Tea Parties Generate Media Coverage

On April 15th of this year, there were gatherings all around the country by very civic minded people to protest the way our current government is spending money. In these tough economic times, there are many people that think spending needs to be cut back rather than increased. At these gatherings, protesters made sure their voices were heard loud and clear. At the Tea parties, as these events were called, there was massive media coverage. From the local all the way through the national media outlets, these events were on television and in the newspapers for weeks. The media coverage definitely helped the protesters get their message heard across the nation.
