Shawn & I decided to take part in a TEA Party in our area. For anyone who doesn't follow the news (or follows the new that refused to take the time to report on this big event) there were thousands of TEA Parties across the country on April 15th. The TEA Parties were an opportunity for proud Americans to express their opposing feelings about the government, politicians and the direction this great country is heading. Since I had to work and Shawn is currently waiting for construction to start on another house we decided it would be more beneficial for us to join our fellow Americans in Jackson, Wyoming during my lunch hour.
Jackson, Wyoming happened to have their TEA Party during a spring blizzard. 775 Supporters held American flags, TEA Party signs and honked their car horns. 500+ thumbs up from cars driving by the event. That’s a conservative count of 1275 supporter in a town of 8,500 during freezing rain and snow. Anyone can hold a rally during nice weather, but we did it during a spring snow storm.
It felt really good to do something and to know that we are not the only ones that are fed up with the government and there doings. We were cold and wet and wanted to stay longer, but we really felt good about participating for the amount of time we could. We also won a gift certificate for the best signs their. This picture was taken at the TEA Party and posted on a website of the gentlemen who put together Jackson's TEA Party.

It is great to see people taking a stand. I too feel frustrated and helpless at the changes taking place.
