Photos from the Lone Star Tea Party
This year’s April 15th tea party in Grand Prairie, TX was very well attended. I’m terrible at guessing crowd sizes so I won’t even try, but I took pictures of every clever sign I saw and ended up with over a hundred photos — and the only reason I didn’t take at least twenty more is because my camera battery ran out.
The award for “best sign of the day” has to go to this one:
I’ll have more photos up later once I’ve finished sorting through them all to pick out the best ones.
UPDATE: A few minutes later, as I was discussing this sign with a member of the press, a woman behind me said in a tone of sarcastic surprise, “You mean there are black people at a Tea Party?” I turned around to see who had spoken, and saw this woman:
These weren’t the only black people I saw there, but I didn’t take a picture of most of them because really, when you think about it, it shouldn’t matter what skin color someone has — it’s the content of their ideas that matters. (Dr. King would have been thrilled with the attitudes of the Tea Party attendees that I met yesterday). But since these two women had both made a point of their skin color, I snapped their photo.
My daughter and I saw the top couple, and we agree! The 2 were grinning ear to ear! Do you have a place were we could see more of the pictures? In my excitement to get there, I ran off without my camera. (My daughter’s sign said “Mr Obama, my I have my future back” and mine said “Congress, this is your landlord speaking!”)
Thx & God bless you!

Chatswood then listed on the forum of the group, “as Jeff Burrows and I am truly sorry for the way it was handled. As far as Jeff Burrows and myself were concerned, the group was taking a long break.
