City fears too many attendees (http://www.winknews.com/news/local/42019772.html) :rolleyes:
A tea party to protest government spending and taxing is canceled. Canceled by the government.

Why? They feel too many people could show-up.

Lynn Rosko planned to hold a tax payer tea party at Jaycee Park in Cape Coral on April 1st. The idea was announced at a Cape Coral City Council meeting, then an e-mail blast by the Republican Party and it was mentioned in the local media.

With all of that attention, the City of Cape Coral felt there could be more than 500 people attending the tea party.

Therefore Rosko needed to get a permit and insurance for the event... Insurance? :confused: Something smells rotten in Florida.

This doesn't surprise me. If it were me, I'd just go anyway.

Just now came across this...

Cape Coral Tea Party is (Back) ON! (http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/bstein80/cape-coral-tea-party-is-on)
Despite the efforts of the local government in Cape Coral, FL, to prevent people from showing up, the tea party is on! FreedomWorks activist Mary Rakovich is taking over the planning of the April 1st Tea Party and wants to send a message to the city that the people of Cape Coral will be heard. If you are in the area, please join her for the tea party on April 1st! I will be on Andrea Shea King’s radio show Monday night around 9:45pm to discuss the Cape Coral situation.

Good for them! Don't let this usurper's false-leadership push them around!
