BTW, was a relatively small rally in a nearby town of only about 30,000 people. From years of counting crowds, I gave it a Q&D estimate of well over 600 gathered outside city hall, next to the police station. That was when we arrived just as it was scheduled to start. Folks kept dropping in and swelling the crowd behind us as the event went on. Closed with a prayer and “America the Beautiful”–could be heard for some distance, I imagine, as folks were really belting it out.

Went to the TEA party in Newton, North Carolina. There were a lot of people there. A LOT.

Attention Conservatives who are serious about reducing spending

Let’s cut the bloated military budget.
This year’s Pentagon budget runs about 500 billion dollars…that’s 20 times more than the entire military budget of China…a growing rival power with 3 times the population of the US.
Just the Pentagon’s cost overruns and waste would be enough to finance China’s entire military budget.

The only people who are attending these things are old, white people who are out of touch with America. They are attending because cosponsors Fox News told them to. They don’t even have a unified message. It isn’t about taxes because none of them who make under $250,000 a year will have their taxes increased. This shows the hypocrisy of the so called movement. They are pawns of the rich.

Hate to say it, but, have to miss the one in Raleigh. NHL Playoffs, Devils and Carolina Hurricanes at 730pm. Having the TP starting at 630pm was bad timing for Raleigh
