The last time Kasey and I went out together it was Karaoke.
We thought we would keep it fresh and broaden our "political activist" horizons and attended our local Tax Day Tea Party.

I gave my first ever "speech".... anyone who wanted to speak, could......so it wasn't like I was a "special" or anything....but it was great to have a chance to literally voice my feelings.
It was so energizing to be able to express my views in a public forum,
as opposed to screaming at my television with nobody listening.
Every person needs to understand the power of their voice...
and the incredible collective power of our voices united.
If we care about our country and it's future, we cannot afford to sit idly by - saying "What difference can I make, anyway?"

We ran into my sister in law, Shannon... and my "like a sister in law", Dana.
They were cute little activists.
Shannon was busy busting the glass out of store windows and looting dry erase markers from the school supply store....
while Dana threw rocks at the courthouse and screamed profanities at the media. :)
Though this was great....
My favorite part: The signs.

I am so grateful to live in this free country where we have the right to protest peacefully and make our voices heard.
This movement is only the beginning of the "real change" we can count on.
I am so excited!

The looting was a blast but I was really hoping to chain myself to a park bench and scream "Hell No We Won't Go!". Sigh....oh well. Maybe at our next protest?
ReplyDeleteWow! Great pictures & looks like it was a great turnout! But, where is the red bodysuit you said you were going to wear?!
ReplyDeleteI found the quote from Thomas Jefferson disturbing in light of the fact that he owned and profited from the work of slaves.
