Rather than loading up the thread with pics, they are in my Facebook photo album. Was anyone else there? I was the jackass with the sign on the steps of the state house that said "...the answer to 1984 is 1776..." which wasn't made for the heavy winds...chillin' in my Who's John Galt? t-shirt.

Looks like a good turnout for a small, liberal state. Did you notice any C4L presence?

I met two girls who had gone to the End the Fed rally up in Boston with Ron Paul shirts, and I didn't notice any C4L until I was reveiwing my pictures. There is the back of a woman in a red C4L shirt in one of them in that link. It was a bigger turn out than anyone could have hoped for. I mean, we're talking about a state that blames the republican governor for our troubles while he has a total of 4 republicans in the general assembly to support anything he's been trying to do for 6 years to solve the problems.

Would you describe the crowd to be in line more with Ron Paul, Don Carceri, Matt Allen, or Helen Glover?

Definately not a Ron Paul crowd. I'd call them conservatives who have lived in a very liberal state for a long, long time. Hopefully this is the start of something in this state.

I wasn't able to go because of work, but if there is any follow up to this im looking for a place to plug in.

I am not sure, but they did say something about the tea party itself morphing into something, as well as a rally on the 4th of July.
