The "Tea Party" Protest













Yesterday, April 15, was designated as the day to have"Tea Party" protests against government spending policies. Since I don't have much interest in politics I didn't know anything about it but Curt had been checking out places that were holding a "tea party". Jamestown hadn't been lised but then we saw an ad in the paper and decided to go join the cause. I felt bad I hadn't planned ahead and made a protest sign but we joined the march from the Buffalo City Grill parking lot to the KC Hall, where the speeches were made. There were only about 50 adults and children in the march but I was proud to be part of it. This country has become great because it was founded on Godly principles. We are "One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all". But we are turning away from the very principles that made us strong. Now I just need to do something about it and write to my Congressmen about my concerns.
