We ARE a team - we are all passionate about retaining our freedom for ourselves and our families.
I DO agree that we must present a united front on THAT because, as everyone agrees, there are many fronts to fight.
I think that showing all of our complaints is part of our right to address the government with our grievances, but it can become dangerous if we allow the government to keep us divided. It's like the fore that keeps crackling, we want to put out them out before they have the chance to burn the house down... it requires all of us to unite with each other on all of the "sparks"...
Let's just not get so wrapped up in the sparks that we forget that we left the woodpile (our rights) right by the hearth!

I absolutely agree - the petitions are all fine and good, but take it further - innundate them with calls and emails - letters will be too slow.
Not sure who to write to?
Here is my website - www.getinvolvedamerica.info - nothing cute, nothing fancy - just the contact info for EVERY senator and representative in Washington (not to mention the contact info for every state). Still in progress, but the Senate section is complete and ready for you all to get the info you need.
THEN call all your friends and have them email...or call...or BOTH!

I was in Phoenix and was standing beside a black couple who were more fired up than I was - also, a lot of representation in the crowd of many people of colors - red, white and blue!

what about Memorial Day - the day we remember the patriots whose blood helped to watch the Tree of Liberty? If we can't stand with this brave group who fought and died for he founding fathers' principles...then who can we stand with?

 I think that the whole message is that we want our country back and that these brave individuals gave their lives to do that for us - I LIKE the idea of the colored water - we'd just have to make sure that it doesn't get construed as vandalism - maybe we could all wear red!

Hey - at least we got hundreds - when there was an anti-illegal immigration protest, there were about 200 people and the news reported that there were 50!

I think that it has to be sooner rather than later - maybe Memorial Day? We could commemorate the fact that the tree of Liberty is watered that day in remembrance of the patriots whose blood watered it to give us our freedom

I saw a lot of flags, not sure I saw yours - I was just so overwhelmed by the massive turnout! I know the CAP said 6,000, but I heard that the crowd was across the whole lawn and up the hill in Wesley Bolin Park. If that's true, the numbers had to be a lot higher - what did they estimate? 10,000?
We have to keep the momentum going - maybe Memorial Day? We don't want to wait until July 4th - with the attention span of Congress, and the nation - who'll even remember. But I did notice that there was nothing on the news - at least not that I saw... hope all that video hits YouTube soon!

Went to Phoenix Tea Party - we took OVER the front of the capitol building - according to the Capitol Police, there were 6,000 there by 5:30 and they kept coming and coming! What a great turnout for freedom!

Your post was eloquent and truly speaks to the real matter at hand.
It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and complain about how bad things are - although how anonymously is questionable at best - it's quite another to actually do something that could cost you your job, your family, or even worse...
Our founding fathers knew the price they might have to pay, but also knew that liberty does not come cheap. They risked everything to bring the United States into existence against the greatest superpower of their times. The United States has been called a superpower and we, like that small band of brave patriots, are standing up and saying "This is MY country - and I want it back!" Muskets are small potatoes to what we face today.
So, I agree with you and say to everyone on this site who happens to see my one, small post - Are you willing to give up EVERYTHING to bring this country back to the majestic beauty she once was and still can...no MUST...be? Are you willing to face opposition, threats, maybe even violence to restore your freedom and the freedom of your children? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to regain our country? If not, then PLEASE get out now - while you still can... you will not be judged or decried for this decision...but, once you MAKE that decision, know that you are not alone. No matter how bad it gets - you are not alone....
