A tea party to protest government spending and taxing is canceled. Canceled by the government.And the people behind the event are putting up with this?
Why? They feel too many people could show-up. [More]
Yeah--looks like the organizers folded. How they expect anyone to take them seriously now is beyond me.
Permit? Move the event to another time and place? Why not just "spontaneously" show up not at the park, but in front of the damned City Hall?

The first amendment doesn't say a damn thing about free speech or assembly insurance to indemnify those you are protesting. A permit to assemble, doesn't that mean they don't have a right to do so? Why! I believe it does.
But the pragmatists tell us we are a little paranoid and a lot overreactive.
Pragmatism on the march! Backwards.
Who the Hell is endowed by the constitution the power to issue permits for the exercise of your first amendment rights? What? NO one? Yet you are going to run from some sonofabitch who says he has. Meet in his damn office, all of you. See how pushy he is then.
No one said that the park was closed. Just show up until told to leave at point of arrest. Note the police badge number. Then sue.
When politicians' and bureaucrats' actions start significantly costing the community, the people in charge will be voted out or fireed for their ineptitude.
What is the point of protesting an holding sign anyway?
If I am going to protest, I going to be holding something else. . .
Rosko told WINK News, "I have rescinded any organizing or supervision or what ever you want to call it over this tea party on April 1st."
that's not a cancelled event. that's an event without an organizer. so why does the media claim it is cancelled?
of course, we'll see some "protestors" among the 500 or so for what they really are, now that they realize they will have to take responsibility for their own actions.
Some in our government(s) have said they feel that the Communist Chinese were too LENIENT with the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy demonstrators.
Permit. Faugh!
My county has issued citations to owners of restaurants with alcoholic beverage licenses and live performance licenses for letting patrons dance when they are not licensed as NIGHTCLUBS.
The news showed signs saying "NO DANCING" posted in the window by county police.
It involve a permit and of course a FEE.
Cops have been assaulted enforcing this ordinance. I don't have a problem with that.
Other "tea party" demonstrations will be held in all state capiitals on April 15th, Tax Day. TEA -- Taxed Enough Already.
And our tax money used as a lever to separate us from our liberty.
Time to use those tweeter/twitter/sms/whatevers to test 'flash mob' function...c'mon guys, use your toys for good effect.
"Flash Mob" is the term I was trying to remember. YES! Do the same thing (assemble) using the same technology, that the left has been doing.
The late Feb tea party in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was told by the DNR they could not dump tea into the river.
Because it would change the color of the water.
From run-off brown...to more brown.
Need we remind the pinheads that last year THERE WERE FREAKING **HOUSES AND RAIL TANK CARS ** FLOATING DOWN THE FLOODED RIVER ?!?!?!?
