“Tea Parties” Coming to Pennsylvania

Online conservative activists have rallied to CNBC’s Rick Santelli’s call last for a “Nationwide Tea Party” to protest the economic “stimulus,” bailouts, and erosion of liberty.

Here are some “tea parties” coming to cities across Pennsylvania (note: these are tea parties of the Boston Tea Party type, not the kind taken with crumpets).
