Tucson Tea Party rally at TEP
They came with signs, T-shirts and petitions expressing skepticism, fear and anger. About 6,000 people descended Saturday on Tucson Electric Park for the Tucson Tea Party event,
billed as "Tucson's Last Stand."
The event kicked off with Tucson Tea Party organizer Trent Humphries expressing his own brand of hope
for the future: "I love the smell of freedom in the morning."
By 8:07 a.m., nearly two hours before the speeches began, the main parking lot of TEP was filling up.
A random survey of one aisle found a car with a bumper sticker for limited-government
advocate Ron Paul,next to another with an "I'm NRA and I vote" sticker, adjacent to one with a fading "W 04" sticker. Folks were serving coffee out of thermoses and handing out muffins and doughnuts.Vendors were selling small American flags and Kettle Korn.
