More than 15,000 people from Bakersfield to Modesto gathered at the International Agri-Center Saturday for the Freedom Rally Tea Party Saturday.
The event had several speakers, talking about their viewpoints of the country's government.
“We believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility and the free market and think that’s something Americans should get behind,” said Jared Gordon, Central Valley Tea Party spokesperson.

I started off in Bakersfield where MAMA BEAR and about 20 or so cars formed a parade on the way in. The main event had lots of bands but it was so loud I hung out most of the time at the FreeRepublic Booth.I had a Great time talking with JimRob! Here's a few more pictures.
Inside the Main building looking West.
I figured I'd include this Black lady with her sign, if only to make it harder for certain Celebrities (that I shall not name) to claim we are all racists.
Lots of families were there, they even had places for the future terrorists to play.
A fellow was traveling the crowd with his pet pig. A little bit of photoshop trickery done on my part to highlight our congressional friend.
This fellow attracted quite a crowd with his spot on sign. Notice all the cars in the background. Quite a walk for some!

Here’s the Fresno Bee’s take on the historical patriotic event:
“The events are meant to harken back to the Boston Tea Party, and organizers consistently say they are nonpartisan affairs. Yet it took only moments to recognize that many in the crowd at the Ag Center were no fans of President Barack Obama and policies generally associated with Democrats.”
NSS!

Can’t get anything past the sharp eyed news reporters at the Fresno Democrat, er, Bee. Wonder why they’re going belly up?

There’s nothing partisan about being patriotic, you Fresno Bee twit! Obama is an admitted anti-American, anti-Liberty, anti-capitalism Marxist! Look it up!

Should be. Hundreds of people filed by our table and many of them took flyers or cards.

...the crowd at the Ag Center were no fans of President Barack Obama and policies generally associated with Democrats.Seeing as how most of the people are mad at the feds and the RATS are running the show that's a necessary outcome. They might have added quite a few were mad at Arnold too, but I suppose that would alter the template too much.

Is anyone keeping a running total of the attendance at all of the 4th of July Tea Parties? Someone did for the April 15th ones and the total attendance was pretty impressive.

My estimate is that only about 400 attended the Tea Party in Austin, Texas. That would be only about 10% of the attendance of the April 15 Austin Tea Party. I wonder what the national total is. Glad to hear aboiut the Tulare event.
