City of Boca Raton Charges Tea Party $6,000 for Police & Barricades But MoveOn.org Gets Free Pass

Donald Trump spoke at the Boca Raton Tax Day tea party rally in April. The Donald hammered “make-believe” Obama, the “worst president in American history” in his speech. The tea party crowd loved it.

But, the tea party crowd didn’t love the bill the city sent them after the event. The City of Boca Raton charged them twice as much as they anticipated for police and barricades, nearly $6,000. But the city did not charge MoveOn.org a dime for an event they held just three days later.

Maybe only eight people showed up at the MoveOn event.

Sounds like the Tea Party needs to run their own people for Mayor and City Council there.

“Unfortunately, the MoveOn.org protestors didn’t draw nearly the same crowd. The Palm Beach Post reported that about 40 people were in attendance.”

The link, just in case.

So under a certain size, city “protection” is free?

Shoot, the Tea Party could easily be self-guarding.

Boca Raton means “Rat’s Mouth”.

The city is appropriately named.

Now, the real reason for the name Boca Raton is clear to all. The name is both accurate and confused. It is accurate because ‘Boca Raton’ means ‘mouth of the rat’ and Boca is very Liberal, very democRAT area.

The confusion comes because the local Libroids forget which end of the rat is which.

Why should MoveOn.org get Mouth of The Rat services for free? Even if only 40 people showed up at the MoveOn event?

When MOveOn gets a bill, then the Tea Party should pay but not until.

Let the town leftists who likely run the place explain the difference to the taxpayers.

I live about 20 minutes north of Boca (or as the Noo Yawkaz say, “Boker”). I actually like the place but one does feel like one is in enemy territory. On the plus side, its congressional representative is Allen B. West, so the good citizens of Boca Raton aren’t ALL morons.

WTH are people meeting in liberal cities?

DO NOT meet in those cities... you’re only pouring money into their coffers

Abandon those cities. If you must meet in the area, pick a non-lib town nearby

You have it backwards. Sue the crap out of them and make them charge the libs the same fees. Make them put up the money to defend this type of crap. Then set up an office to run Tea Party candidates on the basis of unfair and illegal treatment by the city. Get all the publicity you can, make them cough up for larger campaigns, and make them defend this action in the courts and in the press. If they want to act like union thugs then make them pay, and pay, and pay.....
