HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS FLOCK TO AN ESTIMATED 2,000 EVENTS NATIONWIDE!
Americans, particularly of the conservative persuasion, flocked in droves to Tax Day tea party protests in communities large and small Wednesday to show opposition to a rapidly bloating government and outrageously high taxes. It is yet unclear just how many in total turned out across the country, or what the full impact will be. However, Democrats still are underestimating just how angry Americans are over the overgrown size of Washington and its tentacles. Wednesday very likely was a history-making day for our great country.
HOWEVER, IT MUST NOT END TODAY. WE NEED TO CONTINUE THESE TEA PARTIES TO KEEP THE MESSAGE AND OPPOSITION TO OVERGROWN GOVERNMENT FRESH. THIS MUST NOT BE A ONE-DAY EVENT ONLY JUST TO BLOW OFF STEAM! LET'S KEEP THE TRAIN MOVING!

I was at the Cookeville Tea Party. I was surprised by the turnout. Nice to know we're not alone.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures.
Mickey, you sure have a bone to pick with Marsha Blackburn. You keep repeating yourself like a broken record with your stuff on her you keep blasting on this blog I run. Why don't you find something more constructive to do!
