[Henchster]

CONGRATULATIONS! We are now up to ALL 50 states plus D.C., 485 cities, and can document no less than 602,000 and as many as 680,000 patriots took place in the greatest grass roots act of defiance since 1773!

EVERY state in the Union protested Washington D.C.'s tax and spend scheme.

You can check to see if your tea party is listed HERE if not, post a comment on this thread citing the city, state and headcount.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Again, that was the list as of 4/17/09 1500 PST, to get the latest update, stune your beeber HERE

[naturalborn]

Need to add Sioux City, IA at the Anderson Dance Pavilion along the Missouri River. 100+ attendees

Plus one lone protester in front of the Tyson Events Center, Sioux City, IA.

[squarebarb]

Wonderful! My favorite sign;

‘We are the people you have been stealing from’.

[Doogle]

good job, THANKS

[ToKillaMockingbird]

Florence, Alabama. Local newspaper (liberal rag) says 350, other attendees say 600-700, husband says definitely over 500.

[Zevonismymuse]

Santa Barbara, CA at Alameda Park. Police estimate 300-500; Santa Barbara News Press had us at 200. Great Crowd. Here is a short video clip:

Santa Barbara Tax Day Tea Party

[Henchster]

Thanks for all your help, and GREAT WORK!

[Jenny217]

Add 400 from the Lancaster PA Tea Party

[wtc911]

Folks are asking; "What do we do after the Tea Parties?"

I am (and have been) taking individual action.

Everywhere I go I carry loose tea bags. I leave one behind. At the bank, on the train, at the gas pump, at the library, especially at Borders Books.

I have left over a hundred so far. My favorite was a teabag looped over the ears of a life-sized cardboard figure of TOTUS in Union Station in DC. I pulled back and watched the reactions of passers-by. People do notice...and that is the point.

If hundreds of us did this (or thousands) in every state we could make it a "Kilroy Was Here" legend and drive the commie bastards crazy.

[skimbell]

What Tea Party...?

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?"

[FES0844]

WOW! Great sign!

[Airwinger]

Please add Laurel, Ms. our little town had 500+

[Tarpon]

I was at the Ft Meyers Fl Centennial Park tea party rally, we had about 3000 attendees at the packed rally.

[Maceman]

Where are your numbers from? I see there are low medium and high estimates, but are these numbers that were publicly reported, or just reports of Freepers who attended?

FWIW, Boston might actually be a little low at 1,700 although that’s close. I attended the 11am event in front of the State House. I’m not real practiced at estimating crowds, but I eyeballed it at around 500. I checked that with a cop on horseback, who estimated 800-1,000.

Then at 4pm there was a different event at a different Boston locale, at which WTTK radio host Michael Graham spoke. I understand from several sources (including, I think the number Michael Graham reported) that there were about 1,200.

So the combined total attendance was probably around 2,100-2,300.

[dynachrome]

Thanks for your work in compiling this list!

[JoSixChip]

Add Loveland Colorado at 1000+ as reported by the coloradoan. The coloradoan is a left wing rag so you can be sure the number is more. For the Fort Collins party, just 13 miles away from Loveland, they reported around 1000 when all other publications had it at over 2000. I and my wife were there and can say without a doubt that there were at least 2000 at the Fort Collins rally.

[manic4organic]

Add Fredricksburg, TX for 500. Saw it on a thread yesterday.

[Military family member]

I attended the events in Terre Haute, Indiana, and in Indianapolis. The number we were citing there was 238, although some placed it as high as 400.

In Indianapolis, the organizers used the number 10,000 several times, which is much greater than the 2,500 the Indiana State Police gave. I believe that number came from around 3 p.m., based on this video. I walked by the guy doing the first Interview around 3 p.m. At that time, there were only 2,500 there.

[Paleo Conservative]

Corpus Christi TX 800 800 800

That's just an estimate of the number of people there at any one time. The organizers of the Corpus Christi Tea Party at the T-Head had a voluntary sign-in poster. According to my sources there were over 1,500 signatures!
