VIDEO: Terre Haute Tax Day Tea Party

Staff report
The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE At least 225 people stood in front of the Vigo County Courthouse in Terre Haute, holding signs and U.S. flags as part of a tea party demonstration, encouraging passing drivers to honk horns. People described themselves as Republican, Democrat and conservative independents.

Tea party demonstrations were staged nationwide on Wednesday, the annual deadline for filing income tax returns. It also marked the famous 1773 Boston Tea Party, when American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest British colonial taxes.
