I'm on vacation and traveling right now, but I couldn't miss going to a Tax Day Tea Party. I chose Chicago, as Illinois is Barack Obama's home state, and as a very blue state, I knew Chicago's Tea party could use the extra participation. Turn out was by no means huge, but it was pretty crowded just the same. The highlight of the rally was the speech by Jonathon Hoenig of Capitalist Pig Management. In a short speech, Jonathon summed up the real meaning behind these events: that we are born free and the government works for us.

Here's my photo round-up, starting with a group of people on the way to rally, then the rally itself...

The final image, I believe is a CNN reporter interviewing people, although, I can't be sure. A chant of "CNN go home!" rose up from a group of people and they swarmed in a circle around this fellow... I had to hold my camera over the crowd to snap this shot.
