Hundreds of protesters waved signs and railed against big government today in what organizers billed as part of a cross-country tour.
The Tea Party Express Tour stopped in Las Vegas near Las Vegas Boulevard and Sunset Road and will eventually make its way to Washington, D.C. Organizers estimated 700 to 900 people attended.

I have the impression the LVRJ is still working on their story (since no interviews have been posted yet), or they only sent a photographer

you can always tell at a glance
when we do it the signs are homemade
never seems to change

I read that dems are trying to get their “protestors” to make their own signs but are having trouble
none of them know how to spell and besides they say they don’t get paid for making signs

they also have a “lines of demarcation” problem
homemade signs infringe on their need to use union printers

Just tell Reid to gether up the homeless and for a few bucks they will gladly come out to support him, just like they have done during the elections. Carring a sign is no crime but stuffing ballot boxes is. You might even run into a Kennedy holding a sign. one never knows.

Great signs! Vote the bums out - short, direct message straight from the heart - love it! and 'Know Obama, No Obama' is another good one.

I personally like “Fed up”

I didn't see that one in the picture. But that is a good one, also - says it all.
