July 4 2009 Traverse City Tea Party

Traverse City couldn’t have had better weather for a Tea Party.  With about 300-350 in attendance, spirits were high. After a few speakers, the event broke into smaller groups occupying several areas to draw attention from passers by in traffic.  Because of the Cherry Festival Starting today, Traverse City had no shortage of Vehicles and probably 10-15,000 folks were able to see the original signs and messages the Tea Partiers presented.

Plenty of the next Generation on hand for TC MICH party

Good crowd in Traverse City

While we wait for pictures to show up for other tea parties, ill put up a couple from TC Michigan.  As an aside, if you want to check out the LANSING Tea party which reports over 1000 attendees, or Perhaps the DALLAS tea party you may be able to pick up on Michelle Malkin’s Live feed

Singing a Tea Party Ditty.. Sounded pretty good too!

Speaking of Road work..

Some of the Crowd moved into position occupying a 500′ stretch of the road.  Passers by honked with approval and thumbs up!

Some people get it.

Some folks have a clear understanding of what Cap & Trade means to Michigan and the US..

The next shot is me.. looking up from the hood of an SUV.

A decent shot of a few protesters lined up along the road.
