Taking It To The Streets![ September 14, 2009 – 11:46 am]by Bill Waller Posted in » Local, National

History was made at our nation’s Capitol on September 12, 2009 as the nation descended on Washington D.C.

I’ve read estimates from the National Park Service at 1.5 million, and the Albany Herald reported “tens of thousands.” Whatever the final tally is, the crowd was undeniably huge!

March on Washington…Albany Style[ September 10, 2009 – 9:51 am]by Bill Waller Posted in » Albany Dougherty County, National

I received a message from someone that wanted to know when the next Tea Party will be. As most of you know, there is a giant March on Washington that is being planned for this Saturday, September 12, 2009. Albany is sending several people up there. I know of six off of the top of my head that are either already there or will be there for this historic event.

Glenn Beck will be covering the March on Washington live from 1-3pm. I’ve reserved the room at Beef O’Bradys starting at 12:30pm. I have even made a Facebook event page for this gathering.
