Milwaukee Tea Party 9/19/09 at Veterans Park

"Joe The Plumber" talked in Milwaukee at Veterans Park where there was a "Tea Party" gathering. About 4,000 to 5,000 people attended. Darn good for a very limited amount of before hand exposure of the schedule event. No major media gave any before hand announcement of this upcoming gathering. I did see channel 4 (FOX) and channel 58 (CBS) broadcast vans on the site. I did see black people attending and supporting the event. I did see Latino, Hispanic, and black people give presentations of support to "Call Out" all politicians (Democrats and Republicans) regarding their corruption in office. This is definitely not a gathering of racists or troublemakers. This was a gathering of well-organized people calling out all politicians to stop the corruption in office and to stop the fraud in government programs. Obama said he would cut out all programs that were not working and the wasteful government programs... It's not happening and only more irresponsible spending programs are being proposed while The United States economy continues to loss jobs.

trust me... there was about 5,000 attending... when they annouced that 10,000 people are attending the rally the crowd looked around and said... "What"... there isn't that many people here... but subsequently a very good showing for such little exposure.

Where are the minorities?No Indians, Hispanics, blacks, or Asians.

Oh yeah, there don't usually attend Klan meetings...

Try contacting your representatives and see how far you get. A form letter, a person on the other end of the phone who is not interested in what you have to say, doesn't ASK for demographic info from you, doesn't know anything about the issue you are calling about Etc. It's very difficult to motivate our representatives because we can't really penetrate the safe zone they reside in. FIX That first.

Actual crowd count was in excess of 10,000 - yeah, I was there, too . . .
