Thanks again for your participation on 4/3, and I hope to see you on Wednesday.

At the start, we found out that well over half the attendees were there for their 1st Rolling Tea Party, and many had been to Washington DC for the 1st time in their lives during the past year.  The event started at 9:45am with a few words from District 19 Missouri Representative Cynthia Davis, District 19 candidate Dave Evans, and Tea Party Patriot Jay Stewart.  The fired-up group left the O’Fallon Target parking lot and made two loops through a route that included O’Fallon, St. Peters and Cottleville.

Folks outdid themselves with the decorations for their vehicles and prizes, including T-Shirts, Hats and books, were awarded to the Best Decorated Vehicles.  Michelle Moore handled the duties as Best Dressed Car Czar.  Congratulations to the Best Dressed Car winners:

• Tom Higgins
• Jim and Laure Schmidt
• Brenda Webb

At about 12:45, the caravan made it to the weekly K&N Rally and swelled their ranks for the remainder of their protest.

Thanks again to the sponsors: St. Louis Tea Party, Show-Me Patriots and I Heard The People Say.  Your help took the event to the next level!  Be sure to check them out at StLouisTeaParty.com ShowMePatriots.org and IHeardThePeopleSay.org

November 28, 2009 Rolling Tea Party

On Saturday 04/03/10, “St. Louis Tea Party”, “I Heard The People Say”, and “Show-Me Patriots” invite St. Louis Metro Area Conservatives, Republicans, and other Fiscally Responsible citizens to join in a Rolling Tea Party through portions of St. Charles County.

You are invited to decorate your vehicle with appropriate (and responsible) items to protest the out of control spending and legislation being proposed and enacted in Washington, DC.

Join us at the O’Fallon Target parking lot (2300 Hwy K, O’Fallon, MO 63376) at 9:30am to prepare and be ready to leave by 10:00am.  Look for the Yellow Ford F150 in the parking lot.

Route

• The route is posted in the picture below.
• We will run the route (mostly) twice and end at the K&N Rally

Notes

• The trip is expected to take 2.5 hours
• There will be main two stops for re-grouping (we may pause if stop-lights are causing problems)
• Do not run stop lights / watch for our friend the ‘Red Light Camera’
• Do not slow of hinder other traffic / be considerate
• We will typically travel 5mph below the speed limit

Stop The Prop

• We’ve been asked by the folks at Citizens for Better Transit to include signage opposing “Prop A” in our Rolling Tea Party.  St. Louis County will be voting on this Proposition on April 6th and we could help stop this money-grab by the folks at Metrolink.  Your family of four is already paying $350 per year in taxes for Metrolink; this tax will bring that amount up to $650 per year.  More information at http://www.stoptheprop.com

If you haven’t been on a Rolling Tea Party before, think Wedding Party meets 4^th of July Parade meets Tea Party.

• Decorate with signs / flags / streamers / pigs / cans
• Noisemakers (one young man brought his trumpet previously)
• Window paint
• We hope to have prizes for best decorated vehicle
• Make sure decorations can handle a speed of 45mph.  TEST them before you arrive at the event!

Prizes

• There will be a few prizes for the best decorated vehicle, so do your best!!
• Michelle Moore will be the Best Dressed Car Czar.
• Be sure to check out her site at www.atraditionallifelived.com
