9/12 Tea Party in D.C.
 Concerned Americans At September Tea Party - Nations Capitol |
By Ron Lee
US~ObserverWashington D.C. - On September 12, 2009 masses of Americans descended upon the capitol city to peacefully protest the direction they feel the country is headed; into a socialist state. Issues that range from healthcare reform, taxes, ACORN, and a perceived misrepresentation by government officials of the people’s wants are what drove people to come from all over the country to participate in the day.
From estimates of 30-40 thousand to 2 million, the day’s “official” attendance estimate was 60 thousand which remains a point of contention between attendees and media outlets who under-reported the massive display of free speech.
One thing is true, the protests will continue, regardless the numbers - especially if they keep getting ignored by both the mainstream media and, more importantly, the government they are protesting.
How Many People Care? More Every Day....
