On Saturday, November 28th the St. Louis Tea Party held their "Letting Off Steam" Tea Party rally in Kiener Plaza in downtown St. Louis. Saturday's rally featured the infamous 'Gulag' which was recently banned from Washington University, Christmas caroling, and number of speakers.
Kiener Plaza was the same location where seven months ago the St.Louis Tea Party held their Tax Day Tea Party on April 15th, 2009.
The rally hosted a number of speakers including Mike Carey from American Council for Affordable and Reliable Energy, Stephanie Rubach of St. Louis Urban Spice, Dave MacArthur of McArthur’s Bakery, Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit, Dana Loesch of the Dana Show on 97.1 FM, James O' Keefe of BigGovernment.com, and many others.
Under clear blue skies in the upper 60's, the crowd arrived slow and steady for some time. Christmas songs rang in the air as Tea Party ralliers found a comfortable place to listen to the speakers.
The protesters were quickly energized with waving flags and signs adorning issues most important to them. Rationed health care, czars, corruption, and increased taxes were many of the protests discussed and displayed.
Wrapping up the list of speakers was James O'Keefe of Big Government. He inspired and motivated the crowd by discussing investigative journalism and how everyone can get involved in seeking out the truth. The event finished with a Meet-and-Greet and a drawing of autographed baseballs by James O'Keefe.
