February 26, 2009 - "I'm speaking my mind today, phone calls to my congressman and the White House are not helping, said Toni Meyer, of Wentzville who admits she has the numbers programed into her cell phone. Meyer participated in a symbolic Boston Tea Party, at the base of the Arch grounds. The event was held in an effort to protest the new wave of government spending that President Barack Obama's administration is proposing, with the current economic stimulus package.
"If I had known this many people would show up, I'd have charged admission," said Bill Hennessy of Ballwin, the lead organizer. "We'll do this every chance we get until Congress repeals the pork — or we retire them from public life." Hennessy estimated that more than 1,000 people showed up. He said he got the idea after Rick Santelli, a CNBC market commentator in Chicago, last week called for a tea party to protest Obama's anti-recession plan.
