Medford Holds Tea Party Rally (Medford Transcript)

Medford Holds Tea Party Rally
(From the Medford Transcript)

Medford — If you asked Medford resident Bernie Green why he was standing on the corner of Salem Street and the Fellsway last Thursday afternoon, his answer would be simple and straightforward: “The sign says it all.”

Green, the chairman of the Medford Republican City Committee, was referring to the sign he was holding as part of the Tea Party demonstration on April 15. The hand printed sign featured a quote from President Thomas Jefferson, which read, “When Injustice Becomes Law, Resistance Becomes Duty.”

“That’s why we’re here today,” Green said. “Our government is becoming more and more intrusive in our lives and with our liberties, and people have had enough.”
