The Locke Foundation's John Hood has reported the following North
Carolina numbers in The Locker Room:
I attended the Greensboro Tea Party protest at noon. The
crowd began to swell by about 11:30am. Lots of homemade signs,
many of them biting or funny. For example:
“Protect My Country — We'll Do The
Rest”
“Uncle Sam’s Pork Stinks”
“TEA: Taxes Enough Already”
“Born Free, Taxed to Death”
“I'm 12 with a 160k debt” (held up by a
kid)
...I estimated the crowd at peak at around 1,200.
Hood hears from other cities:
Goldsboro (home of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base):
300
Winston-Salem (just a stone's throw from Greensboro): over
900, reports the Winston-Salem Journal
Charlotte (a higher estimate from the Charlotte
Observer than reported by a Locke rep earlier): 2,000
Fayetteville (also higher estimate than earlier Locke
report) -- Fayetteville Observer says 400.
Locke's Chad Adams is now in Asheville, NC, and reports from his
Blackberry:
Around 1000 here in Asheville and growing!
Mike Thayer says
400 showed up in Iowa City, Iowa.
Dan Curran says there were 7,000-8,000 in Madison, Wisc.
Dan
Yorke of WPRO in Rhode Island says:
I'm told 2500 in Providence.
