united in our efforts is crucial to our victory.
Let's exhibit our solidarity. Let's PICKET ACROSS AMERICA.

Hate to tell you, dear, but they CAN’T hear us now. They didn’t even hear us in 2010.
I’m in. For Tina and the so many others like her. I’m one of the lucky ones still working...for who knows how long. The Tea Party is Americans in solidarity to ssave our country, reminds me of the Solidarity movement of Poland in the 80’s. I’ll stand with Americans on this one. God bless.
They hear you but you no longer matter. Pay your taxes and shut up.
Everyone of us needs to mail 1 cent to the White House!
By holding a sign outside 9am, Sept.17th, we are sending a message to each other that we are all in this together.
It's all about the peer support.
Okay. I’m in. It will be interesting to see how many of your neighbors give a darn.
