11. The Tennessean on line said 3k for the TEA..........
and over 100 baggers, but I didn't see that many of the opposition. I suppose there might have been more of them before I got there.

It was pretty darn inspiring.

2. There were Tea Partiers there?
Was it some small group of 5 people surrounded by the thousands of people protesting the anti-union offensive?
