Tea parties protest tax day

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP/WANE) -- - Protesters around the country are gearing up to rally against tax day with "tea parties."

Organizers say they're steamed at government spending since President Barack Obama's administration took over and are planning their own mini-revolts. The rallies are designed to echo the original Boston Tea Party more than 235 years ago.

Rallies are scheduled for noon at the the Huntington County Courthouse in Huntington County and the Noble County Courthouse in Albion.

The demonstrations are being held everywhere from Kentucky, which just passed tax increases on cigarettes and alcohol, to South Carolina, where the governor has repeatedly criticized the stimulus package. Large protests also are expected in California, New York and Atlanta.
