Thanks to everyone who made it down to the Capitol in Denver last Tuesday for the Tea Party counter-rally to an SEIU organized "Wisconsin Union Solidarity" rally.
Our spontaneous event was a great success. If you weren't able to make it, you can read all about it on the Northern Colorado Tea Party (http://www.northerncoloradoteaparty.com/blog/2011/02/23/tea-party-v-seiu-in-denver-madness/) blog by clicking here. It's worth the read, as this blog post includes links to lots of tremendous video clips and all media coverage.
On Saturday, MoveOn.org and the SEIU ran a 50 state effort hosting "Union Solidarity" rallies nationwide. A formal counter-rally was not organized, due to the rally on Tuesday, but a few Tea Partiers did make their presence known, including my good friend, Elliot Fladen. A YouTube video of Elliot taking on the entire MoveOn/SEIU rally has gone viral with over 15,000 hits in 48 hours. Please take a few minutes to watch this incredible video where Elliot literally becomes the speaker of their pro-Public Employee Union rally - and they may have been booing, but they were also listening to his rational argument. This local video made it all the way to BreitbartTV! I would also like to give huge kudos the State Troopers and Denver Police Department who took their job of defending Elliot's right to free speech seriously. They did a phenonmenal job!
