Texas Governor Rick Perry was in town and the featured speaker at Rockwall’s TEA Party protesting high taxes July 4th on the steps of the Historic Courthouse in Old Town Rockwall.
Several hundred people showed up to the second TEA party held in Rockwall.
U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall and TX Rep. Jodie Laubenberg were among the other speakers.
I have to wonder what good these TEA Parties actually do, but at least they give citizens upset by high taxes a chance to express their opinions and voice their concerns.
Thank goodness for freedom of speech – which we can see they don’t have in Iran!

The TEA Parties aren’t as effective as they should be … the reason ??? … the folks who should be listening to the voices at these parties have their transmitters turned on and the receivers to OFF. The true effectiveness of the TEA Parties will come when it’s time to vote … get the folks out of office who have turned off their receivers.
