Great Advice Cynthia Yockey.

The big media news is the Simon Group bluffing the Gwinnett County Tea Party into canceling the event scheduled for months in advance.

This revealed inexperienced soccer moms masquerading as political rally organizers. This is more of a battle in a war and these organizers thought it was just another picnic.

I do appreciate the investment of their time to organize all of this but when I receive an e-mail two weeks before the scheduled event claiming they spent an entire day and half trying to secure another location then canceled it with two weeks to go was very disappointing and WEAK.

They should have immediately recognized and questioned this management person at the Gwinnett Mall and threatened to show up at the designated time anyway and force the Gwinnett Mall to call the police which in turn would’ve generated huge media attention and exposed the Simon Group for the political activism that itself had engaged in.

A public boycott of all merchants at this mall in this economy would have caused the Simon Group to fold in a NY second.This Mall has been declining for years and this might have been a death blow to its future viability.

These Tea Parties are an excellent concept but the conservative grassroots need some training and not be so thin skinned.
