Tea Partiers get apology for insult by town.

Hey, guess what? This show up en masse stuff works!

PORT ST. LUCIE — After a week of complaints about a sign at Freedomfest on July 4, city officials apologized to the Treasure Coast Tea Party.

“It was not our intent to interfere or cast dispersions on the tea party,” said City Manager Don Cooper, who took responsibility for what he called a “bone-head decision.”

About 75 members of the anti-tax group attended the City Council’s Monday night meeting looking for an apology.

Via Instapundit. I have to say, this ‘getting out and marching’ thing is jolly good fun, isn’t it? We should do it more often. As in, ‘whenever we get annoyed at something.’  It certainly seems to get results.

PS: Still think that it was a good idea to give the American Right a taste for activism, kids? – because ‘high inertia’ is a double-edged sword.

Please, by all means: laugh.

    the gathering of phone numbers and emails and notification of planned events like move.on’s propping up the crap of a healthcare bill and being outnumbered by TEA partier’s as counter protestors…..this is a movement that calls you up and says get to your town hall meeting because….. It is keeping those on the local level in check and making changes from the ground up ie: grassroots :-)

    WE need to ensure that our elected politico’s recognize they are one election away from going home!

    I saw this down in the article:

    Other tea party members, such as Pastor Bryan Longworth, expressed appreciation for Berger going to the event and taking down the sign when she learned about it.

    We go to church and have jobs and kids to look after.

    The left? Not so much.
