Mon 4/20: Oil Drops to $46.20 but gas rises to $2.13 gal in Riverhead!!
Why is that? Why is there no outcry in D.C.?

Tea Party at 645,918 and Counting
The Tax Day Tea Party tally is still coming in and a final count may never be known. There may have been as many as a 1000 events across the 50 states attended by as many as 15000 in places like San Antonio and as few as 100 in small hamlets from Florida to Alaska.

You can see reports of all the events at TaxDayTeaParty.com or on PajamasTV.com (PJTV.com) complete with photos and videos. Photos of the Riverhead event are included as well. Find the State and Town.

Despite criticism from some quarters, a clear message has been given to politicians everywhere. The people have spoken.
