Yesterday afternoon the Arapahoe Tea Party and the Colorado Tea Party teamed up for an impromptu rally along Lincoln in front of the Capitol to fire up vehicles driving by on their ways home from work. Though the turnout was a modest of 50-75 people, they got lots of honks and cheering from homebound commuters who liked their signs and flags. Here are a few of the more clever ones I saw:

And as always, rallies tend to bring out the Capitalist in everyone:

While we’re on the rallies topic, Saturday, May 30 at 10:00AM the nationally-funded, local Astroturf group called Arapahope (isn’t that cute?) will be holding a rally for socialized medicine (they want everyone’s healthcare to equally suck – just like Medicare) on the West Capitol steps. Many pro liberty groups, who think medical decisions should be made between patients and their doctor rather than by a Washington bureaucrat, will be uniting in a counter-protest.
