We are now a grass roots movement which continues to grow and spread. The People peacefully assembled to petition the government for redress of grievances on Saturday with the March on Washington and the 9/12 Tea Party. By doing so, we changed history. It was orderly, it was rational, far larger, more respresentative than what happened in 1968.
I was a small child in the summer of 1968 when my father took the family on a vacation to Gettysburg, Williamburg, VA and Washington, D.C.. In Washington, we ran right into the Left exercising their First Amendment rights. We could see it all from the top of the Washington Monument. One demonstration was going up one street and another going down another. Both had thousands of protesters. Neither demonstration were large enough to fill their respective street, far from it. There were also rallies in front of the Lincoln Monument, other monuments and at certain major cross streets. Contrary to the Media, the city was not flooded with demonstrators, only well placed knots of people helping to back up traffic. There were only tens of thousands of scruffy protesters attending these rallies. The Media, however, did their best to spread the misinformation. They concentrated on covering the disjointed groups, didn't look too closely at the shantytown of Resurrection City at the foot of the Washington Monument and along the Reflecting Pool and misrepresented the demonstrators as an example of massive public support for the new Left. By misrepresenting reality, the News Media were then able to change the world with a lie.
In contrast, one to two million people showed up in Washignton, D.C., a city of three quarters of a million people, for the 9/12 Tea Party and March. This figure did not include all the other people who showed up at local Tea Parties. Who knows how many will show up peacefully again to attend the three days of the Values Meetings next week? They will be more than the scruffy malcontents who showed up in 1968. Take your cameras and video cams and record everything you can then post on the internet from every possible vantage point.
At the same time, we need people to record the tantrums of the Left occuring in Pittsburgh during the G-20 meeting. We are anticipating tens of thousands here, possibly 40,000 lunatics. These are of the violent, scruffy type with the tendency to riot and throw more than a fit, so be careful. In Pittsburgh, safe vantage points for recording the mind numbed robots might include Mt. Washington and the North Side. Remember, no feeding the animals. In other words, don't confront the spoiled children and feed their rage, just record their antics if you can.
The momentum is now with us, so we can't rest on our accomplishments, but continue to push for re-instatement and protection of our rights through our own efforts. We are the New Press and the New Media and we will hold the News Media to task from now on.
