Patriot Day Tea Party Updates
Is There Not a Cause?
[24 Feb 10]
I recently came across a quote from Al Capone: Kind words don't get you as much as kind words with a gun.
Apparently the infamous Chicago gangster found that a credible threat behind his kind words helped with his income redistribution efforts. A look at the various health reform schemes, cap and tax scams, tax increases, and government power grabs put forward show that others have learned from Capone's example.
We don't have to sit back and do nothing. Together, we can do something to push back the forces of statism. Get informed and get involved.
If you are interested in building up a Tea Party group in the Richfield, Ohio, area please get in touch with Al Davis.
Thank You Veterans!

250+ Turn Out in Richfield!
[14 Sep 09]
Our tea party was a tremendous success! People kept asking us how many we expected to have at our Richfield Patriot Day Tea Party. We started out hoping to break 100 but really had no idea. By 4:00 the cars started streaming in, filling up two lots with a hundred cars and then spilling over into an adjacent lot and along the drive. We also had a number of people arrive on foot and bicycle. We even had a heckler, though most people never knew he was there. A guy rode by on a bicycle shouting, "Go, Obama!", to which we can readily agree: "GO,Obama!", as in "Go away, Obama!" All told, we believe there were just over 250 attending.
Pastor Al Davis of theBible Baptist Church in Richfield moderated the program and led us off with a prayer, concluding without apology "In Jesus Name." Russ Scarvelli, of Operation Firing for Effect then sang the Star Spangled Banner. Following the national anthem, Joe Gayner, one of the Richfield Patriot Day Tea Party organizers, and his son, Nick, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
After some opening remarks we recognized the many veterans who were present as well as all past and present police, fire, and rescue workers. Then, in honor of those who were killed on September 11, 2001, Kim Davis, another of the Richfield Patriot Day Tea Party organizers, read a special 9/11 time line, followed by a moment of silence.
It is taking some time but we do have a few pictures of the tea party available at our picture gallery. We hope to have some more available soon.
Thanks again to everyone who helped and participated. We could not have done it without you!
