Tea Party

Because I had manned a booth at the county fair for the "Fair Tax" movement, I was asked to work setting up for the Tea Party to be held at The Landing in Jacksonville on April 15th. I did sign up to do it and awaited information on what would be needed and at what time. When the information arrived I found that it conflicted with work and I reluctantly told the people in charge I could not help. As it turned out, it was a great success with over 3,000 people showing up. I talked to a person that did go and he said he was surprised at all the signs. He had not made one, did not even think about it. He intends on making one when there will be an additional effort on July Fourth. We understand that next April 15th is already in the planning stage. People that pay taxes and think about where this Country is headed are alarmed. They recognize that the political system is not working the way it should. This Country has developed a political class that seems to do what it wants without regard to what the people want. Green Cove Springs also had a Tea Party and only 30 people showed up. I have recently been watching Glenn Beck who in now on the Fox channel. He talks like no other TV personality. He recently moved from MSNBC, no explanation has been offered as to why he moved. (Maybe more money.) If you do not like Limbaugh's arrogance, Coulter's biting wit, Ingram's whining voice, Hannity's superiority complex, O'Rielly's hostility, then watch Glenn Beck. What a refreshing attitude and exuberance he projects. He is now my favorite.
