Morristown Tea Party (New Jersey) - PHOTOS
self ^ | 4/15/09 | NewJerseyJoe

Posted on 04/15/2009 3:01:33 PM PDT by NewJerseyJoe

Hello folks. I attended the Tax Day Tea Party on the Morristown Green in Morristown, New Jersey. I left about halfway through because I wasn't feeling well -- also because I had to go back to my car anyway (thanks to Morristown's stupid 2-hour parking limit) and decided I'd beat the traffic.

I'll leave it to others to describe the speeches etc. However, I took many photos -- and I just got done putting them all up on Flickr! Enjoy.

BTW, I'm no expert in the "science" of estimating public crowds, BUT I have been responsible, many times, for counting attendance at my church -- and I know "approximately" what a block of 150 people looks like.

I walked around the Green a number of times, taking pictures... and my unofficial estimate is that there were at least 1,000 to 1,200 people there -- possibly as many as 1,500 to 2,000.

Anyone notice something about the signs?

What they signs tell us?

Each and every one was made by the person attending.

No billionaire funded orgs to pass out pre fab signs!

God Bless each person that took time out to represent me!

My two panorama composites alone should dispel the "300" myth - see
