Tea Party Express in Troy, MI

 On Tuesday, September 8, 2009 a crowd estimated to be 3-4 thousand people lined the street in front of City Hall in Troy and cheered as the Tea Party Express rolled in around 7pm.

The event was covered by Fox News (commentated by Griff Jenkins), CNN and WDIV Channel 4 locally.

  

The event was started with the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a variety of music and several guest speakers (Attorney General Michael Cox, Deborah Johns and others)

 

The crowd was upbeat and civil (no Mobsters here!), and many signed the giant letter to the Government expressing their opposition to the wasteful spending. Overall it was a good sampling of 'regular folk' who want their message heard about Health Care, Cap & Trade, and taxes.
