[...] “Tea Party Summary” — Reality Talk We at the Ohio Objectivist Society had a great time attending both the Canton and Cleveland tea parties. There were at least a thousand at the first, and at least twice that at the second. We brought about 60 copies of our booklet of reprinted essays, The Portable Objectivist, and 30 copies of Atlas Shrugged to hand out to interested individuals. I also made a few signs: ‘Ayn Rand Was Right’ — ‘Atlas Will Shrug’; ‘Who is John Galt’ — ‘Read Atlas Shrugged’; ‘Free the Market’ — ‘$’ [big green dollar sign]. [...]

Thanks for all your kind replies! This was definitely a huge learning experience for us.

William, at the very least it was an educational experience for you. We tried to avoid lengthy debates and discussions, thinking that we’re not going to change anyone’s mind in a few minutes. The signs were definitely the best thing for us, but we only found that out from experience.

This is so great! I’m smiling and my eyes are tearing up. I never thought I would be so emotional reading all the Objectivist Tea Party summaries I’ve seen thus far, but it just fills me with hope and makes me feel better about the people in this country.

I had to work yesterday, but if there are Tea Parties on July 4th, I cannot wait to participate! It sounds like you guys are doing everything right too, from the clear, easy to read signs, to your awesome brochure, the business cards and the free books. Yea!!!

Congratulations on a successful tea party! My experience while teaching was less successful:

I will do better in at future protests and hope to find some compatriots to go with me.

Brian, glad the events worked out so great for you! I’m sincerely sorry to have missed the one in Canton, my hometown of all places, but I was working.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this, and for posting pictures and a summary. I really appreciate your efforts on both accounts.
