A2: Tea Party

By

A post on Ann Arbor Biz News describes the Tea Party rally today on the Diag, part of a national protest of out-of-control government spending and bailouts. ”Ann Arbor being what it is, I didn’t expect to see all that many protesters in attendance. I was wrong. At its peak, I estimate about 150 people came to the Diag to express their concern about government spending. The crowd was pretty diverse. It included seniors, the middle aged, little kids, whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. There were lots of moms with kids. Actually, I was surprised by the number of moms in attendance. Obviously, this is an issue of great to concern to many mothers.” [Source]
