Tom’s River, NJ turns out under the stars

A crystal clear night when you could see your breath!  One lone star in the sky and hundreds more on fluttering flags marked tonight’s rally  in Tom’s River where some 400 or so patriots came out to encourage and be encouraged.  We put on a show and had a ball.  Even George Washington was pleased! It was no trick on this Halloween night that New Jerseyites turned out in droves to treat us to a warm reception!  Among those in the crowd – Fabrizio Bivona,  a firefighter and paramedic for the City of New York who worked inside the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.  Author of the book about the experience “Gone But Not Forgotten”

America’s Renaissance

While our Sunday morning rally in Harrisburg, PA was taking place on the steps leading to the State Capitol, I stepped inside the impressive domed building to poke around.  Glad I did.  Pennsylvania’s Capitol building is touted as a priceless artistic and architectural treasure.  They’re not kidding.  This place is beautiful.  It features stained glass, paintings and furnishings by some of the best artisans of the day.  The building’s centerpiece is a spectacular 272-foot, 52-million pound dome inspired by Michaelangelo’s design for St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

 

Miss Kylie Kremer, daughter of Tea Party chairman Amy Kremer, accompanied me inside.  Kylie’s all dressed up for All Hallow’s Eve as lady Liberty.  Appropriate, don’t you think?

Legend has it that when President Theodore Roosevelt attended the dedication of the building on October 4, 1906, he said, “This is the handsomest building I ever saw.”

Take a look at Pennsylvania’s governmental seat  and see if you don’t agree.
