Peggy Rogers And Peter Schiff Attend Tea Party

No crumpets were served at a City Hall “Tea Party.” Instead, Republican candidates for Senate and Congress helped a crowd dish out a generous dose of anti-government, anti-Obama sentiments and campaign promises—while clashing with a gate-crasher.

About 60 demonstrators gathered outside City Hall Saturday morning to protest health care reform legislation at a “STOP ObamaCare Rally,” an event organized by the local chapter of a national movement pushing Republican candidates to the Glenn Beck right fringes of their party.

Lieberman's DC Office Results In 9 Protestors Being Arrested

This morning at 9:15A.M. a group of protestors requested a meeting with Senator Lieberman and refused to leave until they were given an opportunity to meet with him. Senator Lieberman's staff told them that they would not be given a meeting with the Senator. Then they were directed to leave or face being arrested. Senator Lieberman's staff subsequently called the police, and 9 activists were arrested after being physically removed from the building.

According to a website Myleftnutmeg "Some members of the group went to a meeting of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (which Senator Lieberman chairs) to stage a protest in the presence of Senator Lieberman. They were asked to leave and did so without incident."

The group was also upset with Senator Lieberman's threat last week that he will filibuster any healthcare bill that contains a public option.

On record being arrested are two Uconn students Brittney Florio,and John Mohrbacher, an alumnus. The activists were representing a Healthcare organization called "Mobilization for Health Care For All."

Explaining their actions, a student activist Jason Ortiz said: "We staged a sit-in at Senator Lieberman's office this morning in order to ask him to return the $65,000 campaign donation that he recently received from the Aetna health insurance corporation and to ask him to represent the people of Connecticut, not the insurance companies."

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.

Tax Day Tea Party Coming To Connecticut

The kettle is brewing and about to boil over this April 15Th at a city near Milford. Years of taxation without representation, excessive wasteful spending, looting of our treasury and runaway debt on the backs of countless future generations of children are what is on the hearts and minds of the American people.

Congress and its 9% approval rating, both our state Senators Dodd and Lieberman now publicly despised for their party betrayal and cronyism to banks and the war agenda's are seeing their campaigns in trouble next election cycle.

This WEBSITE (CLICK THE LINK) has at least three tea parties going on in our state. These tea parties are part of a grass roots movement comprised of not one single leader but many brave citizens who are angry and wish to organize their local communities to exercise their First Amendment rights. They ask for our leaders to redress their grievances, and hold accountable those responsible for the tax and debt malfeasance that is undermining America and its ability to prosper and recover from the current Recession and widespread unemployment.

Anyone who wishes to show these organizations their support should visit the link listed above and participate in what is a PEACEFUL NON-VIOLENT PROTEST, this is how a successful protest works and all those wishing to participate should express their views with with signs, handouts, a megaphone or something that does not result in injury to another individual.
