Tea Party

Tonight Uche and I headed down with friends and family to the local Tea Party here in Redding. The tea parties were held all over the country to protest wasteful spending by the federal government in Washington. It was a beautiful evening and fun to be part of. It was held at the Sundial Bridge along the Sacramento River.

Here's everybody gathering to cross the bridge. There were many homemade signs and flags being displayed.


Here's everyone crossing the bridge. The bridge started shaking because of all the people on it so we stumbled more than walked across the bridge.

I just like this picture with the people lined up on the bridge. As we walked along the path people were reading quotes about taxation from our founding fathers.

The crowd gathered under the bridge to put their tea bags in cases that were thrown in the river.
