Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
Our Conversation with Occupy DC
We had planned our trip for a while and had no idea we would be here among the crowd of Occupy DC protestors. But here we are - tea party members here for a conference on Values in America standing eye to eye with those who hate American values and all we stand for.
Do not be fooled with what you are reading or hearing on TV. These Occupy individuals are not American freedom-loving people. They stood on a sidewalk yelling at us about capitalism and how anyone who owns a business should give their money to the poor. Anyone - will include a small printing company, a small contractor, a mom and pop coffee shop. These people hate you and what you stand for. They hate hard work, they hate having to pay their bills, they hate personal responsibility, they hate anyone who wants to take away their EBT cards, they hate those of us who love America.
Any organizations that starts with hate - would not be an organization we associate with.
When the tea party formed in 2009, we stood up for America and we loved the freedom she gave us through our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. We did not hurt anyone, we were 1.5 million strong, we left no trash behind and we took our signs home with us and turned them into letters to our representatives and voting for Conservatives in the polls. That is what we did and will continue to do.
We will not be manipulated by thugs on the streets of NY, DC or Jacksonville who hate America.
We still encourage you to stay away from those who will "occupy" our city. Many cities are letting them do so without permits which is illegal. We are certain our city of Jacksonville will not let these people do anything that is not permitted by law.
We hope this will not escalate because what we are seeing in DC is not pretty. Watching Nancy Pelosi and President Obama encourage them is highly disturbing since they called us horrible, disgusting names when we marched peacefully.
Our country is upside down and inside out. The people occupying the streets are nothing more than useful drones for the benefit of those behind them with billions of dollars sitting in their bank accounts. How sad and how irresponsible this Occupy Protest has become. How horribly sad it is that our President supports them.

@Dann Robb: Your statement speaks for itself:
'I would recommend that anyone who has the time and wherewithal, head down to Hemming Plaza today and see what's up. See them, hear them, and know them. Basic intelligence gathering. Video/audio record them. Times are definitely changing my friends. Times are changing.'
I already know who my enemy is, very clearly. This whole protest was in the works years ago. Everyone is aware of what is going on, period. This is not a walk in the zoo and personally i question your encouragement to others.
I stated it was My personal opinion. This is still the United States of America isn't it?

Doug everything Billie said about the bolsheviks is true, The Tea Party Movement isn't trying to overthrow Constitutional government, we are defending the law.

Who the h*$% are you JL Gawlik? You sir, have no standing question me. If you could not discern the intent of my post, then you are remiss, not me. Find where in my post I said get with these marxists and hang out. Walk and talk with them? I said view and record them if possible, situation dictates the distance. Going to the zoo does not an animal make. If you can't comprehend the need for knowing who your enemy is, then perhaps you sir, should sit this out. I'll be at Nullify Now. Come by and say hello.

Michael has it exactly right... the riots are coming here and for the exact reason he specified.

Hello Bob, maybe you should learn to read. I did NOT say they were alike, I said that Billies rhetoric IS like the stuff they said about the Tea Party.

Stay safe, and THANK YOU so much for keeping us informed. Wishing you and all safe travels...
@Dann Robb, you comment is way off base. You are encouraging others here to add to their numbers, something about you is very disingenuous. This is my personal opinion. I would advise all to stay away period. What you are suggesting is nuts, you are telling people here to aid these kooks with their presence. You are walking a very thin line in your statements, that is suspect.

I believe that the Occupy folks are similar to the public services union members rioting in Greece. They are unhappy that government largesse is winding down. They have no idea how to function without some form of government support. Therefore they are against the very system that puts the burden of self support on the individual; capitalism.
As financial reality forces the US to reduce support for millions of Americans, I expect to see many more protests and riots similar to the UK, Greece, Italy, and Spain. Americans are no less hooked on government handouts than citizens of these countries. Americans will respond the same way. The Occupy protests are only the beginning. These protests are occurring BEFORE actual budget cuts. Imagine the response when benefits are actually reduced?
The next few years will see the clash between the folks that are willing and able to do for themselves and those that aren’t. This scenario is Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” being played out in real time. Don’t kid yourself into believing that capitalism is the guaranteed winner.

I would recommend that anyone who has the time and wherewithal, head down to Hemming Plaza today and see what's up. See them, hear them, and know them. Basic intelligence gathering. Video/audio record them. Times are definitely changing my friends. Times are changing.

Douglas Newberry if you can't see the difference between a mob of bolsheviks and the Tea Party Movement it places you in the useful idiot category.

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...…
