Why thank you, that sounds delightful on this drizzly day!
"Thousands of anti-tax "tea party" protesters took to the streets Wednesday in some of the nation's biggest cities -- including Boston, Tulsa and Sacramento -- voicing their opposition to high taxes and big government spending...The demonstrations are part of a larger grassroots movement against government spending called Taxed Enough Already, or TEA -- giving name to the Tax Day Tea Parties -- and come more than 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party revolt against taxes.
Today Mom, Dad, Hyrum, and I participated in Salt Lake City's very own Tea Party. It was raining/snowing, but that didn't stop people from coming out to voice their opinions on what is happening to our nation. The crowd ran the gammet from young, old, conservative, alternative, white collar, blue collar, etc. It's good to know that I'm not alone in my concern for my country and that people from all walks of life are on the "same page". I hope our leaders will sit up and take notice of the people they represent. I felt proud today to follow in the footsteps of my Grandma Madsen and my Great Grandma Fae, who were very involved with politics through out their lives. It us our duty as American citizens to stay informed and to participate for united we stand and divided we fall. Our great country was founded on Christian principles and the voice of the people, lets keep it that way. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Laura, once again you motivated us to do our duty - to God and Country. We can no longer stand silent. I can't help but think that Grandma Madsen and Great Grandma Fae were there with us cheering us on. We all got soaking wet but it was so worth it.
your awesome!
Yea! Good for you!
You guys are so awesome! Let's hope our government listens! Thanks for being such a great example to us all!
