Did Obama Supporter Shut Down Atlanta Tea Party?

President Obama may restrict his reaction to the nationwide tea party movement whereby tens of thousands of people are objecting to the spending spree on which the U.S. government has embarked under his leadership, but some of his supporters are taking more direct action: using an easement agreement to cancel a July 4th event scheduled on private property in Atlanta.

All 20,000 should still go, let em' try to stop them, I don't think the cops would weigh in on 20,000 people. So what if they hand out a few fines, and some might spend a night or two in the slammer. You can bet your sweet buns the Bolsheviks wouldn't let something like private property, or obeying the Law stop them.

Thw way that it was presented to me : The Chairman of the Board of Simon and Simon ( Mall developers) and his wife are one of the top cash donors to the Democratic party, since they control the property that the T-Party was to be held on they cancelled the agreement with the T-Party members. Now you will have to figure out this thing called on hand washes the other. Chicago style lol

DO NOT let this stop you from having the Tea Party in Atlanta! Find another site or join other Tea Parties, but do not give up! Now, more than ever, we need to let our voices be heard loud and clear because THEY are not listening to us in D.C. They have their agenda of destruction and don't care one bit about WE, THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

BEEBEE....you missed ED_GAs' point. You don';t need organizers for this...you just need the people of Atlanta & GA who feel this was a political move to stop the tea party to just show up/park/wear clothing stateing their purpose (use marks a lot on white tee shirt...that simple)/walk the mall peacefully/buy nothing. If just one person called a local radio station (1 with open minded DJs) and I bet they could fill the parking lot. The owners can't tow away 3000 cars and they can't have 3000 people arrested. You are just window shopping. Do that every Saturday till the end of the year and you will make your point. Congress & the Presidency are not above the PEOPLE. Constitution starts with "We the people..........."

A similar stunt was tried in DC! But they were able to reschedule for July 5th, as I understand it. PLEASE do not swallow the pretenses espoused by the "oppositon". The "tea parties" are keeping them awake at nights! And that they have been peaceful and non-violent, not to mention non-partisan, is just beyond their comprehension. YES WE WILL!

I would not go as far as Goodbye US, but I really dislike the way members of Congress has abused their power. The fear tactics of BHO, comments "WE WON", my god it sounds so much like high school. The people who voted for his man, probably thought they were going to have a free ride. Well, they need to wake up, cause this country is going fast down the drain. Where is the birth certificate? I am tired of the constitution being shredded. I am tired of BHO committing treason.

Reposting the best idea seen on this question. Thank you ED_GA 6/26. Read and organize." We should show up early at the mall on the 4th and take up all the parking places. Put signs in your car windows after you park and wear shirts with our views while walking around the mall without spending any money. Other city's with hill malls should do the same." Peaceful protest...the American way. Way to go ED_GA.

Long reading but might be interesting,
We are a nation founded on individual natural rights where all citizens are equal under the law.  When the government ignores the governed the people must establish new constraints and reestablish our God given rights under the Constitution.  Our objective is to fix what is broken without party affiliation but a commitment to Americans and our future generations.   Our founding fathers took these principles to heart sacrificing personal wealth, risking treason in an effort to create the greatest human experiment, a self-governed nation of free people.  We the people must make the same sacrifices and service as our founding fathers to alter the destructive path our current government is leading us down.  This is the beginning of our American plea.

Apparently no one read the article...this was going to be on private property. In America, if someone owns the property, they can decide who protests on it. This wasn't public property.

They had "permission" to use this property since March- and only last week, when it was too late to get another venue did this Simple Simon decide they could not use the property next to his mall. It was not an innocent thing- he knew and he waited, in order to prevent the group from holding their protest.
Someone suggested that the rally be held, "silently" if you will on the 4th. People show up, park in his parking lots, with cars filled with TeaParty signs, and then enter his malls, wearing rally t- shirts and browse in the mall all day- not shopping or buying anything!! Can't carry signs in the malls, but if thousands of people clogged the mall- it would probably get the message out!
