No question for this vlog. I’m just recapping last night’s events. If you were there, you know how incredible it was. If you weren’t there, I’m working on a video to try and capture the atmosphere and the thousands of Americans in attendance. It was awesome.

I’m getting pretty jazzed for the Tea Party in Overland Park tonight. Leading up to this, I wasn’t necessarily losing faith in the “movement,” but I was getting frustrated; frustrated that it wasn’t getting the attention it deserved, frustrated that what appeared to be many like-minded individuals started bad mouthing the tea parties.
However, I know [...]

I know many of you are gearing up for the Kansas City Tax Day Tea Parties coming up on Wednesday. I hope all of you plan on coming to the Tea Party in Overland Park as Darla Jaye and I will be broadcasting live from 12345 College Blvd (corner of College & Quivira).
Here is the [...]

We’ve got some exciting plans in the near future. This Friday I will be on-air with Darla Jaye to begin her show, around 6pm. I believe we’ll be talking about the Tax Day Tea Party that is coming up in Overland Park.

That is not the case anymore. Thank you to Conservative Punk for posting this video, and also linking to past stories regarding [...]
