Veterans Park, Lafayette, LA. Estimated crowd of 300-400 folks. Lots of veterans. Rousing speeches, many signs. No TV coverage, but newspaper was there and will post link to pics.
Good time had by all and the crowd was very fired up!
Wow, we’re over in the Lake Charles area and missed it!!!!
There are several of us in our office that have been talking about a tea party and would probably have been there had we known.
We tilled up some ground for our garden today and reloaded a bunch of ammo, but we would have made the time to be there had we known. We’ll support ya 110% on future events.
Good job Louisiana! Are there any plans for another gathering on April 15th?
Thank you so much for the link to the Louisiana Tea Parties on April 15th. We are discussing which to attend ... I’m leaning toward Baton Rouge because it’s at the capitol and that is more symbolic, but Shreveport is a shorter drive.

We went to La Grande Bucherie at St Martinsville. Had a great time.
People in Lafayette are quite conservative and free-market oriented, but some still have a favorite government program here and there to defend to the death.
Yes, but the American people don’t know that and never will admit as such.
