Tax Day Rally and Patriot’s Day Photos!

Author: 912 Project Idaho | Date: May 02, 2010

Tea Party Boise sponsored another Tax Day Rally this year on April 15th along with many other cities across the nation. As always, our 9-12ers were more than willing to add their voice to the shared message of “limited government and fiscal responsibility” by participating in the festivities alongside the faithful Tea Party Patriots! While our 9-12 group did not participate in the program itself, we were invited to set up our fund raising canopies at Julia Davis and Capitol parks on both ends of the march.

A small handful of 9-12 patriots were on the Capitol steps again the following Monday, April 19th, for a Patriot’s Day Rally sponsored by the Ben Franklin Foundation of Boise. The 19th of April had been proclaimed “Patriot’s Day in Idaho” in 2006. It’s purpose is to commemorate the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, where “the shot that was heard round the world” began the American Revolution and paved the way for the Declaration of Independence… and our unique “Land of Liberty”!

Photos of both events are currently available on the Picasa link below, and were contributed by 9-12ers Parrish Miller and Valerie Candelaria. If anyone else has photos they would like to add to these shows, please send us a note at the Email link in the blue side bar of this site and we’ll let you know how to get them submitted. Thanks to all the 9-12ers who participated in this event, and a special thanks to those who helped with the fund raising sales tables!!
