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.

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.
