A please and thank you mob.

I spoke at the Crystal River Tea Party (9-12-09) and have to say I was so pleased by the type of people that showed.
People of all ages showed, people of all financial status showed (O.K. Bill Gates never made it), the one thing about this group that would be called a mob by is that everyone said please and thank you.
This group of Tea Party supporters is indicative of the average American. Food was brought to the event by individuals in support of individuals in need, support by individuals not the government is what many of the Tea Party thinks and wants.
They stayed in the rain to hear people speak, they never booed or complained. None of the speakers or supporters asked for the government to give them anything. Unlike those in opposition who showed up holding signs (very nice mass produced signs, wonder who is getting support and who is the grassroots) that asked for big business to pay their fair share. The opposition who wants the government to use its ability to take from us, by making it sound like big business will just pay more in taxes, when the truth is that business’ just get more out of our pocket and pass it to government.
The people at the Tea Party stand for freedom and they support the individual as the answer, not the collective of government.
The Tea Party supporters know that many have sat still too long, while our freedoms are slowly being suppressed. The average American who makes up the Tea Party are now awake and ready to step up and be heard, the march on Washington was a call to end the expansion of government. This march was a protest march that was in a size not seen before and even thought they packed the streets you don’t hear stories about rowdy protesters, passionate statements but no violence. See what happens when a pro-America, freedom loving mob gets together, it becomes a please and thank you mob!
A special thanks to Edna, great job!
