The Nationwide Chicago Tea Party will will be here on Friday.I will be at the Chicago incarnation, as will Anne Leary of Backyard Conservative and Tom Mannis of the Chicago News Bench, and the Freedom Folks. And a bunch of other patriots concerned about our slide into socialism.
Here's the drill in Chicago:
Folks will begin to gather at Daley Plaza, 50 W. Washington, at 11:00am. Black attire is being encouraged, as if this was a funeral.
About 15 minutes later the group will march north to the Michigan Avenue bridge, which is next to the Tribune Tower, where politicians, including Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica will speak. That part of the Tea Party will kick off at Noon.
Signs, big ones, are encouraged. If you are a blogger, bring your cameras.
Please be creative, but be respectful of laws and authority, including traffic regulations.
Friday's weather forecast looks encouraging, partly sunny, high 35. Wind gusts are common in downtown Chicago, and we might be standing around for a while, so dress warmly. By the way, you do know it's still February?

This will be fun. It will also be interesting to see how our the simultaneous events in two dozen other cities go. Looking forward to seeing you, Anne Leary and the other freedom loving reactionaries!
Where are you all meeting up? I might just join you! (Haven't seen the Freedom Folks in a couple of years, and it sure would be nice to reconnect.)
No thanks, I'd prefer a coffee
Party instead.
