| North Shore protest slams bailout spending |
| 2009-04-13 |
| Several thousand people jammed into Allegheny Landing on the North Shore Saturday afternoon for an event dubbed a "Tea Party" to protest what they say is excessive government spending to bail out the economy and faltering corporations. The keynote speaker was Alan Keyes, a conservative political activist and former diplomat under President Ronald Reagan. Prior to addressing the crowd, which included many people hoisting signs with slogans such as "Bigger Government -- Bigger Problems" and "Give Me Liberty, Not Debt," Keyes said the large turnout was "an indication of the enormous concern among people." |
