First Place! The Cobb GOP Float Wins Top Honors During the Marietta 4th of July Parade
Herman Cain Broadcasts During the July 3rd TEA Party at Jim Miller ParkJuly 4th 2009 - with the current economic crisis and the growing dissatisfaction with Washington's addiction to unadulterated spending, this years July 4th celebration took on an activist tone. Things started off Friday evening at Jim Miller Park where Herman Cain broad cast his popular radio show from 7 to 9 PM. The event was attended by a surprising large crowd of 7,000 people. It was one of over 1300 TEA parties scheduled to take place this weekend to protest government spending. The event was free to the public and many of the families there I spoke with were stopping by on their way out of town for the 4th of July weekend.
The fun continued on July 4th with the 4th of July Parade down Roswell Street in Marietta. The Cobb GOP Float took 1st place. Congratulations to Trisha Pridemore and the Float Team!
After the parade the Cobb County GOP held their annual Barbecue at Jim Miller Park. It included a salute to the armed forces, and speeches by all 5 candidates for governor. There were also speeches by candidates for Secretary of State, Insurance Commissioner, Agriculture Secretary, Lt. Govenor, etc. It makes one wonder if there is still such a thing as an off election year.
In contrast to the national party, the State GOP party is well stocked with candidates with political experience and should do well in next years 2010 state races.

Gwinnett Tea Party to Merge With Cobb
21 June 2009 - As protesters fill the streets of Tehran today, many of us here in the States prepare to celebrate that day when our country took similar actions to secure our freedoms. It is an inherent part of our Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" and that "whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it".
Our prayers are with you.
In a somewhat related issue, the Gwinnett Tea Party has been forced to cancel, and they will be joining us here in Cobb County to make celebration even bigger and louder. Herman Cain will be joining us, so you know it will be good!
Please see the attached memo from my good friend Debbie Ellis-Dooley:
Debbie Ellis-Dooley sent a message to the members of Atlanta Independence Day Tea Party.

ATLANTA TEA PARTY TO JOIN WITH COBB FOR METRO-WIDE TEA PARTY JULY 3RD
Atlanta Tea Party in Gwinnett forced to cancel
Suwanee, GA. - The Atlanta Tea Party was forced to cancel it's Independence Day celebration in Gwinnett, after losing it's location due to the objection of Gwinnett Place Mall (a Simon company.) The Tea Party had been scheduled to take place in the parking lot of the old Macy's building at Gwinnett Place since March.
"It is unfortunate the event had to be canceled," said Julianne Thompson, event co-organizer. She continued, "The old Macy's building is on private property, and not owned by Simon Malls, however the mall manager asked the property owner and I to come in the office on Thursday of this week, and told us Simon does not want political events on it's property. They were also concerned about the fact we were using the term "protest." Although the event was on private property, the mall was able to assert authority on the matter due to reciprocal property easement agreements."
Event Co-Chair Debbie Dooley stated, "Our Atlanta Tea Party team tried for the next day and a half to find an alternative location large enough for the event, and with the proper layout for our vendors, children's activities, and fireworks show, but we could not find anything suitable that would have been available on July 4th."
Thompson said, The Atlanta Tea Party organizers want to thank everyone in Gwinnett who worked hard to try to make this event a success: Judi Quigley, Bill Simon, Mark Williams (Printing Trade Company,) Kathy Hildebrand, Theresa Kenerly, Brett Harrell, and George Thorndyke (who was graciously allowing us to use his property free of charge, and sponsoring fireworks.) I also want to thank the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District for welcoming us to the area, and the Gwinnett and 7th District GOP for promising volunteers for the event."
Dooley stated, "The most important thing to do at this point is to stay on message, so we are joining forces with the Cobb for a large metro-area Tea Party on Friday, July 3rd, at 6 PM. The event is at Jim Miller Park at 2245 Callaway Road in Marietta. For information on the event, contact Cobb organizer Ben Mihalski at 770-726-7188, or visit http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.cobbteaparty.com ."
If you are not in the Metro Atlanta area, then please attend a Tea party near you. For more information, please visit http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.teapartypatriots.org
Thompson added, "The Atlanta Tea Party has a great team and is already planning for the July 17th Tea Party Patriots Protests at Congressional offices all across Georgia over nationalized health care. We will work hard to make sure our voices are heard and our message is clear."
