Thousands rally at Cincinnati Tea Party

Thousands of Tri-State residents gathered Sunday on Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati to voice their opposition to government spending bills recently signed by President Barack Obama.

The group called itself the Cincinnati Tea Party, modeled after the Boston Tea Party of 1773.

Some protestors wore Revolutionary War-era costumes. Many carried signs and banners.

One sign said Got Tea? A young child carried a sign saying: Stay out of my piggy bank. An 8-year-old held a
Stop spending my allowance
sign.

Protesters argued that the government shouldn't be spending money it doesn't have and they fear taxes and deflation will follow.

Organizers said they planned to gather again on April 15 and march the petition to city hall.
