Is this what ails America, or is this America?COLUMBUS, OHIO (AGC News) Despite the cool misty April air 2,500 men, women and children showed up with their signs, their voices and their enthusiasm to make a statement. Last month 250 people rallied at the first Columbus Tea Party. This evening that amount increased ten-fold. People were serious about their displeasure with the President and the 111th Congresses' actions taken these last 100 days. The signs as one speaker, local radio personality Dirk Thompson, indicated, that the signs help up by many in the crowd were the 'teleprompters' that spoke loud and clear - stop the bailouts, stop the stimulus, stop the pork, stop the move to socialism, respect the constitution, and respect future generations by avoiding saddling them to burdensome senseless debt, and preserve the values that made America great in the first place including our Christian heritage.

Former Congressman John Kasich spoke for a little less than 10 minutes. Chants of "Run, John, Run" cascaded through the crowd, before and after he spoke. It was obvious many in the crowd want him to replace the liberal darling, liberal spending, and not so reverend, Governor Ted Strickland.

Speaker after speaker indicated that this evening's TEA Party Protest/Rally was just the beginning, an early stage of a movement to take back America from the radicals who wrested it away from an apathetic, disengaged electorate. I understand that perhaps the next big event will be an Independence Day Tea Party, which makes a whole lot of sense. In the meantime, it is incumbent upon all of us to do all we can to tell the 'Yes, We Can' crowd by our resistance and activism, 'Not so fast,' and 'No, You Don't!'
