Orange Beach Tea Party 2009 Surprise Speaker Judge Roy Moore
April 15, 2009 - Orange Beach, AL - When a spur of the moment
Tea Party popped up at Waterfront Park in Orange Beach, organizer Butch
Pardue didn't expect to have such a high-profile speaker. Judge Roy
Moore happened to be in Orange Beach on vacation and Pardue asked Judge
Moore to speak at the Tax-Day event.
The event didn't receive any publicity, and
was not even listed on the Tea Party websites that have sprung up over
the last few weeks. About 50+ area locals showed up for the event,
many of whom learned about the event from a small sign at the entrance
to Waterfront Park. Only the event organizers knew that Judge Moore
would be the guest speaker. Topics discussed included "out of control government
spending" to "burdening America's children with huge debt" to
"disparaging reports coming out of the Justice Department directed at
soldiers, right-to-lifers, and gun owners". Click on the slide show below to view pictures from the event.
