FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Hundreds of Kentuckians carrying flags,
signs and brown-bag lunches gathered at the Capitol steps to
protest taxes and government as part of a national effort known as
the "tea party" movement.
The Saturday rally was organized by the group TEA Party of
Kentucky - with TEA standing for "taxed enough already." Similar
rallies were held in other cities statewide and nationwide.
The Frankfort event featured music and speakers as those
gathered sat on walls and in lawn chairs they brought from home.
All age ranges were represented in the crowd, from babies in
strollers to retirees.
Anderson County resident Sandra Leeds said she wanted to join
the rally to protest the Obama administration.
Leeds says it was the perfect way to celebrate the Fourth of
July because the government is, in her words, "taking away our
freedoms."

Obama has screwed up more within these last few months than Bush did in his 8 years! It's not Bush's fault anymore though. Obama is the one in office now. One thing for sure was that Bush wasn't a coward. He did what he thought was best for our country, despite what others thought. Obama, on the other hand, doesn't have the [edited] to get anything done because he's too worried about what everyone else thinks. He has been apologizing to foreign nations, bowing to muslim leaders, and not wanting to "meddle" with oppressors who threaten democracy. Some president if he doesn't even stand for the very idea our country is based on. He lies and deceives with his "change we can believe in" campaign. BS! Only those who know nothing would fall for that. He also sealed his birth certificate and college transcripts so obviously he's hiding something. He says one thing and does the exact opposite. His wasteful spending is going to affect us all in the long run. The Obamanation continues to go on...
