    Rochester NY Tea Party Protest

    By ChuckSimmins  |  Posted April 15, 2009  |  Rochester, New York
     

    It’s sunny and in the 50’s with a brisk wind here in Rochester, NY. Three stops were planned for the Tea Party, a downtown park, the County Office Building and City Hall.

     

    About 600 at the park heard speakers and sang songs. They marched down a closed Main Street to the County Building for another rally and grew to around 1,000.

     

    By the time the marchers moved to City Hall, the crowd had swelled even further.

     

    The crowd held all races, and every age group from toddlers to the elderly. The Geneseo College Republican Club marched with Ron Paul supporters, Libertarian Party folks, and ordinary Americans at their first protest.
