TEA PARTY UPDATE: “On April 15th, over 3,000 people showed up on the lawn of the Rhode Island statehouse to participate in the local Tax Day Tea Party. As a follow up to that protest, local organizers are planning another event today, June 10th.”

Other tea party plans in Montana, and Georgia:

For a growing group of Peachtree City residents, a lot has happened since the April 15 tea party held at City Hall.

Event organizer Cindy Fallon and others last month formed the non-profit Peachtree City Tea Party Patriots that last week had a mailing list that included nearly 1,300 names. The group will hold their next event July 4 at the Fredrick Brown Amphitheater.

Also South Carolina. “Nearly two months ago, more than 200 people rallied outside of the Greenwood County Court House in protest of massive government spending and excessive taxation. It was April 15, 2009, Tax Day in the United States, and at noon protesters hoisted homemade signs that decried big government during a T.E.A. -Taxed Enough Already ? Party. Greenwood held only one of more than 750 estimated parties on April 15. . . . Greenwood citizens will once again gather for one of the rallies, but this time at the Greenwood County Fair Grounds. The T.E.A Party / Freedom Rally, is scheduled for June 27 and is slated to begin at 5:00PM.”

And Texas. As I’ve noted before, this stuff is popping up all over, below the national media radar.
