The day after millions of Americans gathered at thousands of locations across the country

By

"The day after millions of Americans gathered at thousands of locations across the country to voice their displeasure at this relentless transformation - millions shouting "Can you hear us now?" to our dear leaders in Washington -  we awoke to this headline: US Senate Climate Bill to be Unveiled April 26."-Adrian Murray

 

"The Tax Day Tea Partier's sophomore effort drew the largest crowd QuikTrip Park's ever hosted."

 

 In addition our President spends his Thursday using our Tax dollars to travel the country to do a little fund raising for the Democratic National Committee.

"Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he's cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters."You would think they'd be saying thank you," he said. At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, "Thank you!" The fundraiser was one of two Obama held after a speech at Cape Canaveral on his administration's space policy. The other was hosted by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, a $30,400-per-couple fete that stirred some controversy in the traditionally Republican Cuban-American community.

Together, the events raised $2.5 million for the Democratic National Committee."

 

Question, are there enough Americans ready to finally put boots on the ground and get to work taking our country back. First may I suggest that if you have not been involved start by contacting Lindsey Graham and Stopping Cap-and-Tax.

"A handful of senators will decide whether our economy is saddled with yet another ruinous overlay of federal command-and-control regulation and a new round of taxes, including Graham's push for higher gas taxes.  The Graham-Lieberman-Kerry bill will need 61 votes to get past cloture and to the floor.  As with Obamacare, if it passes the Senate count on the House just passing whatever is sent its way because of the looming rebuke in November.  Thus it has to be stopped now."

My next question is, as Americans are we mobilizing at the local level across this country? I say it is time to actually stop this far Left Liberal agenda that is being forced down our throats from this Administration and Congress.

 To add insult to injury the Judicial Branch is even hopping on the band wagon.

"A federal court in Wisconsin decided Thursday that the country's National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional because it calls on citizens to take part in religious activity." Read More here

 

What is the next step for the Tea Party Movement? I say the party is over, now let the work begin.

We need boots on the ground to walk door to door to get out the vote for November!!

 

"Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened." -Billy Graham

Hi Alice...I was intriqued by your title.  Because Adrian Murray said there were millions attending tea parties yesterday does not make it so.  Do you have anything to substantiate this figure which I would imagine to be inflated.  After all, he is an organizer and certainly a lot of time and free publicity by Fox should have brought out a crowd.  InsteadI think there was a disappointing number showing up.

Even if a few million showed up (I doubt that happened) what is that compared to the many more millions that would have no part of that movement?

Why shouldn't President Obama attend fund raisers for the Democratic Party?  Every other president going back decades, if not longer, has been doing exactly that.

Why such a different standard for President Obama?

Sean Hannity's plan to broadcast from a Cincinnati Tea Party rally were canceled late Thursday. Dr. Scott M. Lieberman/Associated Press Sean Hannity

Fox said Mr. Hannity returned to New York once it became apparent that the local Tea Party organizers were raising money based on his widely-promoted attendance at the rally.

"Fox News never agreed to allow the Cincinnati Tea Party organizers to use Sean Hannity's television program to profit from broadcasting his show from the event," said Bill Shine, Fox's executive vice president of programming

Interesting that the Cincinnati Tea Party can raise money by charging for tickets to have Hannity there (notice it was not his idea to move his show out of there) but the Democratic Party is not to do the same.  Fortunately it has President Obama and not Hannity.

Kate,

You can try and marginalize the Tea Party Movement all you want. I will warn you though you are sadly mistaken.

I attended an amazing event in Dallas.

God Bless America!!

Hi Alice...I'm not trying to marginalize it but perhaps some people are distorting the numbers by making it sound like there are many more than were actually there.

I don't know what you mean by warning me.  You still have not said how the "millions" were counted.  Plus I don't know why you are all so angry.

Kate, there were almost 1000 events around the country (I believe 950 was the stated number).  Many of those events had 10,000 people or more... and most of them had more than 1000... that would make it pretty easy for them to hit 1,000,000. 

Keep in mind that there are a lot of people that don't show up at the rallies that feel the same way.  There is a reason that the Democrats are so afraid of the Tea Party supporters. 

When you are ready to learn a little, check out Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals... 

Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families – more than seventy million people – whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right.

Obama learned well...  When you discover a little more about Alinsky, you'll find out what kind of change he was working toward. 

Obama is not the man that should be allowed to lead this country.

Hi Lane...I am very happy that President Obama is leading this country in the right direction.  I am a proud member of the voters that helped elect him. 

You seem to be insinuating something about what President Obama learned.  Why not be straightforward?  What kind of change do you think he is working towards?

We had three tea parties in our area and the one I attended had at least 11,500 people but they are saying it was probably more as not everyone went through the turn-styles.  It was an exciting evening and gave me hope!

