Well done! <br /><br />My husband and I took our 8 and 13 year-old girls to the Tea Party at our State Capitol. We had a very similar experience! It was lovely and inspiring.

We got to pray, say the Pledge, sing the national anthem and God Bless American. And there was no hatefulness or viciousness, just people who care about what's happening to their country. One of my favorite parts was when they acknowledged there were local politicians in the crowd, but they didn't invite them to speak! They actually listened for a change!Ranellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671494684643473708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-72399956081512817122009-04-16T18:37:00.000-05:002009-04-16T18:37:00.000-05:00Preach on, Sister!Preach on, Sister!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264845015930907294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-39862227031856453632009-04-16T17:10:00.000-05:002009-04-16T17:10:00.000-05:00I sure hope this is not the end of our voices bein...I sure hope this is not the end of our voices being heard. We need to pray that someone will organize this and get something more started. I didn't get to go to the local rally, did send my two tea tags to the White House...not tea bags as they wouldn't have let that go thru the mail. You said everything correctly...the main stream wants us to be quiet and will not tell the truth....thanks for telling the truth.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828003644053286026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-79428098880736028942009-04-16T17:04:00.000-05:002009-04-16T17:04:00.000-05:00Very cool.
