Tea Parties were weak today 7/4

first person I had contact with greeted me with "Hey fellow 912er". Wrong and I squared him right away on that exposing Beck for hijacking our movement. He didn't like it too much but couldn't refute it.

And yeah it was weak, only 5 from our Meetup group showed to saturate the crowd (200+) with dvds plus fliers on 1207 and mon the 6th phone bomb to stop the Cap&Tax bill. Got to talk to quite a few people though and overall was worth driving there. Had a couple of responses that made my day and also made a couple of good contacts.

I attended my Tea Party in Las Vegas and saw the same thing you did.
Boobus Americanus waiving flags. The RP force was not there.

It is adults who give into peer pressure 'left' and 'right'.

Vince Lombari said, "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." In my opinion, financial dependence (debt) and relationship dependence makes people more cowardly than anything.

People who have no debt and owned your cars and house take less shit off of people...and they are less likely to just go along with the moron/bullies at work.

But the people who have the wit and power to dominate relationships (not just managers) are very slow to give into peer pressure.

And since most adults are in debt and have little personal power, they give into peer pressure a LOT to keep their jobs, to avoid being humiliated by some family member, friend, manager, or loud mouth on the job.

That is why I say we won't get anywhere until we empower ourselves economically, and more importantly, via wit. We need to invest a large amount of time 'shadow boxing' conversations, where you have debates in your head, rehearse answers, etc. Then practice, practice, practice in real life. And I don't mean to get in people's grill (but that make be a valid tactic), but to learn a variety of discussion tactics and learn when to use which tactic.

We have gone pretty much as far as we can with flyers and donations. Even in we get our own media, we can't get much further without some real debate skill improvement in our base.

was really good. There were a few thousand people there and the atmosphere was very positive. You could tell people genuinely enjoyed being there-it was a lot like a party. There were a lot of volunteers and everything was set up really nicely. There was face painting, pinatas, and local food vendors as well as live music and a great staging area. Me and a friend handed out a few hundred Freedom to Fascism DVDs and 99.9% of people were very receptive. I would suggest to get involved with your local Tea Party if you haven't yet. I have gotten to know a lot of really great people there and have been able to introduce them to things like 9/11 truth and Ron Paul as a result. Everyone there was against the federal reserve and big government too.

We need to get Tea Party Patriots discussing the Fed and monetary policy. Otherwise a defense of the free market really isn't complete.

that is all that matters. We can no longer hope for others to aid us in our fight. We can only now look at ourselves because the fight is on many fronts, and many faces. You can only pick a focus and go for it, because it has surrounded us, so let's hope that you converted even just one, that will hopefully convert many to the message of liberty. You did a great job, if it were not for you there would have been none. Keep up the great work, and watch your own back because there maybe noone to watch it for you for now. Be a leader, even if it means being by yourself.

For representing us few who get it.

I could not make mine--Had to work.

But you are right---The Neo-Cons are still dominating. They must love what Obama is doing in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

There just isn't any significant difference between the 2 parties anymore.

They are there for the $180,000 salary and nice free trips all over.

Good turn out, except for the church group that decided to pass out anti homosexual crap while holding confusing signs...

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” Plato

maybe 1-2 thousand people. But I passed out 3-400 copies of republic magazine. People loved it and were starved for info.

Our town has a 4th of July Celebration so many people were in our town of under 2,000 residents. However, I know many people were also camping with family or visiting relatives out of town.
I had people from 30 miles away drive there just to sign the petitions and go home. We were kept busy all day getting signatures at our table, and the most impressive fact is that we had to explain very little. These folks know about Audit the Fed and Cap and Trade!
Many people expressed their thanks to us for having the Tea Party.

showed up outside of Seattle,but it was a good bunch.I let them
all know that I was a Paul supporter and told them about Campaign For Liberty.2 said they wanted to join.My sign read-audit the Fed,support
HR1207.Most people knew about the bill and agreed.There were a lot of signs against Cap and Trade.

Many people celebrate with their families on this day. Some times it is not bad idea idea to forget where you for a day and remember where you came from so you can get energized.

