I am a creative professional who has spent a lot of time covering tea party protests and events as a citizen journalist. Unfortunately I have retreated from this in recent years, since the tea party has turned to quieter forms of political activism. I miss the protests but delight in the greater levels of political effectiveness we have enjoyed as a movement.

I still have fond memories of Rondog and his antics, but I left California many years ago. I am now a proud South Florida resident, soaking up the sun and the lack of any state income tax.
