Tea Party backers gather in Jasper (Georgia)

SNIP - Armed with a musket, William Temple of Brunswick joined more than 300 people who converged on the Chattahoochee Technical College campus in Jasper Saturday to defend what they see as the American dream.

Sponsored by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and the Tea Parties of North Georgia, the Defending the American Dream Summit drew a mix of younger and older activists.

“The American dream is all about striving to be the best you can be,” said Mark Taylor, a 16-year-old student from Savannah. “And when we talk about prosperity, it is not material prosperity, it is prosperity of ideas and free thought.”

The Tea Party movement is picking up steam, attendees said. “The more people get disgusted with what is going on in Washington the more people will come to the Tea Party,” said Cheryl Espy-Dalton, 68, of the Clayton County 9/12 Tea Party.
