The Cincinnati Tea Party organizers told us it was going to be big. And it was. Organizer J. Binik-Thomas e-mails this evening that 5,000 folks turned out for the protest and more than 1,600 people signed a petition to ask local governments to reject porkulus funding.

What are you doing? Go to Tax Day Tea Party and get moving!

Eric Cranley live-tweeted. A sample:

A friend of mine brought his 5 year old son, holding a sign saying, “Even a 5 year old knows socialism is stealing” #teaparty
about 3 hours ago from TwitterBerry

Good sign: “Tar. Feathers. Washington. Now.” #teaparty
about 3 hours ago from TwitterBerry

“My recommendation is that people look no further than the halls of Congress to find the stench of pork” #teaparty

Unlike the Los Angeles Times, the Cincinnati Enquirer actually covered the tax revolters without trashing them:

Thousands of people filled Fountain Square this afternoon for the Cincinnati Tea Party, a grassroots-effort designed to show their disapproval for bailouts and the massive federal stimulus plan.

People wore Revolution-era costumes and raised anti-bailout signs with messages like “Give us Liberty, not debt” and “No more bailouts.”

Sean Lynch was one of thousands who navigated the crowd.

“I’m frustrated with the way things are going in Congress. They need to remember that they work for us, and right now, we don’t approve,” said Lynch, of Colerain. “This is not a Democrat thing or a Republican thing. It’s a government thing.”

Lynch brought his children to the demonstration and hoped that one day, when they’re older, they’ll understand the importance of taking a stand. His 8-year-old, Isabel, held a “Stop spending my allowance” sign and 5-year-old Kate raised a “Stay out of my piggy bank” one.

“I don’t think anything is going to change overnight,” Lynch said. “But this is a start.”

From reader Shannon:

Hello, Michelle!

Huge fan, and really appreciate the coverage you have given to the Cincinnati Tea Party. My family attended today — me, my husband, and my three children (10 year old boy, 7 year old girl, and 5 year old boy). Thousands were on Fountain Square today — lots of energy, lots of passion…. it was evident that everyone — my husband and I included — are not your “usual suspects” in demonstrations. We are all usually too busy earning our livings…. but we have been angered well beyond words.

Very disappointed that only one of our main news channels is covering the rally…. disappointed, but not surprised! Thank goodness for you, Glenn Beck and Fox News!!!

Just wanted you to hear from another attendee!

    Michelle, we had HUNDREDS turn out for Glenn Beck’s program on Friday, and all have us have vowed to stay in contact. My SMIA meeting on Saturday reiterated our commitment to the “cause”, and will be attending our San Antonio Tea Party on April 15th. Those of who are bloggers will be covering these events, even if MSM, or the “drive-by media” choose not to do so!

    Thank you for all you do! May God bless you mightily!

    Had an interesting conversation with my accountant last week. He said he’s getting vibs that people are just waiting for something to happen. There is no confidence. It’s not tied to the economy, because there is nothing they can do about that on an individual basis. And, he thinks we’re only half way to the bottom of this pit we’ve dug outselves. Hmmm, interesting. I feel the same way. Still stocking up on supplies and worried. One interruption in our transportation distribution of critical items and the whole thing will crash.

    Downtown and the immediately outlying areas are not. There is also much blue in the academic area (Univ of Cincinnati-Clifton area) and in some affluent white-guilt areas. All this made the county encompassing Cincinnati (Hamilton) go slightly blue for Obmama this past election.

    That said, there are still plenty of conservatives in the suburbs and a very large number in the three counties that circle Cincinnati (Butler–Boehner’s district), Mason, and Clermont county.

    I took my kids to see George Bush at Voice of America Park when he visted Mason, OH. Bush also visited the Golden Lamb in Lebanon, OH after 9/11. That is where the picture of him hugging the young girl who lost her mother on 9/11 was taken. Huge crowds both times. OH is very conservative in the suburbs. Boehner was our guy.

    We need to take our own “conservative” census…county by county.

    And bust ACORN’s next voter registration power grab….

    Wondering, in the next election will there be a chance to discard all those phony voter registrations that appeared last minute during the 08 Presidential election?

    Just a thought.

    Nice to see conservatives out in the open rattling lil bHo and Soros’ chains.

    They wont win.

    Millions of us are greater than MoveOn.org.

    Anyday of the week.

    Bear1909 out.

    PS: Chief Justice John Roberts has been apprised of his clerking staffs shenanigans at the SCOTUS office in DC not filing briefs on lil bHo’s eligibility hearings. Stay tuned. Sign the petition. Revolt against the taxes and revolt agains lil bHo and George Soros’ usurpation of the POTUS office.

    Just went to Glenn’s site and had an idea.
    Have small, well behaved groups follow the reporters and film crew around at each tea party and politely challenge them on their slanted coverage. Ask them why they are over sampling Dems/Obama supporters?
    Theses challengers can be known as Tea-porters. ;)
    Can’t wait for Denver’s party 5/15!

