An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties, according to reports by organizers tabulating the nationwide numbers, with documented protests held in 50 states.

Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform told WND, "The Obama administration has awakened a sleeping giant."

Tax Day Tea Party national event coordinator Amy Kremer told WND she has confirmed that more than 850 parties took place. She has at least 100 more reports in her e-mail inbox that have not been posted.

Asked how many people attended the events, she responded, "I would estimate it at over 1 million. I'm waiting on more numbers to come in from organizers right now. I can tell you it is absolutely over 750,000 right now."

I attended a Tea Party

Submitted by sunshine05 on Fri, 04/17/2009 - 09:15.

in Raleigh. I thought it was a big success. There were many people there like us. In all, about 5,000 people showed up. There were many Gasden flags, upside down flags, stop the NWO signs, etc. People loved my "Ron Paul was Right!" sign.

I know a lot of you think this was just a neocon event, but I didn't see it that way at all. People are waking up. I was hesitant to attend myself but so glad I did. I have renewed hope and could care less what the media had to say about the tea parties.
