Over 1,000 people attended the Jefferson Area Tea Party's July 4th Independence Day celebration in Charlottesville's Jackson Park, next to the Albemarle County courthouse where Thomas Jefferson once argued.

Highlights of the event are presented against the backdrop of Cynthia Murry singing the National Anthem and Tom Slonaker reading the Declaration of Independence.

When someone starts thinking in terms of billions or trillions of wasted dollars, they tend to try to reduce the numbers to a satisfying minimum. If the number is the meat of the argument, this poor soul is without substance and misses the point entirely.

The whole area was packed. There were over 1,000 for sure.
