Billie's Blog: "Family" Reunion in DC

Well the March on DC was a renewing and energetic experience. Once again Patriots from across America came together to send a message to Washington that We the People are not Happy.

This year there were 3 events going on across the country at the same time. That decision was made because Glenn Beck had an event 2 weeks ago and many people could not travel again. Even though it was less in numbers than last year, there were still MANY people here and the energy in the air was just as powerful as last year.

We had NO trouble getting the Dock inside the march. The day started with trying to find a place to "dress" the dock with Indians throwing tea over the side, our First Coast Tea Party banner and other decorative flags. The hotel we were staying in allowed us to use their enclosed garage to do that even though we were taking up a lot of room.

Once it was dressed, we headed to the staging area for the event and the traffic was backed up. As we approached the Washington Monument, a police officer saw us coming and he stopped traffic to allow us a space in the march! It was so easy and not at all what we had been told would happen. We marched with people from all walks of life and one gentlement who is dying of cancer was walking next to us. He was losing steam and we had him sit on the dock with us. He was a frail, cancer-ridden man and he wanted to make this march to stand up for his country.

After the march ended at the Capitol, we needed a place to Dock the Dock and here we go again - a two car parking spot on a side street was sitting there for us and the police directed us to it!

The police were helpful and respectful to us the entire event. Your prayers were answered.

We headed up to the Capitol steps and sat with hundreds of thousands of other great Patriots. It was like a huge Family Reunion of Americans. The speakers were great, the music was too and the feeling of "We will win in November" was in the air.

The weather was wonderful.

The day was wonderful.

The people were wonderful.

America is wonderful.

We are blessed and now it is time to Get to Work and prepare for the November 2 elections. It's our time now to take the House and the Senate back to a more conservative way of running our country. We need to get rid of those who have put us in harm's way both with our national security and with our financial standing.

Many of our First Coast Tea Party members will be heading home today. Pray for their safe return and thank you for your support.

I think that since the Tea Party now has a "track record" with the Park Police, that may have affected their attitude. No Nazi signs, no rowdiness, no trash left behind, it all adds up.

We all thank Ginnie Thomas for her Liberty Central help, the "crowns", and all else. She was impressed when I mentioned that we Tea Partiers read her (Supreme Court Justice Thomas) husband's opinions, especially on the MacDonald (Chicago) and Heller (Wash. D.C.) gun control issues, saying "Wow - you're an educated group of folks - I haven't even read them yet.!" She's a very personable, down-to-earth lady.

The March and subsequent activities were well worth the effort - we noticed that a U.K. TV crew was interviewing attendees - Of course no CNN, NBC, CBS, or ABC was around.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
