Tea Party Protests

Yesterday over 250,000 people in over 800 locations across the country protested the high level of government spending and control in our lives.

Here is a brief sampling (I'm just listing a few headcounts - it would take too much time and space to list them all):

Chicago, IL 4,000 - 5,000
San Antonio, TX 10,000
St. Louis, MO 10,000
Columbus OH 3,500 - 5,000
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 2,000
Fort Worth, TX 4,000 - 5,000
Nashville, TN 10,000
Montpelier, VT 1,000
Denver, CO 5,000
Naples, FL 3,000
Lansing, MI 4,000
Gilbert, AZ 1,000
Colorado Springs, CO 2,500
Johnson County (KC area) 5,000
Liberty Memorial (KC) 5,000
Canton, OH 2,000

And on and on and on....if you want more information, go to taxdayteaparty.com or michellemalkin.com. What's really amazing is the number of small towns that had 200 or 300 or 500 people show up!!

I went to the one in Lee's Summit... and, while it was a great deal smaller than the one at Liberty Memorial, I was surprised to see as many people as I did. It was comforting to me because I was so worried that my family was one of the only ones that actually cared what happened!!! I was so frustrated with people here that I was about to give up on our country... but, after yesterday, I feel renewed in my want to get her back to what she should be!!!!

I thank God that people haven't gotten that lazy/stupid/IGNORANT. May he continue to help us open people's eyes and ears!!!
