Today, despite the impending threat of thunderstorms, the Hartford Tea Party organization held our 3rd successful Tea Party raly in Hartford, Connecticut.
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.
Great, RaceBannon! Love to hear news about Tea Party events! We have another one coming up down here in Sarasota on June 28th!
Hope to see you at the GIANT Tea Party and Freeper Convention in DC in September! :)

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.
Business as usual comes to mind.
It's time for civil disobedience...or go home and wait for your number.
