Here are mine from Sacramento. Good turn out. Good time. Worn my Ron Paul for president polo and got a few people liking the shirt. All in all I'd say it was dead on. Not too much Obama bashing nor democratic bashing. Just government bashing.

It was great.

It was fairly non-partisan and everyone seemed to be getting along great.

Also I was on Neil Cavuto at the very end, standing right next to him with my giant "AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE!" poster someone gave me. If anyone has the full video of his broadcast, or at least the end, let me know.

I don't really like him but I had him sign my poster and told him to keep Ron Paul appearing on his show. He just looked at me kinda funny and said "thank you". lol.

did you have headphones on

I saw a guy with a audit the fed poster and I nodded at him. I ran into other fellow Ron Paulians out there. The Polo Ron Paul for President shirt was popular. Alot of people would say behind my back " Hey look, Ron Paul for president." One guy asked where he could get one of my shirts. I didn't know for I got it from the 25 dollar give away thing.

Yes, that was me with the

Yes, that was me with the headphones on. I couldn't stand listening to the jackasses on stage so I had to tune myself out. A lot of people were giving me nods, I think about half the people there were Ron Paulites.

I will continue to protest

I will continue to protest by continuing to pay myself first. I will not spend on anything I do not need.

But I can let her play both sides of the field.
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is sometimes an ally.
That or shes just getting paid to flip her words.
Still I can never forgive her for her hatred for Ron Paul.

Didn't get me :(

Was your face painted?

I ended up on Rachel Maddow’s show on April 9, I believe. This is from the last protest in February, but it just aired. You can see the video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jfGsvk40A and I pop up around 3:20 screaming, “Who wants to print some money?!?!! I want to print some money. The Federal Reserve can, why can’t I!!?!?!?!” It is quite funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jfGsvk40A

She mocked me a bit and I would surely love the opportunity for her to have me on a telephone interview. She was questioning why would people actually question the Federal Reserve? I mean the insanity!

If you feel like bugging Rachel one day to perhaps let her have an average citizen explain why the Federal Reserve is important issue to the every day American, please feel free to email her about the “Who wants to print some money” guy. She can be reached at Rachel@msnb.com.

For today's second Tea Party - Cleveland, OH

Cleveland, OH –

I have a professional 4’ x 5’ sign with Ben Bernanke on the front. I found the sign on DailyPaul. It called for the Audit of the Federal Reserve with the statement of “The last official act of a government is to loot the public treasury.”

It would gather looks like I couldn’t believe. I had 150 C4L audit the fed pamphlets, had a speech prepared regarding the Federal Reserve that lasted 30 seconds. People would come up to me and ask for a picture with the sign with their children, parents, and friends. I passed out every single one of the pamphlets I had.

When someone would ask to take a picture with the sign I would let them, but only under one condition. That condition was to just listen to me for 30 seconds after the picture. They would take the picture and I would launch into my speech along with C4L handouts. When I would start my speech, the ones around me would stop listening to the speakers and would gather around me to hear what I had to say.

Shortly after talking, dozens of hands would appear grabbing for the flyer. I blew through the flyers within 15 minutes and people of all ages and races and political backgrounds would thank me and tell me to never stop what I am doing.

Thankfully I ran across, completely by chance, about 20 different C4L members in the crowd and End the Fed signs galore. One of the fellow liberty members had extra flyers for HR 1207. I believe I was given an additional 100 and those were passed out within 30 minutes.

Of course, when I ran out of signs, I would have people snap pictures and I would still ask for 30 seconds of their time. So they had the HR 1207 picture to refer to.

Hell, I even ran across and old high school teacher of mine over 12 years ago. He will never forget what he learned today as he knew of nothing about the Federal Reserve.

In liberty,

Tim Gandee

Awesome day for you TimG!!

One website said they had 2,500 plus registered attendees and I believe that to be an underestimate. Here is a clip from one local station that was ended the clip by saying this was all anti-Obama and we all know the truth there.

They took off that clip, but here is the station - http://www.wkyc.com/
So much suppression it is expected I guess.

Just got back from our small "tea party" in NJ, braving a small nor'easter as we dumped iced tea into the harbor! All in all we had a great turnout (about 75 liberty seeking folks), and lots of decent information was given out. In Liberty for all.
