Central Valley residents protest at TEA parties
Tax day has turned into protest day for many people around the country and here in the Central Valley. MultimediaThousands who say they're unhappy with government spending are staging rallies modeled after the original Boston Tea Party. In this case, TEA, stands for Taxed Enough Already. At Fresno's Save Mart Center more than 1,000 people gathered in the parking lot. Although organizers said the event was bi-partisan, many in attendance identified themselves as Republicans. In Merced, a rally organized by the College Republicans of UC Merced protested what they believe is outrageous government spending. Participants brought signs, flags and their opinions on the current levels of taxation.

I was there near the beginning and left after a few hours...and there were multiple thousands there all throughout the 6 hour event. said on Thursday, Apr 16 at 12:23 AM The final count was over 7,500 people attended Add a commentMost PopularMore Good StuffAdvertisement
