It's hard to tell from the photos but there was a giant "angry mob." Even the local news channel (KGUN 9) estimated *1000 opponents* of deathcare!

Since they don't work, the advocates and their pre-printed/en masse signs had shown up earlier in the day, but no numbers given in the news, so must not have been very many.

We had tremendous support --- cars were honking non-stop and people hanging out of windows waving. Almost every person with a small business-labelled truck waved and honked, from plumbers to furniture company crews.

Ping!

Maybe some of our hard work to get her to talk to us paid off.... Her Highness scheduled three town hall meetings, finally..... The news about that broke last night, after this rally.

[Lakeshark]

Good work. None of the rattler family though.......

[Borax Queen]

Ignore the shark trying to divert the thread..... :0) LOL

Thanks MW!! You always have the best signs.

[Borax Queen]

Thank you! The only snakes yesterday were the ones hiding in the congressional office... IF they were even still at work..... When I called last Friday at 4 pm, only someone who knew nothing was left to answer phones.....

1000+ ,on a payday Friday, just after a thunderstorm. Way to go Tucson!

Great pics, nice to finally meet some other FReepers.

Hi BQ, this is great news, and thank you!

It's beyond comprehension how these unAmerican bozos keep getting elected to "represent" us, and then don't represent us at all. I look forward to hearing about the coming town hall meeting.

Great pics! Great Tea Party.

Pray for America

[Borax Queen]

You can hear all the horns honking in support of us.

About 180 pro-Deathcare, SEIU/Move-On types in the morning, with their pre-printed signs and promises of food....

I wish I could have been there. My temporary upper left front tooth came loose so I had to go to the dentist.... much too early for Halloween.

You guys did good... I went to Phoenix today for an executive party meeting; everyone is so impressed with the Tea Party and what it has accomplished.

[Borax Queen]

Awww, thank you, and hope you are doing ok, DL! One of these days I’ll run into you again... :0)

Looks like fun.

I’ll try to make the next one.
