Bay Area Patriots

There are many, many people I need to thank in connection with the San Francisco Tea Party of August 14, 2009 . 

• Thanks to every single one of you who attended the SF Tea Party on August 14th and thanks to those who couldn’t attend but were there in spirit.
• Thanks to all of the individuals speakers who shared their concerns, thoughts and stories with us on the 14^th.  Too bad “Hear No Opposition", "See No Opposition" and "Speak to No Opposition” didn’t give you the time of day.
• Thanks to all who signed on for the yahoo groups site enabling us all to stay connected while I worked on this site and revamped my email capacity.
• Thanks to Michael Heller for donating his time to film the event, edit it and post it on the internet.
• Thanks to Andrew Weeks for some fabulous photos and Steve Kemp for his fabulous photos, advice and video.
• Thanks to everyone else who took pictures—I can’t remember all of the names, but feel free to remind me so I can properly thank you!
• Thanks to the Marin, Novato and Nob Hill Republican Women’s Federateds for getting the word out and supporting the Tea Party.
• Thanks to Howard Epstein and the SF GOP for spreading the news and supporting all Tea Party efforts to date.
• Thanks to Brian Sussman, Tom Del Beccaro, Dana Walsh and Virginia Fuller for speaking at the Tea Party and spreading the word.
• Thanks to Eric Santos for his help over at KSFO. 
• Thanks to Gini David, Gina White, Michelle Cherrick and Kelly Laekas for their invaluable help and counsel. 
• Boundless thanks to the web-babe for everything!
• Thanks to Jan for helping with the brochure and putting the final touches on Rina’s drawing.
• Thanks to Rina for giving us our logo, Lady Liberty and her Tea Bag.
• Thanks to my family and husband for putting up with all of the Tea Party Hullaballoo.
• Thanks to everyone who purchased a Tee-shirt, allowing us to have some money to reimburse expenses and purchase supplies, including a tent for folks to cool off when it gets too hot.
• And finally, thanks to Obama for bringing us all together as a result of his reprehensible and destructive policies on issues that bind us, thereby allowing us to show the world what true nonpartisanship is.

 Tut-Tut to each and every representative and senator who continues to marginalize us, mock us and hide from us.  2010.
