Fantastic List, JimRob! I guess I’m kinda partial to the Fayetteville, NC effort, as it’s the site of the first meeting of the signers of the Declaration of Independence...and all that entails! Again, great find, your research and dedication have helped keep open the door to the ‘beacon of freedom’ that some see flickering!

Thank you so much for compiling this.

This thread is a fantastic repudiation to all the naysayers on FR who tried to dampen enthusiasm & suppress Tea Party turnout last week by saying it was a lame idea & a total waste of time which would be ignored by the press.

Tea Party Friday was a textbook example of how grass roots efforts are supposed to work: start small, get people talking & gradually trickle upward in the public consciousness.

I just did another of those linked webpages with the USMC theme and posted it a few minutes ago -

The RNC and McCain just could not come up with campaign webpages or short TV ads like that - I always wonder what they spend those mega-millions of campaign cash on -
