About Sacramento's North Highlands

Photos - 9/12 Tea Party Rally in Sacramento, California

Yesterday, Bob and I rode our bike to the 9/12 Tea Party Rally at McClellan Park in North Highlands, near Sacramento, California. The weather was a perfect 85 degrees during the ride and until about 1:30pm or so...then it felt like 95 degrees on the asphalt! There were a variety of speakers who discussed politics, taxation, government, tea party history and the local chapters. Here is a photo that I took with my iPhone:

There are some definite benefits to riding a motorcyle to an event like this, like easy parking...but a couple of negatives I experienced were: I couldn't buy anything (well, Bob may not think of that as a negative!) because we don't have saddlebags on the bike and I didn't want to carry a backpack, and we couldn't bring any signs like some people did, like "You Can't Fix Stupid, But You Can Vote It Out." :)

Here is one take-away that I managed to carry home, a pocket version of The Constitution of the United States:

There was one particular thing about this event that was very noticeable...for as many people that were there, plus the fact that they served food (sandwiches, salads, chips, drinks) - we all left the place spotless and clean. There was no need for a clean-up crew, as everyone disposed of their garbage properly...that was impressive and it makes me proud of our fellow patriots who attended this tea party rally! :)

9/12 Rally in Sacramento, California - Tea Party Patriots / Nor Cal Tea Party Patriots

Bob and I are really looking forward to attending our first Tea Party...the 9/12 Rally hosted by the Tea Party Patriots and the Nor Cal Tea Party Patriots. The Sacramento 9/12 Rally will be held at McClellan Park (3140 Peacekeeper Way) from 11:00am - 2:30pm. The weather forecast says we will have a high of 85 degrees, so it will be a perfect day to ride the motorcycle to the rally! :)
