Leftist demonstrations gave the participants a feeling of exhiliration and presence;

I don't know about that - they always look angry and bitter.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Great work, Jim!

Here we are at the Fresno TEA Party/Tax Revolt yesterday:

FriendAnn, Jim, JustAmy, Sheila.

I think this photo was taken by Mama_Bear. Signs by jkphoto. And that's their RV behind us.

[The Bass Player]

Went to the one in Pittsfield, about 1 to 200 people there, was awesome!! And they let me keep my sign too, lol.

[ravingnutter]

Yeah, I know...I was careful about my sign text because of that and didn’t put it on stick so it couldn’t be viewed as a “weapon”...even though I always carry my knife...custom made and just barely legal length...in my purse for protection ; ) I was really surprised to see the negative signs there at all. My sign said “Haste, Waste and Fear is NOT an Economic Policy”.

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!! Great job, Gabrial!!

[EdReform]

Great signs! I need to pick up one of those Gadsden flags. I have a Navy Jack that I fly, weather permitting.

[Jim Robinson]

I was real careful with my sign too. Didn’t want to sound like a rebellious right-wing extremist radical worthy of tyrannical government surveillance, so settled on simply exercising my first amendment rights instead.

[No Truce With Kings]

My sign was *very* negative. It showed a graph with the projected deficits. Above it were the words “unsustainable deficits.”

Can’t get much more negative than that. . .

And no — the LSM doesn’t give a rat’s patootie.

[CottonBall]

Your last pic is similar to my sign:

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!! Remember the Alamo!!

Received a message from some leftist a couple days ago saying we have to be kidding about the protests in San Antonio. He went on to say that the US should give Texas back to Mexico.

The first thing that popped into my brain was they’d have to take it from the Texicans first! Good luck with that!

[Munz]

Imagine this .. maybe even CNN will have to admit that it is happening.

I knew it was a massive event when i didnt see Chris Matthews on tv last night .. he must have been Ill to think his beloved Obama isn’t getting all the adulation he believes he deserves.

WOW!!! Way to be heard and seen, Freedom-Loving Hoosiers!!!!!

Although the local media would have us believe we only had around 2,000 attendees at the event (which would be correct if you were counting 2 hours before the event even started!), those trained in crowd control AND the IMPD estimated our rally had somewhere between 12,000 - 15,000 Peaceful Patriots!!!! In fact, the Capital Police remarked that they were amazed at how well behaved our crowd was!! AND, what’s more, our volunteers expected to spend a few hours after the event, picking up trash and cleaning the area, BUT, there was hardly ANY evidence that 15,000 people were just there!! We Patriots sure know how to party AND not make a mess!!!

Richard and I want to thank each one of you who braved the crowds, the parking, the chilly temps AND rearranged your schedules to be a part of the rally to have our voices heard together! We really were the ROARING LION!! I know most of you did not have the vantage point that we had and could not see the crowd fully, but I want to tell you I was moved to tears on a number of occasions yesterday as I looked out at the sea of faces, the signs, the red, white and blue, ....friends, we are most assuredly are NOT ALONE!

So now what? “What can I do to get involved?”, you ask. The first step is to make sure you stay in contact with the Indy Defenders of Liberty Meet-up Group. This will be the main “social group” site. There are currently LOTS of ways to be involved and get connected with other like-minded Hoosiers right in your area. Check out the message boards forum to get information on joining a Small Group. If there isn’t a Small Group started in your area, YOU start one!! It’s easy!! Just pick a date, a location and let me know and I’ll put it out on the site. Take that step! Be a leader in your own community!

Also, continue to stay-up-to-date on the tea party site (www.indianapolisteaparty.com). Now that the first “big event” is behind us, we will be working feverishly to improve the website to make sure everyone stays informed about the next steps in Reclaiming America! Want to volunteer or even take on a leadership role? Let me know! We will be having a leadership meeting as early as next week so that we can keep the fire burning!!

More importantly, don’t forget to check out the Independence Caucus website to learn what truly goes on in Washington and WHY our calls, letters and emails really don’t matter. As Frank Anderson, from the Independence Caucus said at the rally, you will find that there really isn’t a Republican party or a Democrat party. It has become and “Incumbent” party. Their website will show you why. Be prepared to be FURIOUS! www.icaucus.org

Again, on behalf of the over 100 Tea Party volunteers, THANK YOU Freedom-Loving Americans for joining us in having our voices heard. Let the non-representing representatives in Washington say, as Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said after his attack on Pearl Harbor, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

We are asleep no longer.

FREEDOM!!!

Bet he wouldn't say that in public down here...that might just get him shot, LOL!

Good thing we love Glenn Beck...you should have seen the reaction when he mispronounced Goliad ; )

Ted Nugent was just fantastically uplifting as usual.

I am looking forward to July 4th!

[Eye of Unk]

We need a common theme that respects our forefathers, our veterans and our loyal immigrants that built this country.

Pay it foreword? To protect a decent society for our children, or rather Americans 200 years from now?

[KSCITYBOY]

Greenville, SC is having it's Tea Party Friday downtown at the BiLow Center. I guess and say 5k will attend.

[Caribou]

November 2, 2010 is the biggest protest that we can have that will mean a lot and the lame stream media can’t do a thing about it.

[Dream Warrior]

Amen, let it be so!
