Some kids were there, too:
Some people displayed flags with historic significance:
From the Texas Revolution:
"Come and Take It"
The 1824 flag
From the American Revolution:
The Gadsden flag: "Don't Tread on Me"
The Betsy Ross flag
The MC today was a bricklayer from Odessa, "Jason the Mason":
There were all kinds of signs, as well:
There was lots of Red, White & Blue being worn. I even wore the t-shirt I got last summer that I couldn't wear until recently, and someone was passing out buttons:
Everyone was very well behaved, I didn't see anything that could be considered "trouble". The crowd got a little loud and raucous at times, but that is only to be expected. More later when I have the time...
They did say there would be another event later today, at 4:30, at the State Capitol Building, but I've got someplace else I have to be: work...

I'm glad you had an opportunity to participate. I would have loved to be there, or at the gathering at Alamo Plaza. Great signs!

Thanks for the pictures and commentary. Sounds like it was a very good rally. Glad to hear it. Still at the office.
Very nice. My Tea Party (for which I've never done anything like this either) gathered about 50+ people. Late filing and all. It was a lot of fun, though. We had 2 ACORN thugs show up. lol. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Isn't that a twist for this April 15th? ;)
We even one on-duty police officer come over and voice his support for our efforts. He agreed to wear a tea bag under his badge! Wow. Long Beach, California.