Weatherford Texas well with my Ron Paul T shirt and my homemade Debra Medina for Texas Governor sign I headed down the road where the local junior college ,was having there little wingding .and in front of 300 to 400 people I stuck out like a sore thumb walking up and down the pavement..I got a very good responce of course there were some of the old guards who turned there nose up at me .But I must say I think we got a leg up on the RINOS when I didnt see one slick rick or bailot hutchinson sign.Well well are the neocons underestimating our girl?, I hope so..Anyway Mike Williams spoke and I must say I was impressed he is the railroad commissioner and he said all the right things {of course all Texas politicians say the right things its doin um is where problem comes in }.He is trying to take take hutchinsons place in the US senate .His campaign manager came right up to me and seeing I had a Ron Paul t-shirt and directly told me that alot of the Paulites were supporting Mike for senate.well of course that was news to me.Well then I made my plug asking if Mike was gonna support Debra and then he said well Rick Perry is the one whose endorsing him for Senate .Well just for SSSS and grins as Mike was leaving i aproached him and stuck my sign right in his face and said hey Mike are you gonna support Debra to which he immediatly replied "Pleaze Pleaze "and then took off like a west Texas jackrabbit.Oh well after the meeting I had many people come up to me who were very hungry to hear about Debra and told me they would look her up.And I got to know some of them very well to the point of exchanging e-mails.Folks we have a hard battle here in Texas where our little Davey girl is goin up against not one but two Neocon -giants..But if you guys will continue to keep um guessing in the online polls and throw in a few donations well go out and fighten um in the streets.

Way to much Bible and fox news pumping for my taste. The neocons have taking over the tea party movement and I only saw a little support for Paul and HR 1207. I gave a speech on the FED and got a good reception though. We just have to keep working. I did meet an American Free Press reporter who was extremely ron paul friendly - really on a ball.

Drove to Brookings, Oregon a town of about 20,000 and there was a pretty good turnout. Estimated 150 or more mostly older people.

3 or 4 very good speakers and another 3 to 6 speaking from their hearts, with compassion. One Ron Paul supporter brought up the topic of the Gold/Silver money we are supposed to be using.
Another held up a sign that had H.R. 1207 on one side and audit the FED on the other side. Lots of signs but I had the only Ron Paul Hope for America sign and Ron Paul hat which I stood up and waved wildly when the talk was about sound money and H.R. 1207.

My wife and I had the only END THE FED T-shirts. Constitutions were being handed out.

Criticism's: 1. The guy with the H.R. 1207 sign never mentioned Ron Paul and actually said the Fed was a good idea when it started,, I personally talked to him after the event.

2. The very good Ron Paul supporter also never mentioned Ron Paul, but I think it was because we were not supposed to talk about Republican/Democrat/ or name people holding office.

I should have talked but was too shy....darn.
Because not one person knew why the Gold/Silver clause was put into the Constitution !

I explained to a few news people that, that clause was put into the Constitution to put the;
"POWER OF MONEY" right into the hands of we the people and not into any central bank further explaining that before the Fed was formed all banks were privately held the same as any other private business, and yes they depended on local economic conditions to stay solvent.

How do you educate people that are addicted to T. V. propaganda???

From the shores of the Pacific Ocean......beesting.

The one we had in Victoria, TX on July 2nd went very well. Of course, We had some guy known as "Dr. No" speaking at ours.

Happy Independence Day!

I asked two people who are supposed freedom lovers in my town to help video tape me while I tape the constitution to the door of the courthouse, town hall and copshop, and they were afraid to do it. So I did what I always do, I went there alone and did it myself. I am sooooo down on my country today. I think I'm gonna just stay home and drink and do drugs or something tonight instead of going to the fireworks display. You can't wake up the dead! I know more are waking up but they still sit at home on their lazy butts and talk about stuff instead of actually doing something. One guy I was trying to help get elected to town council didn't want to go meet the citizens on Sunday because that's his Nascar day. I'm glad Dr. Paul has dedicated the last half of his life to the freedom cause. Maybe after we dig ourselves out from the rubble we'll learn something from all his great speeches

You Judge A Tree By It's Fruit, NOT its Flower

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

Don't know how big the Austin one was, since I am a little under the weather I could not go. Fortunately the humidity is only 30%. Usually it is 99 degrees with 70% humidity, which is kind of bad.

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Based on being elbowed out last time, by neo-cons, and loud mouthed politicians pretending they owned the idea.
Let's do something else.
