I posted earlier about my attendance at the Houston Tea Party, and here are some of the pictures I took from the event (except for the first that was taken by someone else).
An aerial view from an adjacent building in downtown Houston. I think that is definitely higher than the 2,000 the NY Times reported.
Concerned citizens look on during a speech discussing the actions of the Federal Reserve.
A good crowd – I wonder why no one in the press gave it any real coverage?
One of the best protest signs I saw. If you can’t tell, it is Obama holding a lighter and setting fire to the US Constitution.
The sign in the upper right corner reads, “Republican Leaders: Where are your cajones?!”. But didn’t the press tell us it was the Republican Party promoting these tea parties? I’m confused…
A scroll listing out all of the Congressional earmarks is unfurled. It went from one end of the plaza to the other (the plaza is a full city block) and I’m not sure anyone ever saw the end of it. I hope that poor girl isn’t still rolling it out.
Protesters take their voices down the street to surround the Houston Chronicle building. Based on the story in the paper this morning, I don’t think the noticed that our group wrapped completely around their offices.
