. . . to steal a phrase.
Note to self: when going to a photo-rific event, charge your batteries.
I got some great pictures, but my battery died before I got one of myself in my TANSTAAFL t-shirt. There were lots of people there, maybe a couple of thousand. We didn’t get there til almost 7 and several people were leaving, but it was still pretty packed.
It was a very orderly bunch, we’re such sedate protesters.
Lots of families and babies andSome of my favorite signs:
You’ll note the preponderance of children. Hey, what can I say. They’re cute and clever.
This guy’s sign was oddly small for the sentiment.
This gentleman’s sign was very well done, readable and clever.
This person should invest in a sharpie, but I like the slogan.
The best of the “stop printing money” signs.
You’re not alone! Also, this family had some very yummy looking sandwiches. Homeschoolers are always prepared. (Except for me, I didn’t have my kids so I forgot to be prepared.)
So now that they’ve happened, and happened big, will the media acknowledge the Tea Parties?
UPDATE: local CBS station puts attendance at Dallas Tea Party at almost 4,000.
UPDATE 2: Current tally of the Tea Parties nationwide is over 300,000.
