A tea party at the Capitol

April 15, 2009 By WRN Contributor

A large gathering at the Capitol Wednesday morning is aimed at sending a strong message against tax increases to lawmakers.

Mark Block, state Director of Americans for Prosperity, says up to 4,000 people from around Wisconsin are expected on the Capitol Square for a "Tea Party" protest on Tax Day. 

Block says their main goal is to show opposition to the nearly $2 billion in new fees and taxes included in Governor Doyle's proposed state budget.

The Republican-leaning group is holding similar protests in other cities nationwide.
