A Tea Party “PowWow” slated for Mount Pleasant is being
billed as “one of the largest gathering of statewide grassroots activists in
recent memory.”

Scheduled for next Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Indian casino, Soaring
Eagle Casino & Resort, this “Taking The Field” event will be a joint political
rally for Michigan tea party organizations and the Citizens For Liberty groups.

Todd Courser of Lapeer County, a frequent critic of mainstream
Republicans, has sent out email invitations with this sales pitch:

“I will be speaking along with many other activists and
leaders. Everyone who is anyone in the grassroots movement will be there so you
better be too!”
 

The event carries a $10 price tag, which includes lunch. If you’re interested

I’m
not sure what the Native American tribes in the Mount Pleasant area will think
of an event that is billed as a “pow wow.” Who knows, maybe Trucker Randy
Bishop will show up in a Washington Redskins jersey.
