I’m in between tea parties, right now, so I’m going to have to make this quick. There was a great turnout for such a last minute, and not heavily promoted noon hour event. Nice Deb isn’t good at crowd guesstimates, but I would say there were between 300 and 400 people there for some great speeches, and musical entertainment.
This particular protest was planned by a couple of local moms, who, contrary to what tea party critics like this numbnut in the Kansas City Star may think, are not leaders of some Republican organization, but were provoked into action by the disastrous deficit spending we’ve all been witnessing coming out of Washington.
So without further ado, here are some pictures from The Lee’s Summit Tea Party, which was most definitely a grass roots event!:







































No trolls, or agent provocateurs in this group!
Here’s a few clips of the Lee’s summit tea party from the video I took:
See Michelle Malkin for coverage of other tea parties across the nation.
And now I’m off to the Liberty Memorial! Catch you later!

Is the double post of the “stop funding acorn” pic, because you were flashcarding some of the signs?
