Revision as of 08:59, 13 September 2009

The Taxpayer March on Washington was a Tea Party protest march from Freedom Plaza to the United States Capitol that was held on September 12, 2009, in Washington, D.C. The event drew at least 75,000 American conservatives, Republicans, independents, and libertarians who rallied against President Barack Obama's proposals on health care reform, taxation, and federal spending, among other issues. The march, sponsored by FreedomWorks, Tea Party Patriots, and ResistNet, is the largest protest against the Obama administration since the Democratic politician took office in January of 2009.
