[Jim Robinson]

Congratulations FReepers and Patriots! According to Henchster's ongoing tallies, we've surpassed 750,000 participants in our nationwide Tax Day TEA Party/Tax Revolt! Woo hoo!! All 50 states fully engaged! Over 600 cities represented and reports still coming in! Huge turnout, huge SUCCESS!!

Elected officials take note: DO NOT TREAD ON ME!!

Tyranny, usurpation, corruption, overreaching, big spending, high taxing will no longer be tolerated!

We the people are FED-UP and we're not going to take it anymore!

Ignore us at your own peril! All Congressional seats, all elected offices throughout the land at risk!

Revolution is in the air!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh go to your room and stop pouting.

:)

[GOPJ]

Ol' Ben Franklin is a friendly soul. I guarantee that he will ve there whenever Jim Robinson is there.

When I see Ol' Ben Franklin, I'll tell YOU hi!

[Man50D]

The count of how many actual people attended tea parties across the country is tantamount to trying to figure out how many pages are in the federal income tax code. Both are so large it is impossible to get an accurate count.

[Jim Robinson]

You COULD have given the students the freedom of having that ONE CLASS as a study period or as a time off to go to the tea party.

I appreciate your attendance ... apparently you didn't have a class that day ... and there is VERY LITTLE that is more important than supporting ones country

"If you are NOT willing to sacrifice just ONE day of work for something this important then you ARE part of the problem ... IMO"

Opinion duly noted...

[He Rides A White Horse]

Just attended the Tea Party in Philadelphia. The air was electrifying. Young and old, people of all stripes. I was talking to a vet and he was extremely angry with the HS profile. Didn’t get his name, but “I’ll keep my boots on the ground” as he advised. This could develop into a full-blown addiction.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

That was a great video. I am going to show it to my husband. Very clear explanation. It explains a lot about the trend of politics in Europe especially.

[budwiesest]

I'm self-employed, can't call in sick. I've played music for a N. Cal chapter of ECV before. Boy, you guys sure know how to get drunk. Downeyville, anyone?

[littlehouse36]

Great job, everyone. I did want to make a comment about the rally in Atlanta.

I was in the streets with many Libertarians & Independents who expressed disappointment that the TEA Party had become an all-purpose right wing rally. Just a reminder to keep the focus on economics I think it’s a huge mistake to make this thing partisan.
