Nashville, TN Tea Party an Amazing Success … Music City Tea Party A Singing Success
Tea Parties … a huge success … this is just the beginning
Don’t let anyone in the media or on the LEFT tell you that there were hundreds of protectors in Music City … there were thousands.
The Nashville, TN “TEA PARTY” was nothing but a resounding success. All I can say is WOW!!! Thousands upon thousands turned out in downtown Nashville to let their voices be hears and heard they were. Luckily, I happened to be here on business today and was glad I was. Surrounded by a mass of humanity, there was a constant theme that the tax and spending must end. Tea Party goers are tired of the Obama socialist spending and the debt being incurred by our children and grandchildren.
War Memorial Plaza, right next to Legislative Plaza was packed with protesters. The streets were lines with sign waving protesters all with one message. The Obama spending must end. The bailouts must end. However, this was not just a message to Barack Obama. It was a shot across the bow to all politicians especially Republicans. Start acting responsible to “We the People”. As Phil Valantine, syndicated conservative talk show host on Nashville’s local radio station 97.7 WTN Supertalk and speaker at today’s rally … I hate socialism!!! He also said …
“The profile of an ex-Congressman is someone who went to Washington and voted for a bailout. The profile of an ex-Congressman is some body who is bailing out the auto industry as we speak.”
LET WE THE PEOPLE BE HEARD …
From other Tea Parties across America:
UPDATE I: So Barack Obama is not Aware of the Tea Parties, huh?
It is hard to believe that this informed President is not aware that there are Tea Parties going on in all 50 states across America. Of course for Barack, they are taking place in 57 states. One would suspect the White House is trying to trivialize the tea parties. As Marc Ambinder states the tea parties really are something.
But the tea parties really are something. Their origins — organic, programmatic, accidental or otherwise — don’t matter much anymore. If — and we’ll have to see the numbers at the end of the day — 100,000 Americans show up to protest their taxes, the onus to dismiss them as a nascent political force shifts to the Democrats. There’s no evidence that official Republican strategists connected with the Republican National Committee, John Boehner’s office or the NRSC had the insight to conceive of these events, much less to try and bigfoot the organizers.

April 15 Tax Day … Tea Party Day Across America … Let Yourself be Heard
As Americans are filing their taxes today, they are also filing in line to head off the TEA PARTIES across the United States as they have had enough. Tax Day has become a National Protest Day. There are a reported 300 Tea Parties in 50 states today to protest protest higher taxes and out of control government spending. It is “We the People” who are finally standing up and saying, ENOUGH!
There is no political party behind these rallies, no grand right-wing conspiracy, not even a 501(c) group like MoveOn.org.
So who’s behind the Tax Day tea parties? Ordinary folks who are using the power of the Internet to organize. For a number of years, techno-geeks have been organizing “flash crowds” — groups of people, coordinated by text or cellphone, who converge on a particular location and then do something silly, like the pillow fights that popped up in 50 cities earlier this month. This is part of a general phenomenon dubbed “Smart Mobs” by Howard Rheingold, author of a book by the same title, in which modern communications and social-networking technologies allow quick coordination among large numbers of people who don’t know each other.
As stated at Macsmind, the Tea Parties bring out the “heart of Conservative America.” The point of tea parties are not to be anti-Obama or anti-establishment to government. It is to remind America what made America. Our Founding Fathers and the brave patriots who fought a War of Independence from the English Crown and King did not do so in order to have an America one instead. What happened to fiscal responsibility in the United States? What happened to corporate and government responsibility? The answer cannot be for the government to just keep spending money, printing money and taxing Americans.
Make no mistake out it, the Tea Parties are a shot across the bow to politicians and especially so-called Republicans that the people will not tolerate the ridiculous increases in taxes to create a Socialist nation. The point of government is not supposed to make future generations pay for their sins. Some taxes are necessary; however, to just continually raise taxes and spend money in bailouts like druken sailors is never the answer.
Where will you be for Tea Party Day? This is a chance for “We the People” to make our voices heard. They will be held all 50 states across America in cities and towns alike. Go to TaxDayTeaParty.com and choose a state.

Reality Star? NBC Recruits Blagojevich for Show
Good grief, thanks Dana, as I was just reminded by this story and your commentary as to why I really do not watch TV anymore unless it is news related. If any judge gives Blago permission to leave the country after being indicted, they should be removed from the bench. What a mockery. Drop them into a jungle, huh? How about just into a snake pit, wouldn’t that be more fitting? That would be one time must see TV.
A network statement says 10 celebrities will be dropped into the Costa Rican jungle “to face challenges designed to test their skills in adapting to the wilderness.”
But Blagojevich’s legal problems could end the venture before it begins.
The ousted governor’s bond does not allow him to leave the United States.
An attorney close to his legal defense says Blagojevich is seeking permission from a judge to leave the country to appear on the show.
