Over 5000 concerned citizens from across Colorado gathered at the steps of the State Capital this afternoon. They gathered to send a loud and clear message to Washington DC. STOP SPENDING AND WASTING OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND STOP INCREASING THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT. Libertarians, Conservatives, Constitutionalists, Independents, and moderate Democrats all showed at this the second rally this year. I was at the both rallies and I was very impressed at the turnout today. I feel better knowing more people are starting to stand up for their liberties and tell their government NO MORE!
When I got home I happened to turn on CNN and listed to someone covering a news story at another rally. The reporter had an absurd question that mentioned that 95% of Americans are getting a tax cut this year. What the reporter failed to mention was the trillion plus we have to go in debt under the Obama plan. It also didn’t account for the inflation tax we will soon see with all our commodities. I am personally frustrated with biased news reporting which doesn’t account with how people really feel about policies. Thank goodness for the Internet where I can access millions of articles, blogs, videos and more from everyday people.
On a finally note I was happy to hear more people waking up to the Federal Reserve Bank’s role in our economic mess. When the government does not have money they look to the Fed to print it. This comes as a heavy burden on all of us with inflation.

The state capitol rally was impressive to say the least. I showed up late and despite my years of fighting through concerts to get to the stage, I couldn’t get close due to the crowds. The sound system wasn’t up to the size of the crowd so many didn’t hear the speakers although that didn’t seem to dampen the enthusiasm. It is these kinds of events that give Liberty Lovers a sense of real “hope and change.” Rumor has it that 2000 people showed up in Fort Collins as well. The revolution has just begun. Thanks to all of those who attended and promoted the various tea parties across the state.
