“I’m not good at estimating numbers but it appeared that at around 500 people turned out for the tax rally on the lawn at the statehouse in Montpelier. I was suprised by such a large showing in a state that is so liberal. The rally was from 12;00-2:00. After the rally, demonstrators entered the statehouse while the representatives were in session. They were surprised by the number of people there!”

“I was at the CULPEPER, VA rally earlier today and there looked to be 300-400 people. It was cold and rainy, but that didn’t stop a good-sized group from gathering peacefully and protesting. It was a good cross-ection of Americans and a good vibe.”

Not only were the protesters on the street invigorating, but so were the constant honks and cheers from the numerous cars passing by. It is apparent that MANY Americans agree with these TEA parties!”

“Attended a rally in Montpelier from noon - 2 . . . it was huge! I would estimate the crowd size to be near 1,000 people. I was amazed at the number of people who showed up in the middle of the day on a work day. The size of this gathering by Vermont standards was HUGE!” (Vermont)

The turnout was large and enthusiastic - much bigger than I expected! I am terrible at guessing crowds, but I’d venture to say it was between 5,000 and 10,000 (the media had been predicting 1,500-2,000).”

“I went to the one in my small town of Frederick, MD and over 1000 people showed up despite the cold and rain. It was definitely an event that impacted me in a way that I have not experienced before. Just being a part of that group of people who were standing up for themselves was so empowering.”

“I was racing, tax returns in hand, to make the last pick up at the post office when The Beatles’ “Tax Man” came on. Smiling and thinking how prophetic the old song was, I rounded the bend near Pray Park in Waterville, Ohio (Rts 24 & 64), to find a crowd of people from this small village on the banks of the Maumee River, gathered in protest. Trust me…I’ve lived southwest of here and have driven this route for 10 years; I’ve never seen anyone at Pary Park, much less a rally like this. Didn’t seem to be organized; only an impromtu gathering of citizens. Amazing…they’re demonstrating what I’ve been thinking. If I weren’t so tired from trying to meet the filing deadline, I’d have stopped and joined them.”
“I too just got back from the Tea Party at Sunset & Eastern and it was FANTASTIC. They estimated about 2000 people there, but for every person actually there, there was also at least one car driving by honking in support.”

“We had about 2000 - 3000 at the Tea Party in Louisville KY throughout the day. We had great media coverage and everything went perfect. No police harrasment, no anti-protesters, everyone was kind and organized. We made a big impact here in Louisville, Go Get’em America.”
“Attended the Longview Tea Party earlier today and it was announced that we had about 1,000 people. Not bad for a city of that size.” (Texas)
That’s it for this thread! Please keep leaving your reports and soon we’ll start another thread.
Don’t forget your good friends from doooooown South; Miami Florida that is. What an experience! My wife and I went out (I skipped a final exam in a Constitutional Law Powers [how relevant] to attend).
We’re a young married hardworking couple (23 years old). We decided to grab some flags and signs and head out there. I was blown away! In front of out post office, with no real supporting organization, and just word of mouth, we found that the Miami Dade Police Department estimated were 3,000+ people!
Honking, flag waving, country loving Americans. Your everyday folk! Old, white, hispanic, young, families, children, people wearing metallica t-shirts, people wearing indian outfits, the works! It was a fantastic experience.
America Libre!

St. Simons Island, GA - was hoping for 100 - got at least 636!!! Not to mention the multitude of people who honked as they passed. Everyone there was just so happy to have a place to make their voice heard. It was truly an amazing day - and everone was asking - when is the next one, and what can I do. You could just feel the American Pride coursing through the event!
Warner Robins, Georgia.. Great turnout! Conservative estimate between 400 and 500 patriots with many coming and going during the event and even more honking and waving as they passed! What a great day to be an American!!
Easily 1,000 in Omaha, Nebraska - wouldn’t be surprised if there were more. Here are my pics from the event! (couldn’t see the speakers, we were in the back - good crowd shots, though. only showing 1/2 the people there). Suburbs held their own tea parties too (Papillion - 200, Sarpy - 700?, Millard - overflowing, had to be held outside!).

I attended the Tea Party in Chattanooga, TN. It was a great time and there were around 2000 people there. It was the politest and best dressed group of protesters ever to attend a protest rally. Most of the folks were upper middle class professionals and/or retired military. I could not imagine a better group of people to spend a sunny spring afternoon with.
Grand Rapids, Michigan. In the shadow of President Gerald R. Ford Museum, 2 - 3,000 Patriots!
Our small city of Pocatello, Idaho had an estimated 500 people show up, throughout the 2 hours. It was very cold, gray and raining, but great to see that much support. We got a LOT of thumbs-up, waves and honks…and just a few birds.
Thank you, organizers! Hope to do it again soon (maybe in the evening).
I was unable to attend, but so proud of all of you who did. Thank you!!! It’s great to know there are so many of us out there.
From Boston, where it all started 236 years ago-
Greg, Roger & me were there, we helped fire the next shot heard round the world.
2000 people there. everyone i met i said “Hey thanx for being here!” its the 1st time i really smiled since the election.
there was a very old russian gentleman walking around handing a small piece of paper to anyone who would listen to him. he was obviously upset and with his age i’m sure it was an effort to make his way out there.
his english was very rough, i used my vestigal russian to ask him ‘grandfather, why are you so upset!’ he was surprised, > i then told him how i had learned my russian & where. He responded in russian ‘then you know too!’ and that he could not believe what they are doing to HIS new country. he said he was a survivor of the gulag, and he felt he had to do something. i agreed with him and said we were going to start the process this very day. he shook my hand for a long time.he went on handing out his small scraps of paper.
the paper read
TO FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZEN!
Help uphold Constitution!
Read and let others know!

