MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. -- Just a few days after Tax Day, supporters of the Tea Party held a rally. Supporters braved the chilly weather to make their voices heard as part of Orange Sullivan County 912's first Tax Day Tea Party rally.

Organizers say they were motivated to be part of the grass roots movement after attending a rally in DC.

"It moved us in a way we hadn't experienced before and we came back and we said well now what do we do. We have to get something going here, couldn't find anything so we started something," said Sheryl Thomas.

About 500 people attended the rally.
