Philly Hosts a HealthCare TeaParty

Philadelphia joined in a nationwide protest of Obama’s proposed healthcare scheme by organizing a rally outside Sen. Bob Casey’s office.

Unfortunately, I could not attend this rally. My good buddy, NeoCon, was on the scene to capture the rally with his remarkable photo skills. You can view the entire collection HERE

Tea Party Update

FYI: Upon reflection, I have updated my Philly Tea Party count to 1500 participants. I purposely low-balled the number until I could get a better sense of the crowd size via photos and video.

My blogging buddy, Ed Driscoll, has put together a video review of the July 4th San Jose Tea Party. Ed has some serious green screening going in this video – check it out:

You can check out his blog, Ed Driscoll.com for more links of Tea Party coverage. Can we now call the Tea Party movement a ‘surge’?

Tea Party – Valley Forge, Pa

A hundred or so people gathered around the Arch in Valley Forge to continue the newly minted tradition of a “Tea Party”. One participant spoke on the difference between astroturfing, a technique perfected by dem activists and true grassroot activities, like the nationwide Tea Party:

The true magic of these rallies comes when ordinary citizens step up to the mike and speak from the heart:

In Case You Missed it on CNN

After Saturday’s successful Tea Party outside of Independence Hall, I had the opportunity to speak to an Air Force veteran who had much to say regarding the perception of the military by the left. It is the story not covered by the MSM and denied by those on the left.
