Government Cancels Anti-Government Protest
Cape “tea party” canceled; City fears too many attendees
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 Rosko told WINK News, “I have rescinded any organizing or supervision or what ever you want to call it over this tea party on April 1st.”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.

GO ANYWAY! Its STILL AMERICA right?
They have NO RIGHT to stop people from gathering at a PUBLIC PARK to discuss UNFAIR TAXATION!
Sounding more and more like Communist China everyday! I bet if it was LaRaza or GayLezbian organization…NO PROBLEM!
Fuck Them… ITS YOUR RIGHT!
I hope they get 5000 people thier!!!
WE need to rise up against this shit! I was wondering when they would start this.
Real simple, the idea is passed around by email and anonymous flyers. The crowd shows up with signs and self organizes on the spot. No one individual is responsible for it.
See, that’s the problem with us conservatives. Wheres the convition, the desire to do whats right and speak up?
Letting a little problem like paying for insurance get in the way of standing up for principles is silly.
Randy, I hope that everyone will show up anyway. I don’t feel it’s a lack of conviction on the part of the people that organized this event. Maybe you would like to pony up the money for the “little problem” insurance?
Go ANYWAY, DAMMIT!
Grab your stones and take this country back!
When We the People have to seek permits (permission) from the government to exercise our Constitutional Rights, then We, the People have acknowledged that Government is Master and We are slaves.
Fuckin Million Man March was a bit excessive in Numbers?
That fucker wasn’t canceled! We need us a White Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton type to whine like a little Bitch and sue someone over this!
There will be a tea party in Houston on April 15th in front of the Post Office on Franklin St in downtown from 4pm to 11pm. I’m just sayin….
The Revolution has been canceled… By the Government
this is ridiculous. show up anyways. there is no crime for massing in public. screw the permit. screw the permission of any kind. just show up
Time for conservatives to run for office.
The government doesn’t get to “cancel” a revolution. We already proved that once.
Have the tea party and hope even more people show up.
since when do you actually think the lefties get permits and insurance. Fuck all they do is show up and destroy the town….and yet we have to get the permits. Name one conservative protest in the past 100 years where it turned into a full scale riot. I’d ask you to do the same with the leftist protests…but then again you wouldn’t have any that didn’t turn into a riot.
This should now be a hang and shoot Coral Gables City employees Tea Party.
I would love to join that shit…..It is time for the REVOLUTION against Liberalism.

“needed to get a permit and insurance”?
I guess this one’s just not good enough for them!

Kirk, you nailed this. There’s REALLY nothing they could do to stop this, that would hold-up in court.
I know I’m a bit late on this, but there’s still the major protests on the 15th.
I guarantee the good Patriots in Boston didn’t have a permit to hijack and dump that load of tea into the harbor.
I’m OOT otherwise I would make a point of driving there and showing up with my Don’t Tread on Me shirt and sign.

Count me in on a spot of tea!
