I made a huge mistake in NOT video taping this, I forgot my tripod! However, I did take a few pictures.

We had 100 people at our highest with about 125 to 150 total attendees.

Considering it was supposed to be thunderstorms, I think it was great that we got 100 people in Hartford at 11 AM to 1PM, in th emiddle of the day, in the middle of the week!

Glad to hear you all had a positive effect on your gov.. Only when the masses take to the streets and threaten their jobs do they seem to want to act responsibly.

Wish I could have been there; big arbitrary, unreasonable, and unnecessary deadline at work today.

Very interested in Shiver on The River this Saturday, but I don’t own a boat or know anyone with a boat.

WooHoo!! Two great happens in a short time period - Your Tea Party and the FReepathon is over.

It’s real good to see Tea Parties continuing. It keeps them in front of the pols so they don’t forget us “little” people.

True...when they don't see us, it's out of sight, out of mind.

With due respect, good luck waiving you flags. Been there - done that. Who really cares, other than the choir?

It's time for civil disobedience...or go home and wait for your number.
