ALBANY, N.Y. -- Hundreds of New Yorkers were at the state Capitol Tuesday, rallying for freedom and a change toward politicians who believe in less government.

"There's just too many ways that I have to pay," said Wendy Tascione of Rochester. It doesn't leave anything for our family to ever feel like we're not living on the edge."

This Tea Party Part 2 was an outcry against Republicans and Democrats alike, departing from the left-right debate, calling for debate about the system which they say is broken.

"I pay taxes out of a paycheck," said Tascione. "I pay taxes when I go to the gas station, when I go to the grocery store, when I buy clothing, when I buy books, when I buy magazines. I buy anything, I'm taxed on it."

"They get very entrenched," said another protester. "They get, you know, buddy buddy. And they make deals between each other."

And it comes as state senators bicker over who's really in power.

"I think it reflects poorly on the state," said March on Albany organizer Wade Abbott. "I think that it's more about people protecting their careers as politicians and not serving the people."

So they question is now, where do they go from here? Of course, they hope this movement takes hold and perhaps even leads to some changes like a few citizen lawmakers at the Capitol who, for instance, might have made a big difference in this current Senate spat.

Tascione said, "I was glad that something was shaken up, but then, what a laughing stock. Can we grow up and act like adults."

Abbott said, "What if we had 30 votes versus 30 votes and the remaining two were citizen legislators? Can you imagine?"

The other issues that drew such a weekday crowd are too numerous to mention here but include out of control spending, high debt levels, and the federal reserve system, which they say essentially prints more money leading to inflation -- issues over time that they hope to educate people about to enact change. Though even at the rally, protesters demanding freedom were not allowed to carry signs with wooden handles, which were deemed too dangerous by the state.

Abbott said, "That upsets people a great deal because they don't feel they're displaying the flags properly, and it's disappointing."

The protesters are now taking their message across the state.

"We work hard," said Tascione. "We don't want to be on the edge all the time."
