The short rally encouraged people to focus on Election Day and the upcoming Senate races.
The Tea Party Express rolled into Brecksville Friday evening—and departed soon after with little fanfare. The tour’s Ohio location had been up in the air until Friday morning, and the short notice led to a small crowd. About 30 people had gathered in the city’s municipal parking lot by the time the rally began around 5:25 p.m. Members of the audience mentioned the short notice, and many said they came out because they want change in the government. Don Lastoria, owner of the BP gas station in Brecksville, said the country is “really upside down right now.” As a small business owner, taxes are making it difficult for him to keep going. Lastoria said he wants to look at different sides of both parties. “We definitely need change,” said Katie…

Roughly 3.500 people filed into Falls River Square to hear from politicians like Ohio Treasurer and U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel, U.S. Congressman Jim Renacci, "Joe the Plumber" and more.
Tea Party rallies are not for the faint of tongue. On Sunday, roughly 3,500 conservative folks poured into Falls River Square to attend the "Rescue America Tax Day Rally" and express their views on everything from tax reform and deficit issues to domestic oil drilling and restricting the government's reach in free markets. People waved signs, dressed in their best red, white and blue duds and cheered for each politician who hit the main stage. Several local right-wing groups set up tents and spread their messages as well. "We're here to retire President Barack Obama, (Sen.) Sherrod Brown, (Rep.) Betty Sutton and others who are running this country into the ground," said Akron Tea Party member Tony Ziehler. "It's about changing the …

Crowd of 500 greets speakers
Perhaps it was 95-degree weather or being smack in the middle of a holiday weekend, but the Tea Party Express, in its only Ohio stop, drew just a few hundred people to its “pre-game” event, despite predictions by local politicos that the event would draw up to 5,000. Speakers featured “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher, Mrs. Ohio and Claver Kamau-Imani, a conservative black Republican who spearheads Raging Elephants. The three were part of a group that spoke to a docile audience that preceded the 5 p.m. arrival of the Tea Party Express. No protestors arrived to protest the event at All Pro Frieght Stadium. Speakers earned polite applause. Joe the Plumber, who gained notoriety during the 2008 presidential election after he was videotaped …

Heres the truth, it doesnt matter who gets in. The office of the president is a complete joke. Neither care for the people ( except the rich). Wall street controls the strings!!! If they did care, one of the first things they would do, they would take oil off commodities!!! more ›
