sorry...

I can't make it, I am working and my daughter has her first ticket. (Failure to stop, she will win.)

I went with Deros last year and wish I could go tomorrow!

I'll try to make it, but since I live in Oly I would never be able to make it up North to pick you up. Besides I would be embarrassed by being up (hair) staged by you! I'm getting off work about 2pm + or - so I'm going to try.

I-5 exit 105-A puts you on 14th Ave (turn RIGHT at Jefferson St.)

Add to your "Drain the Swamp" title "Get Rid of the Leeches".

That would give a nice "ring to it" and could also make for a nice "chant".

Thanks Deros

...for getting the word out on this. I hadn't heard about it until I read this thread two nights ago.

Went despite concerns there'd be a big union presence and bought a couple t-shirts from the Pierce County Tea Party association to show support - hung out on the steps and listened to the speakers for 30 or 45 minutes or so.

The 'other' people were a pathetic group. Comic antics and a few weak sisters pleading for attention - I think there might've been 50 people over there - maybe more before I arrived though? The 2pm/3pm thing was confusing - I showed up at ~2:40 or so. At least 150 or more on the Capitol steps - so they were outnumbered :)

Thanks again!
