New Haven Tea Party Slows I95

The tea party held today, in New Haven CT slowed I95 to a crawl. At the event were all the major news stations, newspapers and yes of course over 1,000 disgruntled angry citizens fed up with excessive taxation, bank bailouts and the government practice of indebting the public.

The photo below is just a small section of the 1/4 mile strip of people who parked as far as IKEA to get to the event. The signs people were holding tell the-now common theme of taxation anxiety. Not too many people showed up to support the 3.6 trillion dollar Obama Budget, actually it was quite to the contrary every person I asked about the Obama budget was not only against it, but angry that our President would even suggest such a reckless irresponsible spending package. Many were also upset with the Tax cheats holding high office (I.e. Geitner) in the Obama administration, the AIG bailouts and also our incumbent senator Chris Dodd who will be most likely seeking a new job come next election.

The event was an amazing outpouring of people from all walks of life. The April 15th tax day protest was entirely organized by grass roots individuals through our entire country, and there were three major events held in Connecticut today, and several smaller events reported in Wilton and Greenwich. The other two larger events were held in Hartford, and New London and were equally well attended. The people have certainly spoken, and now it is up to our elected leaders to heed the call and demands of the people who elected them.
