TEA PARTY UPDATE: Reader Pat Dooley writes: “There was another huge after-work Tea Party Rally in Cuyahoga Falls. . . . The organizers were expecting around 5000 people to show-up, according to this news report. One of the speakers, my brother-in-law, told me the crowd was 7000 people. The Tea Party movement is getting stronger, rather than fading away.”

And reader Tyler Cazin writes: “Just got back from our local tea party in the center of town. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but hopefully you’ll be seeing some pictures. Easily 7,000 plus. Nicest large group I’ve ever been around. I’ve been feeling down lately, but this really raised my spirits. I think we can get our country back.”
