Huntsville Tea Party

Saturday I had the great opportunity to represent the Huntsville Tea party at the Madison Street Festival. I think I did a good job, other than the fact that I forgot to bring the copies of the constitution with me =( I was able to talk to a lot of neat and wonderful people. and I was able to defend the Constitution, and even the LDS church. I met some people who could care less. and I got a lady who was in support of public health care to sign a petition to Parker Griffith in opposition to any public option. The thing is the petition clearly stated what it was at the top, and I had explained to her two or three times that is was against any public option. The lady who was wearing a big democrat sticker, had in her mind that it was a petition to keep public health care on the table until it passed. Really I did correct her very clearly, very simple words. and it was stated very clearly in very simple words at the top. She took the petition and signed it yaking away the whole time. I couldn't even get a word in, so I just watched her sign it. I guess bottom line, it was too plain and too simple, and democrats are just so used to twisting thing into things to mean things in opposite ways it was just too confusing that it was too simple Me standing there in front of the Huntsville Tea Party sing wearing a yellow shirt with a Don't tread on me snake selling The 5000 year leap asking people to sign a petition about Health Care.

Phil Williams, Les Phillip, & Mo Brooks all stopped by to say hi. I found out that Mo Brooks is no longer a member of the Sierra Club. But still after talking to both Mo Brooks and Les Phillip, I am still even more dedicated to Les Phillip and his campaign.

Over all there was a lot of positive public support, and we did get more people to sign up to get the Tea Party emails.