BTW if you didn’t know it she is a soviet emigre too……
Hello all! I attended our rally here in St. Augustine, FL, the oldest continually occupied European community in America and it was wonderful. We’ve got kind of a small town here and the turn-out surprised us. Estimates (at the end of the day) started at 700 and went to 1,000 for the midday rally here. Local media weren’t giving us the time of day but that didn’t stop us from having a great time standing up for our country!
Des Moines, Iowa Tea Party–estimate of 3,000. Great weather and crowd enthusiasm. Excellent speakers, beautiful day! Our local news actually covered the event–albeit briefly…Can’t wait to see what our local paper, the Des Moines Register has to say–I will have to borrow a paper…I stopped subscribing to it after the pitiful debate it sponsered between all the candidates (Republicans one day, Democraps the next day)
Larger Tax Day Tea Parties in Sacramento and Pleasanton today. Good turnouts considering this is Pelosi-Boxer-Feinstein-Barbara Lee territory! Hope to see coverage on the local news tonight.
Dayton, OH had a whopping 11,200 show up for the tea party. Way to go Dayton!

I attended the Oakland, CA Tax Day Tea Party lunchtime rally and posted photos on PJTV.com. Local FOX NEWS TV affiliate sent a camera and reporter and Oakland Tribune sent a photographer. Local private security tried to run us off (there were about 50 of us) but we were in Jack London Square - public domain. Big fun!
7500 at 6:00 PM in Fresno. At least an hour to go.
Several hundred folks turned out for San Francisco #teaparty
Here are my pics http://budurl.com/SFteaparty
Reporting from Lisle, IL. It was a colder day than we expected, but we were still able to attract somewhere between 1300-1500, and we probably could have had more if we did not run out of parking!! (Something to keep in mind for July 4th because I KNOW this movement will continue to grow!) Got a lot of great feedback - people really want this to continue! Bottom line, it felt GREAT to be out there.

Lafayette, Louisiana
About 1000-1500 at about 5pm. At the rate they were streaming in when I left at 5, I expect about 2000-2500 for the whole event by 7pm. Evenly mixed crowd. No photos at the moment. But will post some as they are available.
The tea party in Marion, Williamson County, Southern Illinois was larger than even its sponsors must have hoped for. My husband and I counted the crowd in groups of 25 and came up with approximately 450-500. In addition to Marion, tea parties were being held in other Williamson County towns of Carterville, Herrin, Harrisburg. Pretty indicative of how people are feeling when you consider that Williamson County’s population is fewer than 62,000! The best speaker of the day was an 18 year old college student who plans to be a doctor. She was intelligent, knowledgeable and passionate. She begged the crowd to be examples for her generation and to help prevent the politicians from heaping debt on the coming generations that would destroy their dreams and hopes.
Something every one needs to remember. This is a workday. Think how big these numbers would be on a regular weekend.
I went to the protest in Jacksonville NC, “I’m not a bean counter but my guess would be 150-250.
The New Bern NC turn out was extremely good, but I will let someone else come up with those numbers. But they are very, very good.
**Lets push for 4th of July= Washington!!! Let roll.**
We had 300-400 at the courthouse here in Warsaw, Indiana. It was a very peaceful group and the talks focused on God and Country, our founding documents, keeping our civil liberties, the fairtax, organizing, etc. It was typically calm as conservatives are. We needed a bit more pep. But, those that came out were very motivated and thoughtful.
There was no mention of either party, nor mention of Obama, only a focus on fiscal responsibility and not letting government take over our lives.
PS. There were no radicals there!
[...] Malkin reports that there are at least 800 tea parties going on today. This post, which is aggregating reports from around the country, has a variety of numbers from 100 to [...]
Great turnout in Trenton! Considering the rain and “frozen” fingers hanging
onto our signs, everyone’s Strong American Spirit was plain to see & hear!
Lots of passing cars honked in support as well.
Easily a good 2,500-3,000 people on the State House grounds in Columbia, SC today. Loved those Fort Moultrie LIBERTY flags!
went to the Boston Tea Party ! where it all began.. fantastic turnout ! never knew taxachussetts had so many conseratives ! huge turnout Sam Adams would have been proud ! I certainly was .
2500 in Boise Idaho!!!!
Lets keep the momentum going and plan another soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was a bit concerned when I drove to the rally in Gilbert Arizona and there was not a line of cars to get to the street it was held on…
But, then I turned the corner and the parking lots were nearly full already and there were people crossing the street from the shopping area parking lots too!
It has to be a wake up call for the recently (re-)elected members of Congress.
If not, we’ll be giving them their ‘pink’ slips next year and start getting this spending…err, investing…, umm, make that WASTING of our tax dollars under control!!!
I’d estimate 2-3,000 at what was supposed to be the ’small’ protest for the SE area of the greater Phoenix area. Downtown rally should be HUGE!
Good Times!!! Great turnout considering the weather, it was wet and cold! Met some really nice people. Overwhelmingly I heard people who were pissed off. Cops estimated the crowd at about 1000.
2,000 - 3,000 in Grand Junction, CO. Yahoo!!
Good job trying to keep the Tea Party (America Speaks) quiet CNBC and CNN…Your loss!!! I pledge to never watch your networks from this day forward….
I went to the one in my small town of Frederick, MD and over 1000 people showed up despite the cold and rain. It was definitely an event that impacted me in a way that I have not experienced before. Just being a part of that group of people who were standing up for themselves was so empowering. I think that we should do this more often.

