‘Tampa Tea Party’ Pours Scorn On Stimulus Package

TAMPA - There were no tomahawk-wielding Colonials dumping boxes of English tea into the Hillsborough River, and fortunately, nobody was tarred and feathered.

But the protesters who gathered today on the steps of the federal courthouse in downtown to protest President Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill came with a message similar to their brethren 236 years ago: Take your tea and shove it.

“We wanted to let the people in Washington know how angry we are about the stimulus bill,” said John Hendricks, a Tampa-based consultant who organized the gathering.
