Early Tea Party Numbers
My former co-workers at the John Locke Foundation (where I still rent a desk) have fanned out across North Carolina to attend several of the taxpayer tea parties in cities both large and small, and of the ones held so far (some, like Raleigh's, are tonight), here are the estimated attendance numbers they've reported.

Greensboro: 1,000-1,200
Charlotte: 700-1,000
Fayetteville: 300
If anyone (in any state) wants to report some of their numbers to climatestrategieswatch@gmail.com, I will do my best to post them at AmSpecBlog as I am able.

Lapeer, MI - - a small city 20 miles from Flint - - 500 people gathered outside the old 1846 courthouse. Organizers anticipated 100 - 150 and were ecstatic.
