on Dec 16, 1773 the colonists in Boston Massachusetts, refused to return 3 ships full of taxed tea back to the British government. Colonists boarded the three ships and began throwing it overboard into the Boston Harbor. These events sparked the American Revolution. The colonists were pissed that there were not seated elected representatives giving the right to tax such goods as tea.

Today we remember those who gave birth to the American Way with protests against our current governments over spending and increases deficits. In Tyler, TX demonstrators wore costumes and carried authentic flags from 1773. Many Tea parties were held across the country today including Boston, New York City, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia.
