Saturday I had the pleasure to attend a “Tea Party” event which was held in Gainesville. I didn’t know much about the group and after reading news articles and their site I was still confused about them. So my intention was to meet them in person to watch their actions and come to a conclusion about their intents.
The part that shocked me at this event was all of the different political groups that were represented there. I really doubt they refused anybody. From my understanding they wish to supply all information possible they can obtain to inform the public so the public can make a choice based on facts. In all fairness, I did not see any groups that support a democratic or liberal view point. Although I do believe they would be welcome at the event.
There was some political incumbent speakers, but none had a booth for the public to inquire about there stance on issues. I did notice after their speech they did leave the event. Something I would deem a “bad move” on their part.
In conclusion, I would say I support their actions based on what I had seen. I believe they support the people and not a political theme. I hope in the future they remember there is more to Florida than the Gainesville area.
