Tea Party

Several Libertarians joined the more than 200 people gathered on the Capitol lawn Saturday in a new American Tea Party demonstration.  Fernie Williams carried this sign, and Brian Irving debuted the Liberty Penguin Flag and was interviewed by WTVD TV-11.

The grassroots group NC New American Tea Party will hold another Tea Party April 15. There will be two demonsrations that day, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. at the Federal Courthouse on New Bern Ave. and from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at State Capitol (east side).

Here's a sampling of the slogans from the many hand-made signs:
