Here is an interesting statistic. The reporter from Ch.4 in St. Louis quoted the organizer of our hometown Tea Party as saying that he expected about 100 people to attend the protest. He got 1,000!

He was also quoted as saying: "If I knew so many people were going to show up, I would have charged admission."
