Steve McQueen is acting a bit like an expectant father right now.
That’s because he and the other organizers of “Lincoln’s Legacy: Patriots on the Prairie” are putting the some of the finishing touches on the Quincy Tea Part event, set for Saturday at 1 p.m. in Quincy’s Washington Park.
But with the final Blues in the District concert tonight, an event honoring police and firefighters on the anniversary of 9/11, work to set up the park, including the stage, cannot begin until late tonight or first thing Saturday morning.
With FOX News carrying portions of the event live, the network asked McQueen yesterday to find scaffolding for them to park their cameras. McQueen said he expected there to be several last-minute details to be finalized.
Quincy Mayor John Spring has accepted an invitation from Quincy Tea Party organizers to welcome those expected to attend the event from around the Midwest.
A few thousand people are expected to attend from all over the Midwest.
“The town halls and tea parties represent a mounting frustration goes well beyond the Obama administration,” he said. “I comes from years of institutional corruption, overspending and putting the future on the credit cards of our children just so both parties can have the power.”
“With Tea Party protests and town hall questions, Americans are exercising their First Amendment rights to a degree not seen in decades. This surprises some people, but it shouldn’t. And while some people have complained that such demonstrations are uncivil and sometimes downright rowdy, that, too, is an American tradition.”
“I got involved because my husband is a small business owner and I don’t like what’s happening,” she said. “We need to wake people up to the overreach of government. We have nothing left to lose.”
