Some of the videos from the DC Tax Day Tea Party.


I have a bunch more, and I will be putting them up, but four and I’m bleary-eyed. They’re also mostly after the fold.

This is Rebecca Wales, one of the organizers of the event, and also affiliated with Smart Girl Politics. She had a busy day.


These two are K & K (or K & C, or C & C). They were fairly representative of the younger folks – of which there were a goodly number, indeed – on the site today:

This is Jennifer. She’d like to remind you that a tax on tobacco is a tax on the poor:

This one is from the recap (I lasted not much longer than this, thanks to the mud):

BOSTON: POWER to the people; REAL TEA DUMP IN THE ORIGINAL HARBOR

Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Wednesday, April 15th at 8:53PM EST (link)

God bless their souls. From Boston, the sweetest young girl organized a Boston Common Rally (if you know her, ask if she wants a husband and would like to flea to Texas).

It was kind of bad at first. People were skattered. By the end , enough people were committed. There was a group. Because there was a group, more people came to the group. The sheep mentality came on our side after a while. People slowly exposed themselves. And then because there was a group, more. came. I tell you, it went from nothing, to a group of fifty, to a group of a hundred, to a gorup of thousands, POWER TO THE PEOpLE – yeah that for Laura.

We ended up rocking it. AWESOME DAY.

Yeeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!

Can you tell, I’m fired up folks. We did it. the media was so nonchalant at first. The ACORN and Union thugs look they were ready to start trouble on a dime. But minute after minuter after minute they came. The yenemy was vanquished. They sat back and listened to M. Graham lecture them while we FINALLY asstered ourselves. The media was dumbfounded.

Power to the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where Are Those Numbers Coming From - The AP

At one point in time, (actually a long time) there was no rally in Boston. Somebody could of reported it as a 20-30 people with journalistic integrity. But man, by about seven P.P. Eastern time, the horizon was nothing bu “Don’t Tread On Me Flags”

It got real big fast. Once people knew it was for real, they came out. Kids, vets, soldiers and all.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great day in Raleigh, NC

Not sure of the numbers. The south lawn of the Capital was covered. In some
areas you could not move.
Swamp_yankee, I met a wonderful couple and their two young children that
were visiting from Boston. They decided to drop in on our tea party on their
vacation. They would make you proud.
You know…..they all would have made you proud.

 

Great Job Moe

I regret not reaching out and touching base with you downtown today. But glad it went well, not only in DC, but countrywide.

It was wet.
