Convention Gets Local 'Tea' Activists Energized

Post by Appaholic »

Horseshoe, NC - Local Tea Party activists are energized after the national Tea Party conference in Nashville, Tenn. last week.

"This kind of a phenomenon is an American phenomenon," said Bill O'Connor, who heads the Henderson County group. "It can only happen in America."

Roger Rusnak, who also attended the convention, said he was excited by the diversity of people and organizations at the event, which drew about 600 people. The media, he said, tried to paint the event as lacking in diversity, but he said he saw about a dozen minorities.
