Val (+1 guest)“ I enjoyed the event. I definitely want to get more involved and attend the next event. I didn't like the comments Perry made after the event about succeeding. I love Texas and am definitely for small government but I love the United States more. I say let's focus on winning the hearts and minds of the American people first and foremost! ” -
Roberta L Kendall (+3 guests)“ was very disappointed in the turn out. I feel like if we truly want to make our voices heard, we shouldn't have politicians talking. I brought a friend of mine who knows the constitution inside out, (he didn't want to go because he was uneasy at the fact this hadn't happened prior to this administration) and when McCaul spoke, he liked it but then he said, "well it sounds good because he knows there are Ron Paul supporters here, but what I want to know is how he voted on the patriot act" So, some of it I liked, but it felt like it was a party rally instead of an American outcry against taxes. Taxes are illegal. What the hell are we doing, and why are we so afraid to stand up for the Constitution? ” -
“ Thank you to everyone attending and supporting the Tea Parties today! Over 2000 showed at our 11:30 City Hall Rally and that is thrilling for us in Austin! Our speakers were awesome and right on target with the majority of America on out of control government! Please send an email off to Americans for Prosperity and let them know how they did....there link is on the sponsor page. Thank you to everyone who came out today on a work day, school day and the day taxes are due. Our voices will be the force that drives this movement of lowering taxes, repealing pork, limited government and driving out those that will not listen. One awesome rally accomplished.....next date July 4th! ”

John Sczerby (+1 guest)“ About 1,500 people attended. The option above wouldn't let me enter a number that high. Of course, not all of these folks are members of this meet up group. I heard folks shouting, "Secede!" I don't see how that thought is in keeping with the idea of the UNITED States of America. Do folks who favor secesion realize that our economy in Texas is codependent on the rest of the U.S.? And as soon as the U.S. began to break up we would all become easy pickings for other nations waiting like predators in the dark for just such an opportunity. All in all, however, I was very glad to see so many people come together, taking time off from work, to show their solidarity for the republic and for a return responsible leadership in a SMALLER government. Now, don't sit down and think that you're done, the problem will now solve itself. Apathy is exactly what got us into this debacle in the first place. ” -
“ It was a great day to be an American! I felt as though I finally had an outlet for all the frustration that has been living inside me. I do believe that this is the beginning of a new American Revolution!!!! Thank you all who worked so hard to bring this event about!!!! ” -
“ It was wonderful... full of enthusiastic people... very orderly... the even was very organized... the speeches were short and great... so nice to see such an orderly bunch of people with the same goals in mind... send a message to Washington!!! We left it as clean as we could... picked up a bit of trash but there wasn't much. Governor Perry was GREAT! I loved his enthusiasm... Thanks for organizing this event... loved it!!! ” -
Patrick Daylong (+4 guests)“ I seemed to be a well planed and managed event and the hundreds that I expected grew well past the numbers that the MSM thought would show. The biggest surprise and most encouraging thing to me was the two older hippy chicks that I talked to – I love hippy chicks – were very sorry that they had voted for Obama just because it was the fair thing to do to vote for a black guy. I called every TV station in Austin yesterday morning and not one of them had mentioned that the tea party was going to happen but they said that they were going to cover it. Asking them if they thought that their access to the public air waves made them responsible to tell people about such events before they happen got no response or a dial tone. Thanks to all for the start of a national movement that can help sanity regain the Congress if we work hard as a group. ” -
“ Excellent speakers, enthusiastic and passionate crowd; important message sent in a festive atmosphere ” -
“ Great experience! ”

Rk (+1 guest)“ This was an outstanding meetup Thanks ”

“ Very inspirational, I felt so uplifted after the that party I attended one that evening in Marble Falls. ”
-
Sue (+1 guest)“ My husband and I had a great time! We will be back July 4th! I would like to meet some of you next time. We were not sure we'd get to come, so I really didn't communicate that much. I promise to be more active. Sue Schut ”

“ It was a great day, full of hard working people standing up and saying no more! There was about 1500 people as best as I could tell. The box above only takes 3 digits so I am listing it here. I hope the movement continues I will always be attending just let me know where. ”
-
Dawn (+2 guests)“ It was great I just hope that we keep it up and we can make a difference before it is too late for America ”
