HERE’S A REPORT on the on-again-off-again Cape Coral, Florida Tea Party protest: “Hundreds filled Jaycee Park on Wednesday for a tea-themed show of populist outrage. . . . The events have gained traction nationally as the country grapples with a souring economy and the government’s attempts to stave off financial collapse through stimulus spending and an intervention into the banking sector.”

More here: “Hundreds showed up at a tea party in Cape Coral, and they were not happy. The political activists expressed their anger over taxes and what they call out-of-control government spending. . . . This was just one of many tea parties in Southwest Florida. Many others will be held April 15th.” As I’ve noted, these things do get local coverage, even though national media have largely ignored them.
