Love ya man, but Bellevue WA did not have 1000 people. I was there from before 4:30 until after 6:00 (the scheduled times). We counted 250+ around 5:00, I would dare say it maybe got to 300+ at it's peak.

Is there someone else claiming more?

I also attended the Renton WA one at noon and your 100 is about right. Again, we did a rough count and came up with about that total.

Thanks for putting this all in one place.

Aha!

About 250 people showed up at the “Dixon Tea Party,” with lawn chairs, kids in wagons and flags flying. For 60 minutes, a steady flow of demonstrators took the stage to air their grievances about the economy, bailouts, illegal immigration ... about money.

LOVE your idea. I gotta start doing that..........let’s make it a movement!

[Henchster]

Thank you, Bellevue has been updated since we don’t want any “million” moron-march numbers.

...This is a true grassroots movement...

Isn't it ironic that Obama and his staffers cited the "grassroots movement" for being responsible for his success? They also extensively utilized the Internet, knowing that it was a very viable way to stimulate people's support.

Now the TEA party grassroots phenomenon has emerged and people have unitedly realized that they have been misrepresented beyond their will. These people did not need any central organization to bolster them. There was no one association association, person, corporation, media sponsor, or even any government funds utilized to get them to turn out to protest today's administration, the decisions of Congress, and the theft of our money and freedoms. This was the people - across the country - unitedly speaking out loudly and much more definitive to our President and Congress than ever before. Yet Obama says he was "unaware" of the TEA party protests!

Unaware??? Hogwash! No one who relied so heavily on the same sort of response from the grassroots for his campaign could be "unaware" of the current response by the grassroots AGAINST what the Government and Obama are pushing down our throats.

Never in our country's history, so early in a president's term, have so many spoken out so forcefully in assembly to protest what is coming out of Washington under this new administration.

[AmericanArchConservative]

Clarkston, Washington (state), population 10,000
A twin city with Lewiston, Idaho, population 33,000

Tea Party attendance: minimum 1,100; maximum - 1,300!

Also have reliable report from Pullman, Washington of 150 minimum, and Moscow, Idaho reports 400 minimum.

Add them up!

A.A.C.

[Henchster]

You need to start a separate thread for that great idea!

I’m buying a BIG box of tea bags tomorrow!

[wtc911]

Thanks. I did.

Need to get the word out.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well then! I watched the video and I THINK I located my extremist contact friend on there! WHOO HOOO!!!

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!

Nice to hear my old town had a tea party! I know you're in the midst of liberal there, so that's great that one was held. We have about the same population here (Bakersfield), but had close to 5000. Having just had a huge tax increase really brought out the Californians!

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.

AWESOME idea! Gotta go shopping....
