Posted on by

Appleton Tea party highlights via Twitter (Thanks Steve!).

- crowd estimated at 3000+
- event started with an invocation
- a novel idea presented – every time politicians screw up send another tea bag
- Both parties have forgotten the low-tax legacy of their former leaders
- a sign at the event – “No public money for private failure”
- line of the night – “We’re mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!”
- “Kick him out chant” referring to Doyle led by ex-state treasurer Jack Voight
- “We’re living history” – a history teacher at the event
- “70% of returns with an AGI of over $250K from small businesses”
- stat of the day – 70% of 1040′s filed are small business
- “We’re losing in the global competition for jobs”
- scary thought – as bad as the proposed gas tax increase is it’s not the worst thing according to the chair of the local chamber of commerce
- Richard Parrins (President of BC Taxpayers alliance) – run and raise money
- History lesson time – The Brits spent selves dry prior to 1st Tea Party in 1773

Update #1 – BerryLaker has photos and commentary from the event.

Remember, it does not end today!. It is an endless battle we have to undertake. We need to take our country back! From Washington to your school board, you need to get involved! When they abuse our rights as citizens of this GREAT Country we need to tell them were mad as hell and were not going to take it anymore!

God Bless America.

But a question arises – what was the petition being signed?

  1. We’re so proud of our hometown, Appleton. We attended one in Port St Lucie, Florida today. Wonderful to see citizens band together and stand up for what is right. 3,000 Strong, side by side! Wish that we could have been with you!

  2. Wish I would have been able to make it too. But was there in spirit. Awesome turnout considering there was no pre-event mention by the media.

  4. I was there, 3,000 might be a little exagerated. I would estimate 1500. What ever the number, It was very encouraging to see people waking up from our long winters nap. The only scary thing is we are staring at a Socialist/Marxist regime that wants to control everything. The point is, none of this has anything to do with left/right, democrat/republican. It is about run away big Government clamping down on it’s citizens, stomping all over the Constitution as if it were not even there.

    I vote for the next Tea Party be held in Green Bay, and we alternate back and forth.

  5. It certainly is encouraging to see people waking up, the question is will the next step be taken? As for the next Tea Party I agree with Green Bay and alternating.
