Please see the end of this article for information on tea parties in other states. Since I live in Massachusetts, I am publishing the information on the next great Boston Tea Party. There will be a Boston Tea Party on April 15th from 10 am to 8 pm at the Massachusetts State House (NOT City Hall Plaza). What you read below is taken directly from the website Boston Tea Party on Facebook. To be honest, I don't know if you have to be a member of facebook to access it, but joining facebook is free and very simple. For this, if you are not already a member, it is worth it. Anyway, here is the information:
***Details on the time are below, but note that you are encouraged to come between 11-2 and 4-7 specifically** (Stay tuned for more updates about speakers and special guests!)
Featuring Special Guests: Carla Howell (12:00 PM) with more to be confirming soon!
Welcome to round two of the Nationwide Tea Party demonstrations - and the first for Boston since 1773!
Just bring yourself, a costume, signs, props, and energy to express your outrage and disgust in response to the passsge of TARP, the stimulus bill, and the bailouts!
Even of you can't make it to the actual event you can still hold a sign in your town, call your elected representatives, and help create visibility for this event by calling talk radio and contacting the press. You may also feel free to come for anywhere from five minutes to the whole day! We realize that this is a work day for many people, so show up during your lunch or right after - either way, just show up if you can!
If you need ideas for signs, we'll have pictures posted from prior demonstrations as well as discussions about good slogans below on our event wall. Please feel free to share your ideas!
Also, please take note of the fact that while this is an all day event in the sense that people are encouraged to come out at any time they can, you are asked specifically to come between the hours of 11 and 1 as well as 5 and 7 - those times, of course, being your lunch hour and commute. At that time, we'll have the most visibility - and there is also a chance that a few well known local media personalities will be attending at that time - but more information on that when it is confirmed.
Also, please note that these two 4/15 events in Boston are merging - and that they will both be held at the State House: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=140469005716

Please share this information with as many people as you can. Information on tea parties in other states can be found at taxdayteaparty.com. We need to let our Senators and Representatives (and President) know that we are not in favor of runaway spending!!!
