Syracuse, NY -- Joanne Wilder has never protested anything in public before. She's never boxed with City Hall, let alone Washington.
"I've been a quiet little person my whole life," she said.
But today in downtown Syracuse, the 60-year-old great-grandmother will lead a Tax Day Tea Party protest against the spending policies of the Obama administration and Congress.
The demonstration -- at 11:30 a.m. outside the James M. Hanley Federal Building -- which Wilder estimates will draw 2,000 people, is one of more than 1,500 rallies planned in 550 American cities on the deadline day for Americans to pay their 2008 income taxes...
...A second demonstration, scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. today at Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool, is being organized by Jim Smith, of Radisson, who is also making his debut as a protester.
Smith predicted his protest will draw 4,000 to 5,000 people.
In Rome, a third tea party protest is being planned at 4 p.m. outside Fort Stanwix. the rest

Hooray! Let the spirit of Tom Paine live on!
"The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion.
-- Thomas Paine, as quoted by Joseph Lewis in Inspiration and Wisdom from the Writings of Thomas Paine (which contains no pagination or source citations), also found inVictor J Stenger, Has Science Found God? (2001)
Yet this is trash that the Church imposes upon the world as the Word of God; this is the collection of lies and contradictions called the Holy Bible! this is the rubbish called Revealed Religion!
-- Thomas Paine, as quoted by Joseph Lewis in Inspiration and Wisdom from the Writings of Thomas Paine
