2009-APR-18: My video from the Manchester Tea Party

At Victory Park. Speakers including Frank Guinta, Dan Itse, Ed Naile. A decent crowd and lots of nice signs. I had trouble getting close to the stage due to the crowd but I got lots of crowd footage!

Some from Dave Ridley:

The Concord Monitor covers the bathroom invasion:

As the rally broke up, Rep. Fran Wendelboe offered to lead a tour of the women's bathroom on the third floor of the State House. Republicans have used the $72,000 recently spent on restroom renovations as a new rallying cry for Democratic excess.

Democrats say that the upgrades were necessary to make sure the bathroom met requirements for access for the disabled and that the expenditure was approved by both parties.

Among those taking the tour was Rachel Senter of Kingston.

"I heard there were chandeliers in there," she said upon exiting the restroom. "I guess they're actually more like sconces."

Still, Senter said she was surprised by what she said was the use of marble in the stalls.

"It's like our state is in la-la land," she said. "It's worse than a crack addict."
