Alabama was well represented on in the Tax Tea Parties last week. I have been able to confirm 17 protests around the state. More importantly, each congressional district was represented, which sends a load message to Washington DC. Here are eight cities that held a protest, but were not confirmed until after the event occurred: Cullman, Dothan, Florence, Fort Payne, Greenville, Guntersville, Hueytown, and Wetumpka. Great job Alabama!

Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin gave a speech in Congress yesterday, and I thought it was a fantastic summary of the Tea Party Movement (See Video Below). I wish that guy could represent me in Congress.
A couple of month ago, as the Tax Tea Party movement began to gain steam; I wondered who would be the first in line to be boycotted by the group. Well after all the crude teabagging remarks by the likes of Anderson Cooper and the reporter who attacked a protester instead of reporting the news (see video below), the answer is CNN. A Facebook group called, CNN Offensive (Nationwide Sponsor Boycott) has been created to address the need for an apology for irresponsible journalism. Join the cause, because the Tea Party Movement can have a strong voice if we speak as one.
The photos and video I have seen out of the Fairhope Tea Party have been magnificent. Gene and the gang put together a great event, and the location was gorgeous. Check out these tea party photos on Flickr. Below is a YouTube video of the event. Keep up the good work in Baldwin County.
