TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

On my way to a Tea Party in a nearby town this last Saturday, I have to admit that I was skeptical; I didn't think anyone would show up. Maybe I am the only guy who cares enough about this irresponsible spending to do anything about it, I thought.

Boy was I wrong. We arrived 30 minutes early and there were already people congregating in the park - and they kept coming and coming. There were some great signs too:

- Give me back my money - you can keep the change!

- Dad, I'm sorry but I can't loan you the $1 Trillion

- Broke before my turn

- Obama lied, The economy died

- Needed - loving family to house GITMO terrorist

- Dump Dodd now!

Anyway, you get the message. The first thing the MC said was remarkable - " You are not alone!" 500 people ended up at the event, lining the streets and demonstrating. People blew their horns in support. Here in the liberal northeast, I only saw two dissenters.

Maybe I am not the only one who cares? Get involved people!
