More Than 1,000 Meet In Montgomery For Tax Protest

Montgomery, AL – More than 1,000 people have turned out at the Alabama State House in Montgomery for the Tax Day Tea Party.

Several carried signs predicting the federal stimulus package will lead to socialism.

Montgomery small businessman Steve Primavera carried a sign saying ``Stimulus: The Audacity of Dope.'' Primavera said the stimulus package is using his children's money and selling America's future to China.

The Montgomery event was one of more than a dozen in Alabama and more than 500 around the country.

Montgomery radio talk show host Greg Budell predicted the event could have the same impact that Montgomerian Rosa Parks had when she refused to move to the back of a city bus during segregation.
