We had people from the Boerne Tea Party and the New Braunfels Tea Party Patriots as well as lots o people just concerned about the direction the country is headed in.

There were several tourist in the plaza who came up to us and asked us what we doing and many supported our efforts.

We as a group are not against any type of health care reform. We are just against the government takeover of our health care system.

There is so much fraud, waste and abuse in our current system. That needs to be cleaned up first and then take a look at what we can fix next. In science you make one change at a time and determine the results. If you just make all kinds of changes at once do you really know what worked and what didn’t?

We urge everyone out there to make your voices heard. You Have A RIGHT To Be Heard!

We had a good turnout despite the weather today.  We had a dozen hard core Patriots out there standing in the rain.  We got lots of honks and thumbs up from passing cars.

Joni Schmidt from the Boerne Tea Party was there with some of their group.  We even had someone drive all the way from Laredo just to show her support.

I was interviewed by WOAI and Fox 29 as well as KTSA 550a.m.   Watch the 5, 6 and 10 newscast for the interviews.

Thanks again to everyone who showed up and thanks to those who couldn’t make it but were there in spirit.

The time is 1:00 PM  We need as many Tea Party Patriots to show up and counter the lies they will telling.  We need to remind the congressman if he votes for a government run health care bill…he WILL be looking for a new job next year!

Members of the San Antonio Tea Party are tracking down local Congressmen and demanding Town Hall meetings on Healthcare reform.

More than a dozen protestors gathered Wednesday outside the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel, where Congressman Charlie Gonzalez addressed the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.

“They better grow some courage and they better look us in the face ’cause we ain’t going away. They’re going away in 2010 if they don’t start listening to us,” said Steve Baysinger.

Gonzalez says everyone will have their say on healthcare if it’s done in an appropriate way. He hopes to have a town hall meeting without the disruptions that have been occuring at other gatherings across the country.

“People say it’s freedom of speech. I’ve never heard of freedom of speech defined by denying other people their right to speak,” said Gonzalez.

Gonzalez says his office is organizing a tele-town hall, as well as a public meeting, perhaps as early as next week.

“We’re still trying to get the venue because we don’t know how many people are going to show up. And the other thing, too, is there are people who are very serious about having a constructive dialogue and then there are others that are there just to disrupt. You’ve got to figure out how you’re going to handle that,” Gonzalez said.

WOAI was also there. You can see their video here.

Protestors rally against Obama health care plan

Hundreds of protestors rallied on the steps of the Capitol Sunday, most demonstrating against President Barack Obama’s national health care initiative.Protestors chanted, “Kill the bill. Kill the bill.”

Only a handful of people were there to support the president’s plan.

“I’m a veteran. I would like to see everybody have a good health care program. That’d be fine, but find the money to pay for it and find the same one for the Congress and the Senate as they got for me and then I’d be happy,” San Antonio resident Amos Joel Jones said.

The crowd was estimated to be about 250 people
