'TEA PARTIES'

Fiscal Conservatives are fighting back.

 A national movement called,'Tea Parties,'-inspired by The Revolutionary War era Boston Tea Party to oppose British Taxation, are happening all over the country in protest of the Obama administrations stimulus package and budget in general.

Police said more than 4,000 people attended the grassroots protest in Cincinnati on Sunday to protest wasteful government spending.Protesters held signs that read,"Give me liberty,no debt,"and "Where's my bailout."

There are more than 150 'Tea Parties' scheduled across the nation in the coming months.Locally, the Chicago event is scheduled for tax day,April 15th at the Daley Center Plaza 50 West Washington St. from 12noon 'til 2pm.

To no surprise, the national movement has been ignored by the liberal mainstream media to this point, but Fox News and most blogs are covering it.Noel Sheppard, of the conservative blog NewsBusters.org writes about the lack of media coverage,"Compare that to how these networks practically fell all over themselves to report the war protests after the public's opinion concerning Iraq drastically changed in late 2003."
