REFLECTIONS

Yesterday we went to the Tea Party held in Oceanside, CA.  There was quite a decent turnout.  We met in front of City Hall, then followed a dump truck loaded with (simulated) tea down to the beach to be dumped into the water. (For all you eco-libs out there – it was sand, not real tea.  No beaches were harmed in the making of this protest.)  Afterwards they took a group picture to be sent to Congress along with the petition we all signed.  Local news estimated attendance at around 2000 (http://tinyurl.com/c87n6t).

Here are a few pictures.

These young people want to know why their money is already being spent by the government.
