    I just got back from our little Tea Party at the Court House here in Tampa. We had a really good crowd (guessing around 100-120).

    It was short notice here in Tampa, actually I was planning to drive to Orlando but I saw on Michelle Malkin’s site that Tampa was having one and we made it happen.

    Local TV was there and have to say at least we made a few people aware of the mad spending going on by the Feds.

    I attended the Tea Party at the end of the Santa Monica Pier this morning. I arrived at 9:25 AM and it went well past the 10:00 AM shutdown time.

    There were about 80 protesters from all walks of life. There was a gay blogger who had had enough with the spending and mortgage bailouts (log cabin?), a couple of lady’s in period costumes, bonnets and all, people wanting to get back on the gold standard and a guy pushing the recall of the Governator. There were plenty of protest signs and colorful costumes. One guy looked like a politician, but was fairly silent.

    Early on there was a noisy group protest for cameras and plenty of sloganeering.

    I counted at least 4 news groups with cameras and a major LA AM radio station.

    AM 640 KFI radio was interviewing many people, one who seemed to be railing against the current mayor and looked to be a Hispanic mayoral candidate himself?

    FOX NEWS Channel 11 was interviewing many people at length.

    NBC Television was there with a crew interviewing people.

    There were other video cameras in the crowd as well. I assume they were either stringers picking up shots to sell to news organizations across the US, or 1 or 2 documentary film makers. EVERYONE had a camera of some kind taking candid shots all over.

    PAT, were you there? I looked, but there were only a couple of grizzled shave-headed guys shouting slogans there and none seemed to be you.

    All in all, it seemed to be successful. I was sorry to see only 80 or so folks there, but they were all of like mind and if I did not have to leave at 10 I would have spent a great deal of time there collecting business cards and jawing.

    The San Diego Tea Party was a huge success. Estimats rage from 500 to 1000 Tea Party Members. National news media along with local news coverage. Took a ton of photos & video.

    It was an honor to speak to the folks here in San Diego at the S.D. Tea Party rally and also have the honor of throwing one of the two replica chests of tea into San Diego Bay.
    It was a great day as Never Lftbhndagn suggested there were lots of people, great patriotic people who have had enough. The folks were present and participating!
    My ancestors were in Boston in 1773 and in their memory and for our children, I am here for the nation today.
    Get on board the ship folks, start throwing some tea overboard! :beer:
