Tea Party Express III

The Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out! Tour Join us for the biggest Tea Party Express national tour to date. Starting March 27, 2010 with a Mega Rally in Searchlight, NV (hometown to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid) we will take this message across the nation all the way to the White House in Washington, D.C. on April 15th: “You, the politicians in Washington, have failed We The People with your bailouts, out-of-control deficit spending, government takeovers of sectors of the economy, Cap & Trade, government-run health care, and higher taxes! If you thought we were just going to quietly go away, or that this tea party movement would be just a passing fad, you were mistaken. We’re taking our country back!”

Thought it was generally well done but a little too long. Did not think it appropriate to have DeSpirito give a speech at this event. This smacks of our aligning with the Republican party which I believe we are trying to avoid. Our becoming known as a bunch of Republicans or any other specific political party is a trap we should not expose ourselves to.

Great orderly group with a lot of enthusiasm but because of its length the crowd had thined to about half by the end.

I did make it, my first one, will try to attend more. Nice to be around like minded folks. I had lunch at the truck stop diner, by the on ramp to 690 this afternoon, a fellow sat down at the the counter next to me and we struck up a conversation, found out he was at the tea party also, we discussed the coverage in the Sub-Standard, which we thought was fair. as opposed to channel 10 (?) which had a kinda "dismissive" tone to it.

The more rallies that I attend the more my hope increases. It was a wonderful experience and I am so glad I attended. I met & spoke with some pretty nice people. They have the same values that I do. It is refreshing to be with like minded folks. We WILL stand together united and make the changes that are needed to bring America back to its founding principals. Thanks to all who attended.....I really needed the boost!!!

I was empowered by participating in this rally. Just wish more Patriots were able to join us. We need to get more publicity and round up more patriots who feel the same way we do. Joyce

The Tea Party Express experience was great as it was uplifting to be among so many good, caring, like-minded citizens who assembled for the common purpose of the betterment of our great country. I had lots of laughs as some of the signs were quite clever, and the people in attendance, despite what the fatuous morons in the media claim, displayed acute perspicuity in their knowlege of the important issues of these times. These good people, salt of the earth and, by extension, myself also, treat The Constitution as sacrosanct, as a set of rules which are indefeasible, not to be vitiated by the designs of that parlous cabal in Washington. A good time was had by all, in spite of the designs of the "counter protesters" who, once again, displayed their total lack of class and respect for ANYONE other then themselves by infiltrating themselves into our celebration, just to try to cause trouble, which was a typical tactic used by "the left".

This was my first meetup and it was better than expected. It was well run, and the people were outstanding!

My husband and I came armed with our home made signs and we thoroughly enjoyed our first Tea Party experience. I just thank all the organizers for these Tea Parties. They really give us a venue for addressing the deep concerns we have for our country. Everyone was friendly and polite and the speakers and entertainers were awesome. Thank you everyone for supporting this fantastic movement. Jim and Connie Offutt

The Tea Party Express III program was very uplifting and the crowd responded with enthusiasm. I felt like I wanted to get up and dance with them .It lasted over 2 hours. The ending was an emotional tribute to our troops

A great event! I brought my 21-year-old son, who has been fairly apolitical, and I believe he is now convinced of the importance and correctness of the Conservative cause. Yay!

I found the tea party express a bit contrived and a little to "slick". I like the message but I think the local rallies are better at reaching people.

This was an amazing experience, this was better than the party in Albany last year. I would like o thank Joanne, she is a true gem and her hard work is the reason we had such a rousing success at our Tea Party here in Syracuse.

Mr. Kemp,
I concur wholeheartedly, and will be standing together with you brother along with other like-minded Patriots to stand up for our freedoms. To quote John Paul Jones, " I have not yet begun to fight". I am looking forward to meeting with other concerned citizens. I will be bringing two fellow Patriots on April 12th; see you all there!
God Bless,
Dale Krause, Moravia

At dawn on April 19th, 235 years ago, our forefathers gathered at the bridges of Lexington & Concord to oppose an oppressive monarch. We are gathering together on April 12th for nearly an identical purpose-to voice opposition to an out of control "monarch" and his court trying to spend and tax our country into something we will no longer recognize. We have to resist this and take our country back.

I shall be bringing my video camera to wear and to use if needed to document any illwill physically displayed by another opposing group. In fact, it may be prudent to video taping our community meetups. Our effort is peaceable and strong. There are those opposed to our assembling who have already told lies about our peaceable efforts in exercising our constitutional rights.

Yes indeed keep an eye on Craigs list for any funny stuff they seem to like using that as a source to call to arms. Take Care

Thanks Don...We'll have our cameras at the ready! Forewarned is forearmed!

I pray it's a rouse, too, Don. I will be at the Syracuse event. I think a good idea would be to have our phones handy to record the good as well any bad that might flare up, to record the event.

My mother always told us kids not to give negativity an audience. I'll be there with my poster and a good attitude. And if any roudys try to spoil it with eggs and rotten tomatoes, I will have to "turn the other cheek," and let any videos display the truth!

I will be in Buffalo then following the Tea Party Express III cameras in hand. BE ADVISED there has been some adverse comments by the left to cause problems & to get in the face of the TEA Party movement in general and a Craigs list post for the Albany stated for the left to bring rotten eggs and rotten tomato's to Albany, I hope this is a rouse! Push for great turnout!

JUST DO SOMETHING!
