Homestead mailing list

One other concern I have is that Washington is home to professional sign  
carriers, and they will carry any
sign they are paid to. The major unions, and other groups all have a list  
of these folks and regularly roll them out for their own protests, and  
occasionally hire them to show up at opponents protests with wild extreme 
signs  
to purposely derail the efforts of the group. They are trained to find the  
cameras, get on them, not give any interviews and leave. I know a group of  
college students at Montgomery college in Rockville MD, that make a nice 
bit of  spending money this way.

I have  no doubt there are some jerks with signs like that, and those kinds 
of signs  anger me.  They detract from the big messages, "limited 
government",  "small government", "excessive taxation", "unconstitutional 
actions by  
congress", "irresponsible spending by congress", etc.  They are not  
representative of the majority either.

Out here, organizers won't let  them hoist signs like that, because the 
real message gets lost.

What is  also being missed is that Congress and special interests need to 
take  responsibility also.  People are tired of having their wallets raped,  
favoritism of this or that group/business over another, and their  freedoms 
taken away.  They are fighting back.  The anger has been  brewing for years.

One small example, when big dairy wanted to take  over, what did they do?  
In WI, they kept changing the laws on the  location of the manure trench 
behind milk cows every year or so, causing great  expense to small dairies, 
etc. until they put them out of biz.  The  government favored one dairy over 
the other.  It doesn't take a mental  giant to figure out why. 

There are millions of examples, millions of  laws and regulations on the 
books, and it is time that citizens stand up and  say enough is  enough.

What I got from what she said is that there  are people who might take some
of the messages set forth by people at the  tea parties and act on them. My
understanding of the tea parties is that  they are protests against taxes.

Some of the signs say things  like:

Obama's plan = white slavery

The zoo is the place for  monkeys, the white house has an African. 
(something
like that)

There  are lots of more extreme messages. Pelosi is saying that the great
thing  about this country is free speech, but people need to take
responsibility  for what they say. There are lots of crazies in the world.
