Pictures from the July 4th DC Tea Party

By Brendan Steinhauser on Jul 04, 2009

I just walked over from Upper Senate Park to my office to upload the pictures from the DC Tea Party held today in Washington. There were probably a thousand people there, although I'm not great at estimating crowd sizes.

Below are some pictures from the event. People were fired up and ready to take on socialized medicine. The CNN crew that came to cover the event was not well received. Many were angry at CNN's coverage of the tea parties, the Honduran situation and never-ending Michael Jackson coverage.

There were some great signs there, and a sea of "Don't Tread on Me" Gadsen flags. Congrats to Patrick Beck and Lisa Miller for putting on an outstanding event!

UPDATE: CNN says 2000 people showed up today.
