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!

And besides, after reading post #52, I believe mine was funnier.

OK, you get points for pleading your case well.

I’d put you in charge of joke tallies, but you’d only count yours! {;^)

To everyone who FReepmailed me:

Yes, I added your numbers.

I would prefer that you simply post to this thread, as it gives me one less thing to keep checking, AND, it keeps the thread bumped, so more can see it and chime in.

Thanks!

Had a GREAT time in Rome, NY. What really stood out was there was no turning over cars, breaking windows, or profanity. Not only that but as we were leaving, I noticed there was NO litter on the grounds at Fort Stanwix where it was held. Yup, 1000 people and no litter. What a contrast from the litter that was shown on the news left behind after the fake Messiah’s campaign rallies!

Henchster, Great Work!

Please put Springfield, MA back to 300
Billg64 and I were both there, I counted group 3 times and that was the high - no one left until 6pm.

Police didn’t even show - although one squad car [captain] came through the post office driveway - but I think he was mailing his return...LOL

Before we issue the final report do we want to go through the numbers at the Tax Day Tea Party and Pajamas Media and get estimates for towns they have and we don’t?

That’s amazing - and a huge change from just 5 years ago when we were there.

I remember the high property taxes - it drove us away and back to CA! (Well, to be honest - it was mountains we missed.) But we do pay less in total property tax plus state income tax here than we did in property taxes alone in Flour Bluff. (And I see our old house is now valued at something ridiculous like $350,000 so those poor buyers are paying double taxes that we paid).

Well, it’s good to hear that the area is gettin’ smart! We had some good times there. And nice memories.

Down in Ft Lauderdale about 25 years ago, there was an annual pro-life rally with about 500 right in the middle of downtown, and what got on the front page the next morning? A large picture of 5 pro-abortion womyn holding a coat hanger!

Thanks, I grabbed some more, but a lot of them had city names and no states, so if any FReepers can figure out where they are, post them here.
