An estimated 20,000 freedom loving patriots lined Nevada's Highway 95 causing traffic jams on the way to attend The Tea Party Express III: Showdown in Searchlight. By 10am parking for the event was full. Thousands were forced to park on the shoulder of Highway 95 up to three miles from the event.
I have attended several Tea Party Express events across the country and I have never seen anything like this. Patriots from all over the United States attended the event to hear keynote speaker Sarah Palin kick off the event and the crowd was not disappointed.
“When we talk about fighting for our country, let’s clear the air right now about what we’re talking about, Sarah shouted to the crowd and looked straight at the media cameras adding "Try to get this right." The crowd went wild. She went on to say “violence isn’t the answer.” She said “our vote is our arms” and encouraged activists not to be discouraged by the passage of the Democratic healthcare overhaul bill last week, but rather to channel their energies into defeating congressional Democrats who supported the legislation.
The rally was a phenomenal success. Attendees were treated to an amazing display of jets flying overhead writing out "We The People," "God Bless The Usa," and "Vote Reid Out!" As LLoyd Marcus kicked off the Tea Party Rally song.
If the Democrats think that the Tea Party Patriots are going to accept defeat quietly they better think again. Judging by the thousands who turned out today more determined than ever to win their country back, I'd say that the Democrats are going to have a rude awakening come November.
