CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A tea party to protest government spending and taxing is canceled. Canceled by the government.
Why? They feel too many people could show-up.
Lynn Rosko planned to hold a tax payer tea party at Jaycee Park in Cape Coral on April 1st. The idea was announced at a Cape Coral City Council meeting, then an e-mail blast by the Republican Party and it was mentioned in the local media.
With all of that attention, the City of Cape Coral felt there could be more than 500 people attending the tea party.
Therefore Rosko needed to get a permit and insurance for the event. Rosko says she's not willing to get insurance and accept liability for something that a stranger could do. Rosko told WINK News, "I have rescinded any organizing or supervision or what ever you want to call it over this tea party on April 1st."
WINK News spoke to the director of parks for Cape Coral. He says that even now if Rosko is willing to get insurance for the event he'll likely re-authorize it.
For now Rosko's event is canceled, she's encouraging people to attend the April 15th Tax Payer Tea Party in Centennial Park in Fort Myers.
Some really good people living there, hope they can have the event after all.
Chicago mobsters going worldwide....
South Fla. is inundated with ambulance chasing lawyers. They sit up nights just thinking of new ways to sue somebody, anybody.
Surely you don’t think every wierdo pervert scum has some right to whatever they decide we must concede to?

I can take care of the insurance for CAPE CORAL, FL
Let’s not let the local government stop this!!!!
That’s a different issue.
It isn't just there... it is all over. The bar association leftists have usurped our whole system of justice. Now, all of a sudden there are all these made up rights...
That sounds like a good idea. You have to hit them where it hurts...the pocket book (in fact, it’s where they like to hit us.
UPDATE: CAPE CORAL TEA PARTY IS BACK ON!!!!
I just got off the phone with a FreedomWorks activist that is going to take over the planning process. We will have the details shortly!
They should do it anyway. It’s about time for some civil disobeduence from our side. Screw the city council. Did they amend the Constitution?

This is great news! I am in Naples and would like to participate. Please ping me with the details. Thanks so much for doing this!!!
Isn’t this akin to a poll tax?
In Tucson we’re buying the insurance for the gathering. It’s going to be huge with local radio personalities doing their shows during the event; local polititicians, etc.
It’s worth it to exhibit our animus toward Obamanation.
Maybe we should think about having rolling tea parties. In our cars in convoys on highways. Don’t need a permit for that. And they’d definitely be noticeable.
The Cape Coral Dhimmicrats have no such problem. The following is from the Cape Coral link on this thread.
“It was so exciting to attend the Joe Biden rallies. 5,000+ people attended the last event, proving that Democrats do live in Lee County and we aren’t hiding any more.”
5,000 - not 500.
Spontaneity works! No permit necessary for spontaneous!
I often ask myself when having to have a permit by a city or county that violates my Constitutionl Rights how we ever let it get this far.
Permit to carry a weapon. Check.
Permit to hold a rally on public property. Check
Permit to breath air. .....don’t put it past ‘em.
Super! I wish I lived in that part of FL!
