As I reported in this prior post, the Tea Party movement in Rhode Island has been banned from participating in the oldest Independence Day parade in America in future years because some members of the group (gasp!) were distributing copies of the Declaration/ Constitution. A leader of the RI group wrote
We were told unequivocally that our group was "horrible", "not to waste the stamp to send in an application in the future", and that the Committee never wanted "those people" of the RI Tea Party to participate in the parade in the first place.
Following up, there is now video available showing the Tea Party float in action. If you can find something that looks wrong, or out of the ordinary from what you have seen at any number of parades, you’re better than me…
