What are you doing? Go to Tax Day Tea Party and get moving!
Eric Cranley live-tweeted. A sample:
A friend of mine brought his 5 year old son, holding a sign saying, “Even a 5 year old knows socialism is stealing”
Good sign: “Tar. Feathers. Washington. Now.”
“My recommendation is that people look no further than the halls of Congress to find the stench of pork”
Unlike the Los Angeles Times, the Cincinnati Enquirer actually covered the tax revolters without trashing them:
Thousands of people filled Fountain Square this afternoon for the Cincinnati Tea Party, a grassroots-effort designed to show their disapproval for bailouts and the massive federal stimulus plan.
People wore Revolution-era costumes and raised anti-bailout signs with messages like “Give us Liberty, not debt” and “No more bailouts.”
Sean Lynch was one of thousands who navigated the crowd.
“I’m frustrated with the way things are going in Congress. They need to remember that they work for us, and right now, we don’t approve,” said Lynch, of Colerain. “This is not a Democrat thing or a Republican thing. It’s a government thing.”
Lynch brought his children to the demonstration and hoped that one day, when they’re older, they’ll understand the importance of taking a stand. His 8-year-old, Isabel, held a “Stop spending my allowance” sign and 5-year-old Kate raised a “Stay out of my piggy bank” sign.
“I don’t think anything is going to change overnight,” Lynch said. “But this is a start.”
