Although Obama sympathizers managed to derail what would have been the area’s largest Tea Party, they cound not stifle the movement. Over 7,000 patriots came to Jim Miller Park in Marietta to voice their disgust with Washington’s deaf ears.

The featured speaker for the night was the dynamic Herman Cain, conservative talk radio host who broadcasts from 750 WSB Atlanta.
As with all Tea Party events, signs were everywhere.
Reminders of the 15,000+ April 15 Atlanta Tea Party were everywhere, but no one seemed to mind the change of venue forced by the pro-Obama Simon/Gwinnett Place Mall. The Cobb Tea Party folks were very well organized, and the assembly came off like clockwork. In other words, it was very unlike Washington.
There’s nothing like getting together with a bunch of teabagging rednecks to protest a black president, is there Janeane? Oh, that’s right, you weren’t there to hear that most of the night’s comments were directed at Barney Frank and his comrades in Congress. Or that an “angry black man” did most of the talking. Oh well, there’s always September 12…

This was a great event! Out government is out of control. Check out parentalrights.org to see one more part of it. This group has helped to get a Constitutional Amendment filed in both the House and the Senate. HR42 and SJ16 have been introduced in response to Hillary Clinton’s push for the United Nations Council on the Rights of the Child. VAWA is now taking $4Billion dollars, and the people takingthe money are flying around the country having a good time on our dime. Thank God people are finally waking up!

Thank you Michael for your great photo report!
Kudos to Ben Mihalski and all the team for putting together a fantastic event with positive focus – not a protest but an educational celebration.
Thank you to Herman Cain and the team at WSB, to Joel Aaron who powered through with a sore throat, to Banks and Shane for the music and all the fantastic speakers. Thanks to Congressman Price and Secretary of State Karen Handel for asking permission to attend the event and not trying to railroad it and claim it as their own as some others did.
Most of all thank you BEN for your hard work and efforts in making the Cobb event one of the most successful and powerful in the nation!

Goverment is way to big and with the position that the current administration is headed it will become a lot larger and less responsible to the citizens. We need a goverment for the people by the people.