    Way to go good citizens of Ohio! The Tea Parties continue to grow, Idaho has one planned for 15 Apr 09 at 1400 hrs (2:00 PM for your civilians) on the State Capital steps. I just might have to knock off work early at the base and drive the 50+ miles to Boise with my Gadsen Flag. I might even be able to get Mrs. Boomer to join in another one of her civil disobedience displays. The last time she and some of the wives got together when stationed at March AFB she was instrumental in getting a 3 Star General fired (forced to retire) due to his and his dependents wide spread abuses of power. Let the revolution begin!

    I used to stay very late to go through the in-baskets and drawers of my paper pushers. They had 24 hrs. to process a piece of paper – yes, they were union and were always shocked when presented with a pile of checks they hadn’t bothered to put-in-the-bank! It was the SODDI syndrome – Some Other Dude Did It. The union reps always agreed with me on a write-up. :)

    Or are they against deficits? Do they know that the last President to reduce the Debt was Clinton?

    over the weekend the local rag, post disgrace, announced that while residential real estate taxes would be going down due to decreased value, commercial real estate (businesses) would be going up by as much as 30%. why worry, tax the business out of business, but keep the gubmint and teachers employed. yes lgm, clinton did in fact reduce the deficit and the debt, but only after he had his congress replaced with a very conservative republican congress. so let’s see how this congress reduces the deficit, oh wait they tripled that in 55 days, or the debt, oh wait that is growing by leaps and bounds 10t to 12t in one year. that 10 trillion started in carters years, so 28 years to accumulate 10 t, 1 year to add 20% or 2t.

    My prediction is that not only will some vanilla color people get hurt and/or killed…….no one will be held accountable.

    Y’all feel comfortable posting your innermost feelings here. Even the ones that are racist. The Black Panthers haven’t been heard of for decades. Other radicals aren’t happy about Obama’s conservatism.

    Interesting theory. But Congress went back to piling up record deficits the moment Bush was elected.

    No. LGM said the protests were pathetically small. Even 5000 is smaller than the anti Iraq war demonstrations in Cincinnati. And the Obama rallies . . . .

    LOL then how do you explain how fast they are growing? They are growing much faster than the ones generated by the hate and slander of the left. Not even a month ago they were less than a hundred people, now there are 5000. IN LESS THAN A MONTH. Get ready LGM because you and your fellow leftist radicals are in for a hell of a shock. You are going to find out that you are actualy a minority, and that obama can no longer blame everything on someone else and expect everyone to buy it.

    The anti-war and anti-bush movement never grew this fast.

    Here’s a report (scroll down) of the event this weekend in New York City, which is ten times the size of Cincinnati:

    We just ran down to Bowling Green, home of the Bull, to attend today’s Tea Party protest. You may remember these are a big thing in conservative circles, and one in City Hall Park two Saturdays ago drew 200-250 people. This one drew a dozen brave souls, …

    You are going to find out that you are actualy a minority

    Maybe someday. But today Obama is popular, bailout, stimulus, deficit, tax hikes, carbon tax, card check, and all.

    Thats not the way the polls are heading. obama the fraud and failure is going to be listed as worse than bush by the history books.

    BTW are you going to be happy to pay huge increases in taxes to pay for carbon taxes for a problem that doesn’t exist???

    Folks:

    Don’t waste time, effort, life, oxygen, etc, in responding to the socialist cheerleader.

    Muffy will never be convinced that Candy’s outfit is cuter.

    Ashley will never convince Crytsal that Chad would make a better student council president than Tyler.

    The troll just drives by to toss a snide, dismissive bomb.

    …Actually, if this movement, and other conservatice positions on issues, were destined for failure, why would trolls waste their time here?

    If the conservative positions and/or issues were irrelevant, one would think the trolls would ignore them.

    If the conservative positions and/or issues were doomed to failure, why would the trolls waste their time warning conservatives (as they not infrequently do – no, I do not have the documentary evidentiary references nor links) about them, or encouraging (“egging on”?) conservatives on along, with dire warnings included as a bonus?

    …Unless…the socialist trolls are just the littlest bit scared.

    Popular? Well judging by the incremental increases in the number of attendees at each successive Tea Party, I’d say the bailouts are very “popular.”

    WCPO is claiming that the reporters were harassed and spit upon. Nobody is collaborating this story because it must not have happened. Where is the footage of this? It’s noticeably absent.

    Additionally, Mike Wilson had this to say about their coverage:

    “Now the truly interesting thing is that WCPO interviewed me on Friday 3/12. The interview went well, but I was cornered by the assistant news director, Jeff Brogan. He was upset that emails had flooding the station about the tea party and asked that we do what we can to stop them. I pointed out that I don’t control anyone and that I had sent an email to our entire mailing list that I would be on WCPO. He pointed out that too much email contact was a good way to get on their bad side and we should stop if we wanted to get good coverage. I guess he and WCPO lived up to those words. “

    E-mail sent to WCPO GM and Reporter Adam Marshall

    Thanks to all the folks attending tea parties–THIS is how things get changed. There are supposed to be 2 Tea Parties in Denver on Apr 15th: 12 Noon at the Denver Capitol building (14th & Broadway) and another at 6:30 PM (don’t have all the details). It would be so much bigger if the parties were after working hours! I appreciate people showing up with signs expressing their concerns.
