TEA PARTY IN ODESSA, TEXAS

The coordinator said that there were 500 people registered for the event. I think everyone was as angry at our Senators for taking part of the give-away as they are at Zero for passing the bailout. I don't blame the folks who are angry. The Senators' integrity has been compromised by this.

I've been searching off-the-radar heart-of-America tea party counts and here's what I have found so far:

7,000 in Hoover, AL from this news report.

500 at the U of AL Tuscaloosa campus by this news report

More than a thousand at the state capitol, Jackson, MS according to this video news report.

At least 500 in Covington, LA

from the photos, looks like several hundred in Mandeville, LA, and they dumped tea into Lake Pontchartrain.

More than 1k in Baton Rouge, LA
