Tea Party
No, I'm not talking about an afternoon tea, but rather "Tax Day Tea Party". Modeled after the Boston Tea Party in 1773, it is the result of concerned citizens raising their voices over the high taxes being imposed on Americans nation wide. We did not throw tea into the sea (or the Lake in our case), but each participant was asked to bring a tea bag to pack in a box to be sent to our representatives. Around 700 of these "Parties" were held across the nation yesterday, with tens of thousands participating.
In Superior Wisconsin where Michael and I went, there were around 70 attendents and in Duluth MN, about 1200! The media only reported seven hundred in Duluth and a few dozen in Superior.
Here are some pictures from Superior where we were.
