I would have loved to have come to the “party” Please try to publicize it better. I will watch this site for the next time.

Thanks

I would like to thank the Ron Paul meetup, the Glenn Beck meetup, Rochester Conservative, RochesterWatch, and this site for the great effort and successful protest.

I’m not the one to do it but could someone call Lonsberrys radio show and let him know that both groups were there at the convention center. It would be a good message for all to hear

The leftist “Fair Share” people were active in the convention center lobby and just outside. Space was cramped with news vehicles and, presumably, politicians’ cars parked on the sidewalk.

I worked too late to come but I did hear on Lonsberry that there was a group of picketers outside the convention center . It didn”t sound like he was describing the tea party group but actually a group that was picketting contrary.

Is there anybody coming from the Brockport area that could give a fellow Tea Partier a rid to the rally?

Gail and Wrella,

I’m so sorry that I didn’t get back to you last evening! I was busy making my own signs and didn’t get done until late and went to bed without checking online. I know it’s probably too late for you all, but here’s some suggestions for signs:

Colonel Riley suggested these:

I want America Back”

“America is Being Stolen”

“Defeat Socialism – Communisn-lite”

A person that participates in my blog suggested these:

—————————————————-

- Higher Federal Income Taxes
- Higher State Income Taxes
- New “Carbon” Taxes
- Higher Property Taxes
- New State Sales Taxes

Where Will It End?

Here! Now!

—————————————————-

Stop the war against taxpayers!

—————————————————-

Honk if you’re NOT stimulated

—————————————————-

Gov. Dave, stop fleecing New Yorkers for the CSEA/ NYSUT!

—————————————————-

Government health care = rationed health care

—————————————————-

More government spending = rewarding failure and sacrificing liberty

—————————————————-

If YOU want all this government spending, how about YOU pay for it!

—————————————————-

I hope this helps and I apologize for not getting this posted until now.

Don’t tax me, bro!
Repeal, resign or be replaced.

Chant of :No new taxes no new fees, (then add) high taxes and we will flee

Make some suggestions for signs? We’ll be there – what would be the best (hastily made) signs?

By: Gail

Gail — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:31:31 +0000

I want to make a few small signs tonight. Any suggestions on short and to the point phrases.

By: rochester_veteran

rochester_veteran — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:52:35 +0000

Suggestions for chants and cheers would be greatly appreciated. I’ve got a few:

No New Taxes, No New Fees! (repeated over and over)

New York State, the Land of Taxes! (repeated over and over)

Feel free to post more suggestions, once the rally gets going, we want to be loud and enthusiastic!

Well, at least it’s not supposed to be raining during the Rochester Tea Party tomorrow (3/11), but it will be windy. The Lawyers Co-Op Park is sheltered on two sides by buildings and I’m hoping they shield us from the wind.

Are you all making signs. I’m making two this evening.One of our speakers had to back out and I’ll try to pick up the slack at the beginning of the rally. Another guy is bringing an 10 watt electronic megaphone which will hopefully be sufficient for this event. Don’t forget to bring some tea, but a person on my blog suggested opening the tea bags and just dumping the tea into the River.

Again, I’ll be getting there around 4:30pm to claim the park and greet people as they arrive. The rally starts at 5pm. I’m getting psyched about this, folks and it feels like the night before a football game!
