Sunday, 26 April 2009 - Well it has been a busy 10 days! Of course April 15th was the hugely successful TEA party. I want to give recognition to all the people who worked behind the scenes to keep the events in Marietta and Atlanta safe, peaceful and very well organized. A special Thank You goes to the truly grass roots organization of Claire Waldron (Cobb Coordinator) and Sherri Reese (State of Georgia Coordinator). Despite what Nancy Pelosi would have you believe, these two women were not the typical political powerbrokers you would expect to be at the head of a movement like this. They are just a couple of moms concerned about their children's future.
Special thanks Ralph "Right Wing Extremist" Bell for the photo montage.
Thursday evening April 23rd things got kind of rowdy at the Cobb County School District board meeting. A packed house let the fur fly as the board heard comments from parents on the new Standards Based Report Card (1-2-3 grading system) and the possible reduction of school bus routes. The meeting is repeated on a regular basis on Channel 24 on Comcast.
Saturday, April 25th, Senator Chip Rogers gave an end of session debriefing at his regular town hall meeting at the Mountain View public library. The session covered the legislative bills which were passed at the recently concluded session of the Georgia General Assembly.
Start making plans for the Cobb County 4th of July picnic and the 4th of July follow up TEA Party at the state capitol on July 4th. It's going to be even bigger and better. Check back here for details when they become available!
