"Stop the Pork"
Marjorie Holsten brought her pet pig Taylor Swine -- and her message to "Stop the Pork" -- to a rally sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots of the Twin Cities. The gathering was held in St. Paul, Minn., on the lawn of the State Capitol on April 16, 2011. Holsten says she worries about the future of the country and wants to see more politicians who support limited government and lower taxes.
