Tax day tea party!
Today I had a few hours between classes, so I headed down to Boston Common for the Tax Day Tea Party! All I can say is that I am so glad I decided to go. There was a crowd of what seemed like about 1000 people gathered near the State House, holding awesome signs, waving flags, sitting on the steps, milling around, handing out literature, speaking to reporters, and standing up for liberty! I could hardly hear the speakers (who included Michael Graham and Carla Howell) but just being in the presence of so many liberty-loving Americans was one of the coolest things ever. In attendance were people of all races and all ages, from little kids to teenagers to adults to old people. Some were wearing period costumes, some had anti-Obama and anti-tax t-shirts, and most just looked like regular people. There were not only people active in the liberty movement, but also people who stopped by during their lunch break or who just saw the protest and decided to join in. The Tea Party made me proud to be from Boston and gave me hope for America.
The media is giving Boston’s Tea Party, as well as the other ones all around the country, a lot of attention! I saw reporters and camera crews from Fox News and CNN, among many others. Check out these articles: CNN, Fox News, and CBS. I took some pictures myself, which will be posted tonight when I have time to make thumbnails, some of which you are looking at now.

Hooray for liberty!!!
