TEA Party rally to burn Perriello in effigy
The Danville TEA Party plans a "Fired Up For Freedom" rally Nov. 21, which will end in burning Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th District, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in effigy, according to a news release from organizer Nigel Coleman.The news release had an original embargo of Nov. 20, meaning the media couldn't report it until that date. However, another news organization broke the embargo Friday afternoon by posting the story online. The rally will be held at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at 5927 U.S. 29 in Blairs. The event is open to the public. "We were outraged to find that Tom Perriello had voted in favor of this bill. I was with dozens of 5th District voters in his office two days before the vote and we pleaded with him to stand with us against the Pelosi plan," Coleman, Danville TEA Party chairman, said. TEA Party Patriots is a national, nonprofit group that promotes fiscal responsibility, limited government and free market principles, according to the release. Local TEA Party groups like Danville's are autonomous and separate from the national organization. Posted by: Fred 2009-11-15 |
