Slide show from Atlanta Tea Party

Time has gotten away from me --- I have video from the Tea Party but haven't had a chance to move it to the computer, much less edit it all. So, I grabbed a bunch of the photos I took and put together a slide show. Nothing fancy.

That's not me in the photo, just thought it was cool. I may have to dress up for the July 4th Tea Party!

Here's the link if you'd like to see the photos:

FreedomWorks: City of Burleson Tries to Cancel Tea Party

BREAKING NEWS: The City of Burleson, Texas is trying to shut down a Tax Day Tea Party planned for April 15th!!

According to local organizers, unelected “street supervisor” Ray Gonzales, informed them that he was going to prevent the event from happening.

Mr. Gonzales told organizers that he is on a special events staff, which is under the city manager’s office in Burleson. Gonzales explained to one local organizer that the special events staff had decided this protest was “not in the public interest.” He is telling organizers that David Wynn, the city manager, is his boss, and could overturn this decision. For the record, the city manager’s office told local organizers that they do not need a permit to demonstrate in Burleson, and they are not saying that the organizers need one now.

I will post an update as soon as I get one from the local organizers, but I have been told that Mr. Gonzales is trying to get the Texas Department of Transportation to stop the tea party from happening.

Those who cherish liberty must stand with our friends in Burleson, Texas, and demand that the local government immediately drop all attempts to cancel the Burleson Tea Party.

Call and email them now!!!

Burleson Mayor Kenneth Shettermayor@burlesontx.com
Burleson City Manager David Wynnkmearns@burlesontx.com (817) 447-5400 x 234
Burleson City Councilcitycouncil@burlesontx.com

I can tell you that the people will show up anyway, but we need to send a message to the city of Burleson, just like we did in Cape Coral, Florida.
