Ther is almost 400 million people in this country and all the TEA party can claim showed up is thousands.
Not 100's or even 10's of thousands, just thousands! And most of them were house wives looking for a social gathering to show off their arts and crafts talents!

In my city it was a big deal and stopped traffic in all directions around the capital.Considering it was a Wednesday and a workday that was a pretty good turnout.

Fanta if you like taxes so much you can always send as much as you want to the Federal government anytime you want.The rest of us would like to have at least one year where our taxes are not growing by leaps and bounds from everything from energy to gas taxes.

Hundreds turn out for 'tea party' protest at Southlake Town Square http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/yahoolatestnews/stories/041609dnmetteapartysouthlake.daa0fccb.html that was in southlake alone Considering that the tea party protests were largely promoted over the radio I would have to say it was a sucess and will only grow larger with time.It would have been interesting if it was on a Sunday.I'm sure the numbers would be triple. |

Denver & the west
5,000 attend tax-day 'tea party' at Capitol out of 2,506,626 people! Pathetic! The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of the City and County of Denver was 598,707 in 2008, making it the 26th most populous U.S. city.[7]The 5-county Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2008 population of 2,506,626 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area |

sorry but i don't see why the amount matters. people are speaking out for what they believe in The amount who protest is a direct reflection of the amount who consider it an important issue! |

 I don't know and i don't care if Fox News did organize The Tea Parties. After all,the other news networks did coddle the current President through the entire election turnabout is fair play i just think it's great that the average American citizen can go out and protest and express their dissatisfaction with "The System" in a non-violent way be seeing you

I agree with yellow rose.It is not the numbers that are important.What is important is that people showed up,seeds were planted,and it made headline news all over the world.Obama heard the voices of the people loud and clear and he knows he will have a growing problem on his hands.These crowds will not get any smaller.

Your taxes havent increased one iota! This year they have decreased in fact! If you make less than 250,000 a year they are scheduled to decrease even more. If you make more than that they arent scheduled to increase until the economy recovers on a firmer foot! Eventually they will though if you make more than 250,000 a year. |

If you don't then you are just willing pawns to their robbing Americans out of control of our Gov! Sheeple! |

I think the smokers would disagree with you.I also wasn't just talking about Federal taxes.I am also talking about state and local taxes.You are also dreaming if you don't think Obama is going to raise taxes by huge increases this year.

i agree with yellowrose also it's not about the numbers it's about the fact that people used Tax Day to non-violently protest the current Administration,an Administration who has a Tresurey Secretary who is a tax-cheat and that is not propaganda that is a fact,what would happen to us if we did not pay our taxes? be seeing you
