Massive Turnout for New Lenox/Joliet Tea Party

Video courtesy of Illinois Review, "New Lenox Outranks All Tea Party Express Rallies Thus Far":

Also from Illinois Review, "Over 10,000 Overwhelm Will County Tea Party." Updates with photos are forthcoming.

And from the Tea Party Express home page:

Breaking news from New Lenox/Joliet… the sheriff’s office is reporting to us that the crowd estimate for the rally here is 10,000+ and they are shutting down a portion of Interstate 80 for traffic control do to the massive influx of people.

Somebody better get the message out to Bill Berkowitz (see his pathetic screed, "Pro Iraq War PAC's 'Tea Party Express' Sputters Along Attacking Health Care Reform").
