TEA Party Report
Apr. 16th, 2009 08:25 pmTerri and I ended up taking the day off from work to recover from our 25 hour trip to and from San Antonio. During which we did not eat; I forgot to mention that in the last post. Next to no sleep and a tiny breakfast is what we ran on for the day. More on why that was later.
Beneath the fake cut is a more detailed report complete with piccies and a short slide show at the end! :)
( The San Antonio Tea Party had 16,000 In Attendance!!! )
Click the Pic for a quick slideshow!
All in all, it was a very successful, very optimistic, and 98% bi-partisan protest. (There were a couple signs I didn't like, but we weren't required to agree with everything.)
Yes, I did meet some Dems and Libertarians and *gasp* even some black people! Some Hispanics and Native Americans, too! No, I didn't think to take their pictures to prove they were there; I didn't even think about it, to be honest. They're just people to me...
Anyway. The protest was successful in the manner of expressing ourselves and coming together. The media has been stifling the actual success with brutal bias, as was expected. There were over 2000 protests across the nation and many had not hundreds but thousands in attendance. But believe if you will that the media isn't biased; our goal isn't to persuade the media - it's to persuade Washington and to call you to peaceful arms. ;)
