Atlanta TEA Party Plans Abruptly Shut Down

With as many as 20,000 people in attendance, the Atlanta Tea Party on April 15 was one of the largest and most successful Tea Parties in the country. The Atlanta Tea Party on July 4, 2009 had been expected to be just as large. Unfortunately, plans have changed. Simon Property Group� has forced the cancellation of the Atlanta Tea Party.

The Tea Party had been scheduled to take place in the parking lot of the old Macy’s building at Gwinnett� Place� since March.

UPDATE: A leading Atlanta TEA Party organizer is reportedly going to be featured on the Glen Beck Show on Monday, 6 July 2009, 5pm.
