Planning for Round 2 of the nation's tea parties is under way – with more than 350 cities planning protests for Independence Day.
While WND has been tracking 34 upcoming tea parties across the nation, the American Family Association has posted a list of rallies in 366 cities and 47 states for July 4.
AFA is sponsoring Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties to be held at 12 p.m. in front of city halls across the nation.
The organization launched a Tea Party Day website before the Tax Day events so volunteer organizers may register their protests with AFA.
Michael DePrimo, special counsel to AFA President Tim Wildmon, told WND that AFA is still being inundated with e-mails from citizens who want to attend or organize tea parties in their own cities.
"Our goal is simply to keep the grassroots organizations mobilized," he said. "We want to keep people pumped up and excited, and we want them to continue to knock on the door of Congress and the White House."

Excellent!
I’ll be at the Orange County, ca. rally!!!
Aren’t we having one in Atlanta?
AFA seems to be a sincere organization, but I don’t like there attempt to co-op the Tea Party Movement by claiming they are sponsoring the 4th of July events. The are simply sponsoring a listing of these events and they should be called to task on this.
“Aren’t we having one in Atlanta?”
it’s early...
Me too.
Can we call them Freedom Rallies this time??
We are planning a tea party on May 30, the original Memorial Day, here in Wasilla. Details will follow.
I love it when a plan comes together..... Need more!!!
” You never know, but I don’t think alot of people will sacrifice their holiday for a protest. I hope I’m wrong.”
I hope so too, hope folks make it a family event. The Boston one should be good, I’ll hang around for the fireworks later that night!
We need another Houston one.
I agree with you on this one. Our family will not be able to participate on the 4th. I think Memorial Day weekend would be much better.
Hmmm. Seems that Warner Robins wants to keep theirs a secret, it’s never listed on any list, but we did have a Tea Party on April 15, well attended too.
Another one is planned for July 4, but of course, no one is hearing about it, it’s not listed anywhere. :(
ping - may 30 Protests
“ping - may 30 Protests”
may 30 = JULY 4th.
