But leave it to Janeane Garofalo & CNN’s Susan Roesgen to keep us divided
The Tea Party met in a large park where a few hundred sang the National Anthem, listened to a handful of speakers (including Ben Franklin) and marched to the next destination.
As the participants marched from one location to the next, a large copy of the Declaration of Independence was on display. Under the display was a paper, rolled up on both ends for expansion, where each person could sign his or her own name to state that they too would put their John Hancock down to state their belief in the document.
Upon leaving the park, people wondered how many others would show up. The path led through a wooded area and under the main road into the city. As they popped up around the bend, they could see another crowd already gathered at another park (see above). Adding to this group, their numbers increase.
More and more signs began to crop up above the crowd. Some with large messages and some with simple words that meant far more than could be expressed.
The march from this park went straight on to the capitol building. People could not get closer than the park which sits in front of the building. The street was blocked off as the people marched towards their destination. It was obvious that the numbers were increasing and it was hard to fathom just how many people were there while participating.
Arriving at the capitol building, people were surrounded by signs and others with like minded objections and a look of helplessness which seemed to slowly fade away as it became clear that they were not alone.
GUN CONTROL? HOW ABOUT CONGRESS CONTROL!!
People gathered together in the park and began singing patriotic songs as they waited for the sound system to be set up for the next small wave of speakers. They did not sing loudly… but reverently and almost with a hint of remorse as they worried where their country may be heading. Final total of those attending… 2,500+!
Perhaps politicians truly ARE alien invaders?
As the day progressed and the fellowship of the citizens was felt, a sense of self prophecy lingered in the air. Each person could continue with their lives as it was before this day or they could make this day the first day of a better tomorrow. Not an “easy” tomorrow… no… it will be a struggle.
We are Americans concerned about the way our government is spending our future into the toilet and by the lack of realism coming from our political leaders. I won’t get into all of the other things politicians are doing… but lets just say that when I see a sign that says “we surround them”, I am inspired to remember that THEY WORK FOR US… and it’s about time that some of them get fired.
Watching Roesgen’s meltdown was great- it was KILLING her that there was an obviously large movement against the policies of her beloved Obamessiah!
The Tea Parties were great- the msm seemed a little taken aback; obviously there are a lot more of ‘us’ than they previously thought.
