This is looking upon the capital at Denver on Tax Day.
A giant crowd of Americans angry at our government. It was a nice toasty 73 degree day and the party was reported to have 5,000-6000 people!.
A nice Don't Tread on me flag. Saw that flag flown all over the crowd.
More pics of the crowd
That stud would be me! Looking into my sunglasses you'll see a reflection of the crowd.
Lots of great signs were held up.
A great sign there.
Loved that sign there. I wish I could have captured them, but there were purple hog balloons flying around. A nice porkulus rip.
Loved this sign too.
A very large protest of great Americans.
The mountains in the background. Thought it looked good.
A random pic of some of the crowd.
The steps of the Denver Capital Building. This is where the speeches occurred.
Another picture of the crowd and steps. I had to carefully maneuver my way around for good pics.
The two signs on the right were great.
The man who put it together, god bless him.
More great Americans.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. This is a day that will be remembered, and the folks here in Denver definitely want another tea party next year. As far as the liberals who wanted to disrupt the event, I never saw any, but they had no chance. There was no way they could disrupt a crowd that big that is so pumped full of anger towards our nation moving the wrong way. There were no arrests, violence, or fights. What was funny is that our state politicians could hear us loudly on the floor, but none of our elected politicians wanted to speak. They declined and told the workers there that they could not listen to or watch any of the speakers. Elected by the people for the people, huh? People down the hill by the street held signs up and a majority of the cars responded to their messages with a resounding honk. Two of our new stations were present, and watching the 5 O Clock news one of our democrat leaders said that we were being PARTISAN, and "that we should realize" it's all "BUSH'S FAULT!!!" They also reported that we were saying impeach Obama, which I heard nobody say, but you know the media. Even when caught in a corner our elected idiots point fingers somewhere else, never taking the blame. But we were noticed by many. I hope this planted a seed that will grow, not only in our elected leaders who aren't as partisan as our liberal democrat leaders, but also those who are uninformed or complacent with whats going on. It's been a fun day and I look forward to hearing about the others. These tea parties will be known. Oh yeah, I guess we were all right wing extremers!
