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!
“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.”
I think “Who is John Galt?” would make a better analogy.
Port St. Lucie Florida had 2 parties, one had 600 the other had about 200. Please add the second party! I was at both. Thanks!!
do what the left does and say it was 2 million.
I need a city for that!
Effingham, IL 300-400 or more! Great group!
FReepers at work.
There were 2200 scheduled parties. This doesn’t account for the parties that weren’t reporting. Therefore:
2200 rallies x 500 per rally = 1,100,000
Don’t be fooled by the Lefties. America has spoken! And loudly!
Chico, CA had at least 500 people (local paper said 300-600).
Shakopee, MN. Home of Valley Fair and Canterbury Downs!
Stroudsburg, PA 454
Easton, PA 100
I think your list is missing MANY small towns. There will be no way to get a count of everyone.
Which seven states didn’t host parties? :)
our local paper said 3000 at the Prescott, AZ rally.
“I think your list is missing MANY small towns. There will be no way to get a count of everyone.”
I know there are a bunch missing. We could volunteer a freeper from each state to dig them out of the news. I’ll do Oregon if you’d like.
Awesome news...and “ABCNNBCBS” thinks it’s “no big deal”.
That is more people that attended THEIR big deal..the (so-called) Million Man March.
And FReepers were on the front lines in nearly all cases!
We made a difference! Now...we HAVE to make a difference in 2010! This is a real good start for REAL change!
Don’t see Pleasanton, Fairfield, Vacaville, CA here either - they would have had over 3,000 combined.
It was estimated that over 800 tea parties were held. I agree with the poster who says all total, probably over 1,000,000 taxPAYERS rallied.
And we did it without being bribed with beer and a rock concert.
I am getting the info from Glenn Beck posters on meetup sites on meetup.com
You’re doing a great thing as an individual!
Freeper Bigg Redd reported a Rally in Chestertown MD. Several hundred folks.
If you can find the individual site cities and headcounts, I’d be glad to post them.
