Random Thoughts From Marybeth

Louisville Tea Party

My younger son (15) got a couple-hour break from school to attend the tax day protest in downtown Louisville with me.

All of these photos were taken at the Louisville Tea Party on April 15, 2009 between 10:45 and 11:30. If anyone has information about what happened later, please leave a comment and use the URL field of the comment form to leave a link if you have posted pictures online.

There was a good sized crowd, especially considering it was only about 45 degrees, overcast, and in the middle of a work day.

Diverse too...by that I mean there were people wearing both (Louisville) Cardinal red and (UK) Wildcat blue.

There was singing and flag waving.

The media seems to be paying more attention now...

I mean the news vans, not the guy who appears to be a citizen journalist doing an interview with his digital camera. Bloggers have been paying attention all along.

I think the somewhat dazed looking man on the left is a reporter. I saw him interviewing a woman who came to the tea party with a child in a stroller. He was taking notes in his notepad while another man was taking pictures.
