We have identified 800+ protests on April 15 so far, and our research is not yet complete. This just includes the April 15 protests - and there have been dozens of other large protests already in many cities, plus many are being planned for future dates such as July 4. Our Surge by State feature also lists planned and prior protests as well as other resources by state. Don't forget to prepare for July 4, when more Tea Party protests are planned nationally on a "Learn the Constitution" theme related to the concepts of limited government and individual responsibility.
This total was updated as of 9pm CST April 28. We're still trying to add up all 800+ Tea Parties! We have added blank lines in the list below for many of the known Tea Parties for which crowd estimates have not yet been found. Thanks again for your patience as we try to compile a reliable analysis at the same time as we work to share information about preparations for future Tea Party celebrations.
(1 - 1.2 million total) = a couple dozen according to the MSM.

At the Fort Worth, Texas Tea Party I attended at LaGrave field, capacity 5100, the place was full.
Time for more protests.
Keep the pressure on.
“Pajamas TV quickly estimated the national turnout at 225,000+, but this was still very preliminary on the evening of April 15. By early afternoon on April 16, their total was over 280,000. By 8pm on April 18, as more cities were reported, their incomplete total was already up to nearly 640,000.”
Now PJTV has revised estimates of 940,000. There are still many tea parties, albeit smaller ones, in WA State that are not yet being counted on that site.
At our local TEA Party (outside of Houston) close to 1,000 came early, stayed late, used up all of my copies of a petition and were forced to use notebook paper, backs of other sheets of paper, not only did they NOT take my fountain pens, but left theirs in case we needed more. Two lines of people stood patiently in line to sign petitions for TWO SOLID HOURS.
Never in all my years of FReeping have I seen or met so many who are so willIng, so eager to take a stand. (BTW, our little community is only 10,000 residents!)
It’s coming. I smell it. They ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
use the politician’s formula of 10 at home for every one attending and suddenly you have 100,000,000 million to 120,000,000 who believe the government is out of control and obama and the democrats are bad for america.
