Idaho Falls tea party

Back in 1980, my brother Marcel and I decided to go into business doing what we knew best, Concrete work!
After a couple of years of Jimmy Carter and all of the other government regulations, taxes and other shenanegans we were not able to continue that effort. during that period we were able to spend considerable time discussing the current gov't policies and how they were affecting us. We decided that the 'R' party was most in line with our thinking at the time but we could see lots of chinks in that armor even then. Since that time both parties have continued to oppress and our representatives have become more self serving and less responsive to their constituents as I see it.
It seems to me that it is past time that we organize to let them know that we are not happy with the current thinking in Washington. I was thrilled that someone finally organized a tea party to let them know to wake up. I was really thrilled when the idea started to spread beyond Boston! I was more than really thrilled when I found out that there were going to be tea parties in Idaho Falls and Pocatello.
I took time off from work, picked up Geritt and we went to the party. It was raining practically the whole time but we hardly noticed. Mel Richardson spoke elegantly for a while and then invited people out of the audience to 'bear their testimonies' so-to-speak. Their was a politician that tried to speak but he got out of bounds and was shouted down, there was a Democrat that said he loved his country but was losing it to spending, there was a teen ager who is afraid that she will be in bondage to the gov't for the rest of her life and then the veterans who nearly brought tears. It was great, I'm glad we went. Jim is in Boise on some school boondogle so she wasn't able to go with me.
