I only uploaded those pictures here which from what I have seen are unique. I am so glad I made the trip to the capital to attend this event. I will only put a handful of pictures on display here because they are so large, but feel free to use any of these. Browse my profile on take back usa for the rest of the photos. After seeing this sign, I quietly hummed the teapot song to myself, I couldn't help it. This was incredibly creative. Captain America's flag was so big he had to anchor it to his waist....

Can't find a live thread yet--so I'm posting this one! Checked out the DC traffic cams first thing this morning, and the crowds are building up. I hope this rally passes the 912 Rally in attendance! :-) 10:52 am EST

Obama is the Taxman

Thousands of taxpayers from across the nation are planning to descend on the White House Thursday, and a million more are expected to take their fight against excessive spending, growth of big government and soaring deficits to more than 700 rallies in U.S. cities this week. Tea Party Patriots estimates that there are currently 737 Tax Day tea party events scheduled by local organizations across the nation. The group offers a list of many of the events for those interested in attending and a zip code search feature to find local rallies. Also, FreedomWorks, leading organizer of the Washington rally,...

Two days remain until Tax Day, when the post office will weather a windfall of last-minute tax forms and cities across the nation will witness the ill wind that is the Tea Party Pretenders. And it blows no good. Local Tea Partiers will rally in Hamilton on April 15, doing their best to put the bitter in the Bitterroot. They will raise the flag and tout the Constitution, calling themselves “patriots.” In protesting taxes, they are anything but. Vice President Joe Biden called it right: Paying taxes is patriotic. Yes, shelling out a few more bucks can feel painful, but...

Efforts are being made to have a number of tea party rallies disrupted by people who are opposed to the legit goals of the tea party movement.

I'm putting together a list of as many local Tea Party events that I can find information on. If you know of any, please let me know, and I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

Really, it was only a matter of time before the anarchists realized that their number was up in the Left’s quiet draft to raise an army to intimidate and oppose tea party activists. A web site called Infoshop News – described on its banner as offering “anarchist news, opinion and much more” – is issuing a rallying cry to its readers to begin organizing aggressive counterdemonstrations to pushback against a tea party movement that growing across the country. Specifically, Infoshop News is signaling that April 15 protests will be a major focus of their efforts, a day when tea parties...

How are the people to react to the erosion of liberty that is the Obama health care regime? To be sure, lawyers will challenge it in the courts, and November is right around the corner, giving opportunity to punish those traitorous politicians who acquiesced to the debasement of our Constitution. This is all to the good. But we cannot count on lawyers and politicians. God help us if we do. We the people in our righteous anger must take matters into our own hands: It is time for a strike. The only peaceable protest that could possibly have any effect...

I am wondering who is going to the April 15th Tea Party in Washington DC. I have not seen much info on it yet, but did hear a hint on Fox News last night. I have a fairly good number of people willing to go, but do not want to go if there isn't going to be thousands there. Not with the first timers coming along. Interesting thing...most of the new protesters are college kids! And, I know that at least half of them were/are democrats who are outraged at the health care bill passed! If anyone has info on...

On-Line Tax Revolt March on Washington Set! A Call to ActionOur campaign has put into motion a powerful On-line Tax Revolt March on Washington, D.C. culminating April 15th in the largest American tax protest event since the Boston Tea Party. It can't come a moment to soon. Over last year there has been a re-awakening of the American tradition of the citizen’s voice in politics and public policy. From coast to coast and in every state people have come together to demand a better government—and a real voice in our government's policies and practices. There is real and legitimate anger...

Had enough yet? Rick Reiss Friday, May 22nd, 2009. Big government proponents frequently remind us that taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society. This line is actually attributed to the former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. While true in some respects, our current tax system is anything but civilized. America now has a government riding roughshod over people and businesses with even higher taxes and more rules and regulations. It is only fitting to remember a quotation by another famous American jurist. “That the power to tax…” wrote US Supreme Court Justice John Marshall “involves the...

WASHINGTON -- Last month's nationwide "Tea Party" demonstrations -- protesting massive government spending increases and rising taxes -- were minimalized by the national news media. Liberal big-government groups dismissed them as the work of right-wing advocacy organizations in Washington and claimed that the events were so dispersed, most of them in small cities and towns, no one could be sure how many had actually turned out to attend them. More than 600,000 people in nearly 600 localities -- from Bakersfield, Calif., to Atlanta, Ga. -- turned out to vent their anger over the Democrats' massive-spending levels. And a rally-by-rally account...

Tax protest in Temecula Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly member Rick Reiss, dressed as a President Barack Obama tax zombie, waves to motorists in Temecula during an anti-tax rally Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Hundreds of protestors joined the assembly on the corner of Ynez and Rancho California Roads to express their disapproval of state and federal tax bills.

Could the humble tea bag slingshot the Republican Party into the 21st century? The week's biggest news frenzy, beating out Somali pirates and Bo, the first family's new hypoallergenic ball of fur, came courtesy of the modern-day tea party tax protest. It's probably the most exciting thing to happen on April 15 since the Titanic sank back in 1912. And we here at the Insider were grateful for something to distract us from the prospect of last-minute tax filing. In San Mateo, a tea party to protest rising federal spending was held on a thin strip of sidewalk in front...

We've been monitoring how the networks are covering the tea parties today (via TV Eyes).

And...

Please post what is happening at your tea party here, your location and attendance...and as always, lots of pictures:)

If Democrats write them off, the new sons and daughters of liberty may be instant-messaging their way into power.
