VIDEO: Tax Day Rally Welcomes Long Beach Tea Party

Event marks third year protesters gathered to voice their concerns about overreaching government.

Members of the Long Beach Tea Party joined with other local groups of their kind in the third annual Tax Day Rally in Massapequa on Friday.

Held at the Long Island Rail Road station on Sunrise Highway, the event drew crowds who waved American flags and hold signs addressing issues of overreaching government as motorists passed and some honked their horns in solidarity.

Nassau County Legislative Majority Leader Peter J. Schmitt (R-Massapequa.) and 12th District Assemblyman Joseph S. Saladino (R-Massapequa) were among several politicians who attended the rally.