Never protested in the 60’s and here I am protesting in my 60’s; our object of this day should be to remember it and in two years to have our Congressmen and Senators remember it too!!
I’ve heard reports that Cincinnati turnout was between 3,000 and 7,000. I would have estimated a ton higher.
I posted up photos of the event, march, and arrival at city hall. http://www.rwnj.org/2009/04/15/cincinnati-tea-party-pictures-april-15-2009/
DON’T SHUT DOWN YET!! It’s only a bit after 3pm here in CA, and we’re going STRONG!!!!
Just returned from the tiny town of Danville, where I would estimate 100 people gathered on all corners of a busy mid-town interesection with signs, flags, and EXCELLENT attitudes!!
Am heading back there for the ‘commuter’ bash, scheduled for 4 pm - 6 pm. We expect to have a LOT more people show up.
I have TONS of photos!!!

Montgomery, AL, 2,000+ attended. It was a satisfactory affair where manners were preferred. No blood was shed and you only felt uncomfortable if you were a lilly livered politician with bad intentions. I hope this revolution continues and people dont forget about the momentum achieved today. If you would like to see pictures go here.

Sherrie Sheppard, I totally agree with you. I’m an independent myself and this has to be against the establishment.. the establishment that just sees itself as the ruling elite that collects and spends OTHER peoples money.
We had about 1500 for the Colorado Springs Tea Party. I feel like the ride of Paul Revere, carrying the torch and the message that the British are coming!! Instead, it’s sadly “the government isn’t listening!!” Geez… but I am so proud of Americans from sea to shining sea who don’t protest anything, but they come out because they still believe…

Kudo’s to CARSON CITY NEVADA, over 2000 people showed up to be heard. Horns honked, people cheered, and signs were everywhere. Good Job to fellow Americans who are fed up with government spending.
Took my kids to the Sacramento tea party! Awesome over 5 thousand people. Great to see everyday Americans standing for what they believe in.
I can’t believe I am going to my first protest at 56 years old! I could not agree more in principle to this grassroots effort. However, after reading some of the comments posted by attendees of other “tea parties” I am concerned that these protests are only against the current administration. A house divided against itself will not stand. There are no republicans or democrats or liberals or conservatives. There is the ruling elite and the rest of us. It is important to be discerning and keep this truth in the forefront of this very just cause. It has been said that it is much easier to excite the emotion than to arouse the intellect. I do not think we
can afford to allow these protests to become political in nature. Do not let it sink to that level. Truth is spiritual in nature and cannot be owned by one political party or the other.
TODAY IN WINSTON-SALEM NC 700+ ATTENDED A TEA PARTY. WE WILL BE HEARD! BIG GOVERMENT = BIG GIVE AWAYS!! WE MUST STOP THIS NOW!!! SPREAD THE WORD. JIM M CLEMMONS NC
Very excited about what is happening but sorry to say work prevented my attendance at any party I could reach. Yeah, I’m one of those guys that works in a private business without paid holidays, guaranteed pensions, and accruing sick days. Oh, and can you believe I’m actually accountable to someone other than a bureaucrat.
Anyway, since I couldn’t attend a party, I plan on sending a tea bag to all my elected officials from the mayor of my hometown to the big O himself.
Salt Lake City was amazing, hundreds were there even with the snow. The feeling of unity, and the realization that I am not alone has given me hope that we, the people, can take our country back.
Davenport, Iowa: 300+ attended our Tea Party…simply amazing! Great turnout! God Bless Common Sense!
10,000 people in front of the State Capital in Sacramento, Ca.
10th Street is closed to traffic in front of the Capital Mall
Thank you to all the people who came to the Tax Day Tea Party in Naples, FL at the corner of US 41 and Pine Ridge Road at 12:00 Noon today. I am told, last count, we had 3,000 people attend!!!
