What did you guys think of the speakers?
At a Libertarian Party meeting I went to tonight, the guys did a recap of the Revolt and were disappointed at the media coverage (and that's probably a huge understatement). The media covered the tables outside the protest meeting, but didn't talk to the organizers of the event or any of the speakers of the event. The video clips also seemed to make it look like it was a very Libertarian event, but it really crossed all the party platforms -- primarily Republican and Libertarian, but there were some Democrats there as well.
Also, as a side note, I was told that an event like this doesn't usually generate a lot of attendance by the legislators. Most of them have committee meetings scheduled well in advance that may conflict with the time slot. Also, it was pointed out that if someone was protesting against YOU, would you really want to be there to listen to them complain about all the things you've done that they've hated?
