April 15, 2009 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Despite a concerted effort by the MSM to ignore and or belittle the burgeoning conservative Tea Party movement, on this bright April tax day at least 1,200 citizens showed up in the belly of the beast, San Francisco, to protest the Obama administration.
Led by a citizen coalition including KSFO firebrand talker Melanie Morgan, the group assembled in front of Civic Center and then marched on Speaker Pelosi's office at 450 Golden Gate Avenue.
In dramatic contrast to this city's normal lefty rent-a-mob protests which are usually mass produced events and underwritten by union thugs or the international Marxist movement, this one was a truly organic do-it-yourselfer, featuring colorful hand-lettered signs. Of particular note, the protesters conducted themselves with good cheer and demonstrated a level of civility not often seen on San Francisco's anarchic political landscape.
Size Of San Francisco Tea Party Protest Shows Obama's In Hot Water
Baghdad by the Bay Tea Party bump!
We had perhaps 270 near the Walnut Creek Bart. I’m knackered.
I dithered about attending SF, then decided against it.
But on my way home from my kids’ horse camp, there was a group from the SF protest standing on the exit ramp area. I asked the kids if they wanted to stop and help them out and got a plurality of “yeah!”s.
So we stopped and stood with them for 20 minutes or so. Lots of honk and thumbs up there in Marin.
good work to everyone. I bet we got more than a third of a million out there. Next time lets shoot for a half million!
Great signs! There were also some great signs at our Santa Barbara Tea Party. It was wonderful to see the wide spread age range as well as difference in circumstance such at parents with their very young children, singles, young and middle aged couples, as well as older folks. Equal mix of male and female. God bless our country. It was great to see people come together today to exercise their free speech rights. As someone hollered at the end and the crowd cheered and reiterated, “This is not the end. This is the beginning.” Yes it is.
PJTV is trying to get a tally and they’re up to almost 210,000 and they’re still counting. I know they’re missing some altogether.

That would put attendance close to the number of people who signed up on the 9/12 project website?
there were more tea parties than they think I bet
Why aren’t Pelosi and Waxman in trouble? If the San Franciscans really want to do something worthwhile, then give them their walking papers in Nov. 2010.

4. I tried to fix my dad's PC but now it's more knackered than ever.
Last I looked St Augustine wasn’t even listed but Sniper estimated a thousand or more.
I think we’re looking at well over 300,000 people.
I think I was all of those....

lets plan the next one for July 4
I think many more than are signed up on Beck’s site.
Enough to send ACORN scurrying back under their rotting logs apparently.
Whew!
I would love to hear what her majesty had to say about you protesting her. LOL Great job, guys!!!!!!
I LOVE your photo report...most especially those beautiful faces that the main stream media types (ie paul begala, anderson, couric, you name the lying liberal freak of choice) calls rich conservative white folks....wow...what creeps we have for news network reporters these days.
I especially love the woman and her poster that reads " Socialism is an Obamanation " JUST PERFECT!
