Drove down to Danvers to cover the Post (Tea) Party Summit
Jeff Katz WXKS
The Summit is here to teach how to get involved beyond protesting professionally with workshops on running for office, voter Registration and even blogs and fundraising.
The Axis of Fedora grows
115 people are here today to get beyond protesting.
And of course to Join the Axis of Fedora….
Update: That 115 count has increased as I’ve been sitting here I’ll give you a final count as soon as I have it.
Boston has taken sides in the Arizona law dispute:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino, joining the City Council in registering strong objections to the tough new immigration laws in Arizona, said yesterday that he will consider canceling city contracts with firms based in the state that agree with the crackdown.
As the City Council passed a resolution urging that Boston cut business ties with Arizona, Menino said it was important to send “a message’’ that the city disagrees with that state’s response to illegal immigration.
Apparently the Boston city counsel’s parents should have considered home schooling since they believe 30% is greater than 60%. Michael Graham today on his radio show proposed a boycott of Boston by people who disagree with this position. As Graham and Company were part of the 10,000 in Boston on Wednesday April 14 while the open borders crowd could only muster 300 last Saturday Afternoon I suspect that although it might gain votes in the city proper it will risk a lot more dollars to the city coffers.
Hey if they want to be with the 300 vs the 10,000 hey the city voted for these people and as always they get the government they deserve.
My latest article for the Examiner A Tale of Two Groups is now online. It is a comparison of two different Boston protests a peek:
One group saluted troops, bringing a Gold Star Mother on stage.
The other wrapped people in trash bags representing body bags and protested in front of a military recruitment center.
Read the whole thing and if you’ve missed any of my previous Examiner articles you can find them here. Remember every click on these articles has the effect of a few cents to DaTipJar, so share them with your friends, in fact share them with your enemies maybe they’ll become friends.
It would be in the headline rotation of ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Headline News, PBS and BET.
But it is instead the lionized “immigration” marches so it will not make the news:
Close to 20 businesses were damaged after what started as a peaceful immigrants’ rights march in downtown Santa Cruz turned violent, requiring police to call other agencies for help, authorities said.
Police spokesman Zach Friend said an estimated 250 people started marching through the city around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
It was a harmonious but “unpermitted and unsanctioned event,” he said, until some in the crowd started breaking windows and spraying paint on retail shops that line the downtown corridor.
In other words the crowd was peaceful until it wasn’t.
We hear the left telling us how dangerous Tea Party members are, what will they say about their own?
I think it would be very interesting to call up congressmen who commented on the dangers of the tea party rallies to see what they have to say about events in Santa Cruz.
