-cont page 1- Civello, whoaspires to be a future senator.The tea parties were promoted byFreedomWorks,a conser- vative nonprofit advocacygroup. The parties were led byformer Republican HouseMajority Leader Dick Armey of Texas.I was a little angry at the factthat Barack Obama began aspeech at noon on reformingthe tax code -- the same timethat the Philadelphia tea party began -- stealing the newsspotlight. Even so, Fox Newswas there covering the story.We still have so much work todo, I realized, after leaving therally, freezing cold and sop- ping. With biased news net-works, the average, brain-washed citizen thinking of usas a mockery, and even tothose who think we don't mean business . . . We've got to keep going!I am so proud of everyone who bore the terrible weather tostand up for their rights as citizens of the United States of America -- nothing more, nothing less!
