Take Back Congress – Independence Hall Tea Party
Flopping Aces ^ | 04-18-10 | Skye

Posted on 04/19/2010 9:50:25 AM PDT by Starman417

Do to work commitments, I was unable to attend a Tax Day Tea Party in Love Park. However, I had the opportunity cover a Tea Party on Saturday hosted by the Independence Hall Tea Party Association PAC. With Independence Hall as a backdrop, it was the perfect venue to host a 'Take Back Congress Tea Party'.

I have to admit I thoroughly enjoy covering Tea Party rallies, it is good for my activist soul. Also, I enjoy spending time with energized, like minded people. There is an energy infused in the Tea Party crowds that I've not seen at other political rallies.

These rallies are great place to meet up with local and national grassroot activists/bloggers. I was delighted to meet up with Lisa Mossie, contributing author at PaWatercooler. Her sign was one of my favorites from the rally:

Eric Odom and Steve Foley from Patriot Caucus were in attendance at this rally. I managed to video tape Eric's speech at the rally:

Mike Fitzpatrick PA-8 Congressional candidate and Joey Vento were happy to pose for photo.

Joey Vento's speech was his typical barn burning speech guaranteed to twist the knickers of any liberal in earshot of him.

Fitzpatrick (PA 8th) was asked if he would vote for repeal and he hedged.

Fitzpatrick’s a part of the problem, I lean towards Hoffman for the primary. Another good sign at the rally read: “Separation of state and media”

Christine O’Donnell, running for senate if Del., gave the best speech I thought. Young, attractive and conservative- we need people like her representing us. I’d urge Freepers to contribute to her camaign if they could.

Christine O’Donnell was incredible, lots of engery and enthusiasm and very much an optimist.

Wish we had her in the 8th.

It was cold on Saturday, but I didn’t care; had a great time. My patriot husband is holding the Philadelphia Who’s in your Wallet sign, I have the Repeal Congress, and While we’re at it, End Tax and Spend in Philly. Wanted to do this to make a statement about the middle class in Philadelphia. They can’t tax the rich, they’re all gone, so they tax us. These signs made the news at KYW, and hopefully, will get people thinking. Anyway, John Runyon, former Philadelphia Eagle, spoke, and he was really good. He’s running against Adler in New Jersey. A good time was had by all (except the infiltrators, they were not smiling).
