Independence Day Tea Party

Filed under: personal liberty by Victoria Liberty @ 8:57 pm
This post is a little late, but I haven’t had any free time in the past few days, so apologies for that. On July 4th, I went to another awesome Boston Tea Party!  The first half, from 12-2, was at the Boston Common, and then everyone marched to Christopher Colmbus Park for the second half, from 3-6. There weren’t as many people as at the April 15 Tea Party, but there was still a pretty good crowd. Speakers included Todd Feinburg, Carla HowellPaul Jehle, Doug Bennett, Sean Ryan, and Mike Kelleher. At Christopher Columbus Park there was some musical entertainment, including Carla Howell herself, who sang two songs called “How Could I Live Without Filing Taxes?” and “Politicians Say.”

There were several different websites and organizations that sponsored, had tables at, or were somehow associated with the Tea Party, and they’re all really cool so I’m plugging their sites here. Check them out:

I took lots of pictures, a sampling of which you can see below. I’ll post the rest at my photo site shortly.
