Tea Party Parade Float Met With Standing Ovations
WOW! What a Day!
Thank you to the wonderful patriots who joined the Fredericksburg Tea Party float in the July 4th Independence Day Parade.
A special thanks for Jeff Kunz who built the float and Joy Johnson who created the decorations. Thank you also to Angela & Ron Smith, Allen & Pat Spousta, Kirk & Fay Kinley, Michael & Mary Monahan and Tractor Supply who contributed to our float.
Three items that most impressed me:
1) It was standing room only (literally) when nearly 40 patriots arrived in the hot 1pm sun. We filled the float, the truck and many had to walk alongside the float. I thank the many veterans, children and patriots who joined us.
2) We had a blast! Not only did we have the most populated float, we had the most fun, singing patriotic songs, chanting, smiling and flag waving.
3) But, the most amazing thing was the response of the crowd. The Tea Party received standing ovations from the start of the parade to the finish. The crowds were cheering and showing support with thumbs up.
The community supports our movement, and that gives me real optimism for the November election.
Speaking of November, mark you calendars for July 13th, 6pm. That is our next general meeting, where we will launch our Get Out the Vote program. We love rallies and floats, but the November election is where the rubber hits the road. And our Get Out the Vote program, with your help, will break all county voting records!
