Hundreds turned out today at the Alton Tea Party Movement’s Pre-Tax Day Rally at Woodland Park in Collinsville, Illinois.
The park was so crowded that the local police would not allow patriots into the park before the rally. You had to park in nearby lots and walk over.

It was a beautiful day in Collinsville.

Mike Flynn from Big Government website was the keynote speaker today.

Local patriot Stephanie Rubach spoke about health care and family values.

Adam Andrzejewski gave a great speech on accountability in government.

Jordan from Big Government, former Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski, Mike Flynn, the editor at Big Government website, and myself, posed for a photo after the rally.

But you have to remember, maureen dowd is a *very* unhappy person – and a complete leftist. It’s no wonder she’s an idiot.

Hundreds? Maybe if you multiply by 100.
JR commented:
I was there and I personally counted over 500 people.
Great speech, Jim.

You’re repeating yourself, deadkluk. And you’re boring.
Why don’t you run along now, troll.
Seansie commented:
Adam Andrzejewski is president material. He’s very likeable, lots of charisma. Also, hardcore conservative.
Dana commented:
JR is correct. Had to be at least 500 people there. The pictures that are posted only reflect a small portion of the park.
It was a good rally and it’s nice to know that we still have our freedom of speech.
Thanks to all the speakers!!!

It was a great rally with awesome speakers & well over 500 people. I took a few pictures & there was no way to get everyone in one shot. This rally did much better than the Coffee Party meeting in Belleville, IL a few miles from Collinsville. Only seven showed up!
