Thread: 18,000 Attend Tea Party at Voice of America Park in Ohio

18,000! I think the peasants are ticked.


Issues, not politics, is their cup of Tea
An estimated 18,000 attend event at Voice of America Park in West Cherster Twp.


WEST CHESTER TWP. — Some were clad in colonial-era costumes. Some hoisted signs or waved American flags. But the thousands who filled the lawn in front of the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 5, were consistent in their passionate plea for change.

Whether it was health care reform, a country at war, education, government bailouts, the national debt or Congressional term limits, it was the issues — not politicians — that took center stage at the rally hosted by the Cincinnati Tea Party.

The crowd continued to grow throughout the afternoon, and an estimated 18,000 people had come together at the event’s peak, according to Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones.

Jones said the crowd Saturday nearly doubled that of the Tea Party’s event he witnessed in Columbus, which drew an estimated 10,000 people to the state’s capital in April.

Saturday’s rally drew people from all over the region, many to view the day’s highly anticipated town hall-style forum featuring U.S. Reps. Jean Schmidt and Michael Turner, Ohio gubernatorial candidate John Kasich and House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp.

Thank you so much for posting this.

I am going to a Tea Party Protest on Sat 9/12 at the Los Angeles Federal Building, and I am going to make a large sign that says, " Bitter Voter clinging to my wallet and my Doctor.

Great sign idea!

And 20 folks in favor of the health care legislation - sweeeet!

Like i said, the Dem/Repub parties are dieing a slow death, which is good for the country, we can re-establish our great republic once they are gone.
