TEA Party brings out locals, anger

Debbie Hendrix is one of millions across the nation fed up with the growth of government and her tax bill. That's why the Crittenden Countian participated in yesterday's coast-to-coast TEA Party demonstrating on tax day, April 15, against what she calls a burgeoning federal power.

An acronym for Taxed Enough Already, the TEA Party was held at 12 locations in Kentucky and as near to Marion as Paducah and Madisonville. Hendrix took her protest to Madisonville.

"We are out here today to show we don't like taxing," the self-professed Republican told isurfhopkinsco.com for their online publication. "Our freedoms are being taken away."
