BILLINGS- Joining Tea Party activists nationwide the Montana Shrugged group organized a tax day protest Thursday in Billings.
An estimated crowd of 500 people of all ages congregated on the Yellowstone County Courthouse lawn just before noon carrying American flags and signs protesting the Obama administration. Speakers including Montana Shrugged founder Eric Olsen rallied the crowd with the message fair taxes and limited government.
The demonstration at the courthouse lasted a little over an hour after which the protesters marched through downtown Billings and circled Senator Max Baucus' Billings office.

I think the Tea Party is not going away but will become stronger than what the opposition ever dreamed. As a 57 percenter I am tired of the spending waste and complete disregard of this Administations disregard of the Constitution. Our two Montana Senators will have more ex-
plaining to do than smile on TV.
