Thousands Gather For Kansas City Tax Day Tea Party At Community America Ballpark

The main tea party event for the Kansas City area,  Tax Day, 2010, was  the Community America Ballpark in KCK,  from 3:00-9:00pm. It was sponsored by KC Political Chips, and MC’ed by KMBZ’s Darla Jaye. KCTV reported “thousands” of tea partiers, so I’m going with that until I hear a more specific number.

The place was teeming with tea partiers, who were treated to a well organized, and very enjoyable event. Speakers included, Kris Kobach, who’s running for KS Sec. of State,  710 conservative DJ, Chris Stigall, and Obama’s dear, second cousin once removed, Dr. Milton Wolf, who really, really doesn’t like Obamacare.

Here are some pix of the crowd, and some of my favorite signs:

Heh.

People are so creative!

Towards the end of the program, Darla Jaye asked for all of the veterans to come on to the field. I was amazed by how many were in the crowd. By the time I started videotaping, (with my phone – because my camera was out of batteries), a large number had already filed out of the field:

When video of the speeches appear on YouTube, I’m posting them, because there were some good ones.

Okay, here’s some amateur video of Kris Kobach’s speech:
