Footage from St. Patrick's Day Parade in Sioux Falls

The Tax Day Tea Party is a national collaborative grassroots effort organized to protest out of control government spending.

The Tea Party protests, in their current form, began in early 2009 when Rick Santelli, the On Air Editor for CNBC, set out on a rant to expose the bankrupt liberal agenda of the White House Administration and Congress. Specifically, the flawed "Stimulus Bill" and pork filled budget.

During Rick's rant he called for a "Chicago tea Party" where advocates of the free-market system could join in a protest against out of control government spending.

A few days later, grassroots activists and average Joe Americans began organizing what would soon become the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party effort.

On February 27th, an estimated 30,000 Americans took to the street in 40+ cities accross the country in the first nationwide "Tea Party" protest.

Organizers of the February 27th events pledged to continue on with an even bigger and better protest to follow the first. With April 15th being "Tax Day", it was decided to schedule the second round of Tea Party protests to ride alongside the tax deadline.

South Dakotans are invited to gather from noon to 1:30 PM at Covell Lake in Sioux Falls for our state's tax day tea party.

  • God bless everybody who is fed up and taking it to the streets. We are going to have to get serious about TAKING THE POWER BACK. Our governer, Rick Perry, her in the great state of Texas was at a tea party and reminded the ppl that our state held out a right to secceed from the US at any point when we joined the union. God bless him, it is sounding like a pretty great idea. I'll keep my God, Freedom, Guns and Money, Yall can keep the Change.

  • Excellent! Greetings from Jersey SD patriots!

     Washington, We will not sit back and let you rob us blind. YOU work for US, you seem to forget that.
