Caiden Pics and Current Events

As promised here are the pics from Caiden's overnight visit this week.





It's a busy week here this week. Wednesday we joined about 70 other folks here in Urbana at the 1st annual Tax Day Tea Party. I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat , this spending has got to end and end now! Both parties are equally guilty for this mess we're in. Here are a few pics.







Tom is always such a subtle individual.


Saturday is the 2nd annual Patriot's Day walk. http://patriotsdaywalk.blogspot.com/ . Tom has received calls from several newspapers this year and interested people from all over the state. We are hoping to see a nice turn-out tomorrow morning. If you have questions Tom's contact number is posted on the event blog. You can also read about the event on www.gochampaign.com . I will be updating the event blog after the event with plenty of pics of this year's event.

Front page of the Urbana paper on Thursday had a pic of Jesse at the Tea Party walk holding his sign which read "Stop Stealing My Future" on one side and "I'll Be Paying Your Bills The Rest Of My Life! Does It Look Like I Have 10.1 Trillion Dollars?" The article under that one was an article on the Open Carry Walk that Tom and his friend Mike Craft organized. The bottom article was about right-wing groups.

And while I'm on that subject I want to say that I'm infuriated that the powers that be are trying to scare people away from 3rd party politics by labeling these groups as extremists. Also on the list? American soldiers returning from war!!!!!!!!!!! Are we trying to make the citizens fear these returning heros? Are we going to return to the Vietnam era of ignorance which will lead to our returning soldiers being spat at and worse on their return home? They want us to believe that these soldiers will ban together with extremist groups and /or engage in lone acts of violence. Our returning soldiers are all potential Timothy McVeighs. If Homeland security wants to worry about a dangerous group why don't they go after the thousands of gang members in this country? Do a full sweep of every city and lock them all away for good. I'll take my chances by locking myself up in a room with a group of returning soldiers and Libertarians.
