Tea Party Express On The Move

I personally prefer Twining's Earl Grey.

Tomorrow is the day for Patriot/Founder's rallies and Tea Parties across the nation! We are expecting to fill the park tomorrow. There will be food vendors and quite an array of speakers.

stevenpd;

I my opinion there was only one Brand of Tea: TRUMPET; since it has been gone from the market (60's) I rarely if ever drink Tea.

Camac.

I drink green tea, iced but only occasionally.

From what I have heard on the radio, the local rally's are not likely to have a detrimental effect on the DC rally.

Crowd estimated at 1.2 (police) to 2 million people (ABC News) at the Washington Rally today.

Abcnews.com says 60,000 to 70,000 according to the DC metro fire department. Perhaps no one has an accurate figure.

I would tend to believe the police as they are experienced at those estimates in DC. I would expect them to under estimate a bit too.

The local crowd was between 3500 and 4500 in a community of 24000. Take out the kids in the community and it is a fairly high percentage. Over 100 of our people went to DC also.

At the Tea Parties I attended today, the talk in the crowds was about taxes and health care and opposed to both!

Tea Party gave him a new title. 'Parasite-in-chief'"

i attended the rally in Tally -- Tallahassee, Fl. It was pretty well attended, I estimate about 300, but I haven't seen the news yet, so I don't know if that was how many showed up. But I had a good time, the people were friendly, polite, and enthusiastic. And well behaved.

Local follow-up Tea Party Rally in Evansville, IN this Tuesday at the Civic Center. I'll be there.

Perhaps I should wear a kilt, and when the media comes by, why I'll say "Here is what I have to say to our leaders" and then moon 'em...

In watching the news last night, the DC rally appeared to be as big as or bigger than the "million man march." I am certain there will be counts taken from photographs and those used to determine an accurate count. I have done that type of photography before and it is easy to cut the crowd on a computer immage to put a complete panorama together and then count multiple known areas.

Special tripods are made specificlly to do this.

That # was a very early estimate as the crowd was forming for the march down Pennsyvannia Ave.

Here's a timelapse of a traffic camera of that area.



60 to 70 thousand people my a$$!

You lefties can continue to try and marginalize this movement, but it isn't going away no matter how much you wish.

It was reported in the print media that this was the biggest rally EVER organized in DC.

It is a growing movement of people of all political persuasions who do not want obama's change.
