On Wednesday, Missourians for Conservative Values participated in the Kansas City Tea Party at the Liberty Memorial. About 5,000 people showed up to protest against outrageous government spending, higher taxes, and large government in general. Chris Stigall from KCMO 710 was the keynote speaker, who rallied the people in attendance to continue to take a stand against government spending and the growing government control. He also promoted continued activism among those who showed up, and encouraged the people to be persistent in making their voice and opinion heard among our local, state, and national government officials.

One unique aspect of this protest, that MCV supports and in our opinion made it successful, was that the event caused people to transcend divisive factors such as age, economic standing, race, and party lines, and take a stand for their personal convictions. Like the national slogan, the tea party really did convey that the majority will be “silent no more” in taking a stand against the policies and decisions our government officials are making.

Below are some more photos from the event.
