Homestead mailing list

That is because it truly is not an organized group following a theme, this  
is a real honest to goodness uprising of people with a variety of problems 
with  what the current administration is doing. We have so many different 
things being  done right now with the economy, the bailouts, the huge debt, 
the healthcare  change proposals, the illegal immigrant issue as related to 
several of these,  the military is still in Iraq against promises to the 
contrary, increased troops  in Afghanistan, the Czars, the crooked pasts of 
the 
current politicians in  charge (nothing new here), the canceled pay increases 
for welfare recipients,  government motors, ACORN, and a number of other 
issues that each have a group of  opponents. Add that to the birthers and 
others on the fringe and you get  millions of upset folks who are upset of 
their 
own accord. There was no call to  arms, word spread and people showed up 
with their own issues and signs. It is a  unique time, I think.

Just looking at the signs from the photos of  the Washington rally, 
everyone 
seemed to be there for a different  reason...from anti-abortion, to 
no-socialism, to Sarah Palin for  President,  to Audit the Fed, to just 
plain 
not liking Obama. It will  be hard to find a platform/candidate they can 
all 
agree  with.


That's just it.  If you get out and talk to the people,  they only put one 
thing on their signs, but agree with most of the other  signs.  They all 
fall under a loose catch-all to reduce the size of  government.  

A CNN reporter in NM stated that he couldn't figure  out what the protests 
were about.  Basically the same thing you are  saying.  The protests are 
about all of the above, collectively.  I  do not agree with all of the 
sentiments expressed on signs, but do with a  significant majority of them.  
Collectively, these signs are saying  people are sick and tired of big 
brother 
government - not just one issue - but  the whole kit and kaboodle.  I'm 
thinking, based on your point, that the  news can not handle multiple 
objections all 
at one time.
