"Tea Party Express...a day in Searchlight"

We had the most fantastic day in Searchlight, Nevada...it was the first stage of the "Tea Party Express"...a modern day conservative Woodstock. The purpose was to gather and show our support toward ridding our state of Harry Reid, Democratic Majority Leader. Harry is nothing more than a good "yes" man. He says one thing and does another. He hasn't done anything for the state in a long time. Right now, he is all "show". For example... a number of years ago, he voted for gun control after telling the locals that he was going to vote against it. Today was the Grand Opening of the Clark County Shooting Park...a state of the art shooting facility. A person can go and participate in target shooting with their rifle, handgun, bow, shotgun or black powder. Guess who was there pretending to be in support? Good old Harry. I guess he thinks we have forgotten his past voting practice.

Another reason for supporting the Tea Party Express is to let the people in Washington know that we're tired of them taking our privledges and rights away from us. Our fore fathers gave us a constitution for a reason and the current "leaders" do not know how to read and follow that constitution. Yes, there are some that work for their state, but Harry Reid is not one of them. He's nothing more than a career politican. After moving to Nevada, I knew nothing about the man, but he's quickly shown his colors as have others in other states. When he voted on this last very important bill...one that the people should have had more of a say in things... I immediately emailed him and told him I would do everything in my power to see that he's not re-elected. Today was our first step in that direction.

The picture shows only a portion of the number of people who were there today. They were everywhere..even some had climbed the hillside and was sitting there to take in everything. Neither of us are in favor of any violent behavior and there was no violence or outrageous behavior today, but we are in favor of removing this man from office...he's been there too long.

Just wanted to share our feelings... we, as parents and grandparents are very concerned about the future of our children, grandchildren and great-grand children and the debt they have just inherited.
