More than 2,000 people are expected to converge in Downtown Peoria on Wednesday to protest what they believed to be out-of-control government spending during a tax day “tea party,” a modern spinoff of the Boston Tea Party.
No streets are being closed. Police said since organizers of several groups involved said they plan to move around and not rally in one place.
The event will start at 11 a.m. in the Peoria Public Library parking lot at Southwest Monroe and Hamilton streets. It is largely organized by the Campaign for Liberty. Protesters will walk from the federal courthouse to Peoria County Courthouse and around. It's part of a nonpartisan nationwide effort that will take place in more than 500 cities.
Anyone is invited to attend.”
Thanks for posting. My dad was there and said there was quite a turnout.
