Now I ask you the question, are we, or are we not, a force to be reckoned with? What are the liberals going to say about this one? I think we know.

To our so-called representatives in Washington: The Tea Party in growing faster than, the plague of Locus that swarmed Egypt in the Bible. Your party on Capitol Hill is over! Americans across this great country have awakened, and went to the open window and yelled with one resounding voice. “WE’RE MAD AS HELL AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE”. Our train is coming and if you are not on board, than you’re on the tracks. Remember when you go back to work in January, this will be the last year that you serve as our elected officials. Don’t let the door hit you in the rear, on your way out of Washington. Need I say more?

I would like to thank Frank Ross for the time he put in researching and compiling the data on the attendance of The Tea Party rallies. Frank has spent the last 9 months locating organizers for each, and every Tea Party that he could find. One by one, he emailed and called each one of them to get firsthand accounts of the attendee at the rallies. As of now, Frank still has over 2000 events that he has not been able to get actual numbers on. The four million count is actually much lower than it should be. If Frank Ross has not contacted your organization on your Tea Party rally, please contact us at robert.grassroots@gmail.com and we will put you in contact with him so he can get your information. Without Franks diligent work, this article would not have possible, Hats off to Frank.
