Delmarva Residents Join The Nation For A "Tea Party"

Two hundred thirty five years after Boston, Americans across the nation are having another tea party. More than 2,000 cities are rallying on tax day including one right here on Delmarva in Georgetown. All of the protesters are spreading the same message, they've been "taxed enough already".

"We're having a peaceful protest against excessive taxation and asking our elected representatives to spend our money more responsibly," said Donna Gordan, one of the event's planners.

"They're putting our grandkids and great-grandkids into debt just through the spending, the needless spending. That's what we're here for," said protester Eric Anderson.

Protesters say they may not be dumping tea, but their message is just as important. They say the government is spending too much and corporations shouldn't be getting bailed out. One protester says taxes will have to be raised to pay off the growing national debt.

"It's going to fall on all of us. Those of us who go to work everyday, those of us who don't ask anything from the government, and those of us who pay our taxes," said Gordan.

Protesters in Georgetown say they are ready for change, and not the kind jingling in your pocket. Protesters plan to picket every tax day until their voices are heard.

It was easy to pick you out, for I know of no other, who would get all dressed up and forget to leave his shovel at home.

Laughter.

Wish I could have been there in person, the electricity in the air, from all the minds working with a purpose, must have been wonderful to experience.

Americans are so wonderful.
