DENVER (AP) - Several thousand protesters gathered at the Colorado Capitol to join anti-tax demonstrations across the nation marking the April 15 tax deadline.
Organizers say they're upset over government spending since President Barack Obama's administration took over and Congress approved a $787 billion economic stimulus package.
The rallies on Wednesday were organized to echo the original Boston Tea Party more than 235 years ago.
A smaller rally is also taking place in Fort Collins' Washington Park next that city's government building.