Late last week. Geraldo ADMITTED he UNDER ESTIMATED the impact of the Tea Party movement and HE IS AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER...he says he suspects if the Dems underestimate them also, they will loose big time in Nov.....so let them continue to under report the #s and underestimate their voting impact!!!  Let Bill Clinton try to demonize the movement like the Oklahome City bomber and the more they DON'T GET IT, the BETTER for November.

I've given more $$$ in the last year to the GOP than in ALL the years of my former political life....and I'll give more!!!  VA GOP is ALREADY way up for $$$ contributions and they are funneling to REMOVE Tom Perriello who the Dems have already said they can afford to loose in Nov!!!

Fortunately for those of us who will clean up D.C., the libs demonstrate an almost unbelievable level of ignorance, and arrogance. It's comforting to know we're in a battle with the opposition shooting blanks.

I hope that President Obama continues to maginalize the tea party protestors, it just makes the movement stronger and the likellyhood of a second Obama term less and less likely.

Kate, Obama is a radical Socialist.  Saul Alinsky taught how to bring about socialism.  You might also Google Cloward & Piven.  Their theory (and they acually used it in New York City... effectively) was to overwhelm social systems in order to bring about change. 

The reason I insinuate them rather than give you all of the pieces is so that you can research things on your own.  You aren't going to believe me when I say it, but perhaps if you do your own research you will come to a better understanding of what is happening. 

You might also read Obama's book... Dreams of My Father.  He is quite open about his connections to socialist and communist student groups, and how he sought them out.  "Frank", one of his mentors in Hawaii was a prominent member of Chicago's communist communities prior to leaving Chicago for Hawaii.  In fact, many of Frank's old friends are still connected to Obama... 

But MSNBC isn't mentioning that...

Hi Everyone...Please, please, please run Palin/Bachman.  We would appreciate that very much.

Lane...I've been reading political material and followed politics probably before you were born.  I've seen too much and lived through too much to pay attention to false propaganda.  You may not believe what MSNBC reports but if you believe Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh I'd have to question your judgement.

Like me, I hope you're enjoying the resurgence of your stock portfolio.  Isn't it good to see the change in our economy?  Nothing like good old capitalism under President Obama.

Kate, I have been listening to Rush for 20 years now and he makes so much sense.  Have you ever REALLY listened to him?  I don't mean just for a few minutes; I mean for a month or so. 

My sister is a manufacturers representative and usually makes $150,000 to $200,000 a year.  She is not doing anything different (except working harder) and this last year made $50,000.  Manufacturing is getting killed with all this hope and change!

Hi Marchel...Years ago I listen to him for quite some time and could not believe the garbage he spewed.  I would not subject myself to his lies for five minutes now.  It amazes me that people actually believe the things he says. 

If you thing the manufacturing sector fell apart because of this "hope and change" you are sadly mistaken.  We have been losing manufacturing jobs overseas for years because everyone wants cheap prices. 

Thank goodness we now have hope and are seeing some change.  You can't please everyone all the time.  I certainly did not like the direction our country was going during the Bush/Cheney years what with the invasion of Iraq and the economy going down the drain...our surplus being squandered and a growing deficit that created a recession we are still, and will for some time, struggling to end.

Kate, I guess the true test of what the country feels is coming up in the fall! Personally I think you are going to see MORE of what happened in your state of Virginia and the states of Massachusetts and New Jersey.

Alice, I'm sorry if we have hijacked your post.

Thank you all for your comments and insight!!

Personally I believe those on the left will be very surprised by the power of the people. Knowledge is power and Americans are waking up, beginning to research and then forming their opinions. I thank God everyday that many are finding out like Lane who these people in power are and what their intentions are. America is Great and will stand strong once again because of people like you saw Marchel and people like I saw and met. Kate the below video is just for you.

Have a wonderfully blessed evening. Alice

Hi Alice...That's what elections are for.  Perhaps the Republicans will come out the winners in November.  If that is proof of the power of the people you would have to admit that the power of the people spoke as well on November 2008.  Some Americans woke up then and said enough of what we had.

Again, that is what elections are for...sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.  You have to learn to be less bitter when you lose.  My America is great enough and strong enough to survive all of the administrations we have had in the past, it will survive the current one (in spite of what some of you seem to think) and it will survive even if it changes once again.

Have a little faith.

Kate

P.S.  The video was not inlcuded but that's OK.  I've seen and read enough anti-Obama or anti-Democratic Party junk or pro-conservative propaganda.

Alice, Your angry mob looked a whole lot like our angry mob.  I posted a slide show of our angry mob; if you want to check it out.  I also have a flip vido of our State Senator Dan Patrick.  You can't make him out but the sound comes out good.
