Tax protest rallies today in Concord, Manchester

Dan Touhy offers a preview of today's Tea Parties in the Union Leader, and for some reason quotes me:
The rally in Manchester is led by the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition. Organizers expect around 700 people will attend the event, which is located at 119 Concord St.

The protest is one of several around the state that coincide with the deadline for filing federal income taxes with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Grant Bosse, a Republican who ran for U.S. House last year, said he would attend both the Concord and Manchester rallies.

Though speakers will criticize federal stimulus spending and corporate bailouts, it is not exactly a political rally, according to Bosse. He describes the protest as a matter of policy, not personality.

"We've had a kind of failure of the political class in both parties," he said.

NH Watchdog will be filming both the Concord and Manchester Tea Parties and plans to post video tonight if the sound comes out okay.
