Here is a snippit:

“People are tired of the government, they have the feeling they aren’t being listened to and I’m offering a representative that will listen to them and abide by the Constitution,” Gunn said before the meeting started.

Gunn said he has strong Libertarian views on most issues.

He is a private contractor from Ware whose company had seven employees but downsized to two as the economy faltered.

Gunn said he opposed the Troubled Asset Relief Program bill and the stimulus bill, as well as Cap and Trade reform.

The federal government needs to curb spending and cut taxes, he said.

Many federal departments such as the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Agriculture Department are unnecessary, Gunn said.

This makes two days in a row that the Sentinel had something to do with the tea party on the front page. Tuesday they covered the Twin City tea Party candidate forum. It’s a good sign.

As you know I was also there, here is the first of the video’s I shot, I will append the others as they upload.

I have some errands to run so it might be a little while before it is all up.

UPDATE: Here is the rest of the Town Hall in sequence:

…at the Tea Party Forum, now what did the people who attended have to say?

We started with Charlie:

I’ve actually talked to Charlie before at the conservative forum of the commonwealth.

I then talked to Elaine and Ann but we were interrupted by the start of the forum.

When the candidates were done we went back to see what they had to say.

Elaine’s thought that both parties are the same might be echoed by Eric Erickson these days.

And a quick round up from me:

Bottom line is was a good event, the Twin City Tea Party it forces local media to at least notice Tea Party events without putting a set of horns on us, local reps were put in the position to answer voters directly and we got to see their prospective replacements function when challenged. Kudos for the Border Grille & Bar for hosting.

More please.

My latest examiner column A Civic Tea Party is now up. A quick peek:

Why does the tea party elicit such odd responses? Well everybody knows what the tea party is against, excessive spending and taxation, but what is the tea parties for? How can the tea parties become a movement that is not just a movement of protest?

Well it looks like the Twin City Tea Party and Justin Brooks their newly elected president seems to have found the equation.

More photos of the event here. Local tea parties should get involved in civic activities, particular ones that have been left behind. The more the Tea Party integrates with the community the harder it is to demonize us.

As always you can find my complete set of Enquirer columns here. Due to my extreme greed I suggest that you click on them often.

…the Twin City Tea Party had a flag day event.

And we got pictures:

I’m very sorry for the lateness of this post, I’ve been having upload problems all day.
