The Rochester, NY Tea Party protest held yes­ter­day was a resound­ing suc­cess. Over 40 con­cerned cit­i­zens rang­ing in age from col­lege stu­dents to seniors met at the Main Street bridge over the Gene­see River to dump tea into the water.

Speak­ers detailed the his­toric Boston Tea Party and linked its mes­sage to cur­rent events. A short march was held, to the cor­ner of Clin­ton and Main, in front of the con­ven­tion cen­ter where NY Gov­er­nor Pat­ter­son was appearing.

The "Fair Share" left­ists were inside, out of the wind, push­ing their mes­sage of pun­ish­ing the suc­cess­ful with higher taxes. Out­side, the Gads­den flag, "Don't Tread On Me!" flew proudly along with the Amer­i­can flag. Signs protest­ing New York's tax bur­den and the bur­den on future gen­er­a­tions imposed by the stim­u­lus pack­age were held high, and passersby honked their horns in support.
