NORTH JERSEY — Whenever fireworks explode over the Hudson River, residents of Hoboken, Jersey City, and Manhattan rush to social media to find out who's behind them.
This weekend, the answer may be: "Your mom."
The Moms for Liberty, a conservative-leaning organization, is hosting an event on Ellis Island on Sunday to celebrate America's 250th birthday and the fifth anniversary of the organization.
They're partnering with Glenn Beck and the American Journey Experience for the event, which will feature exhibits and fine dining.
"Come explore the exhibits and galleries of this former immigration station and experience what over 12 million immigrants did between 1892 and 1954 in search of the American Dream," they wrote.Tickets start at $1,500 each, or $15,000 per table, with some ticket packages available for $75,000. The party will feature commentators and authors Glenn Beck, David Barton, and Tim Barton.
