The town under a microscope is Greenwood, Mississippi. Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel and Liberty University explains what has transpired.
"Greenwood officials have denied the use of city hall as a venue for the upcoming taxpayers' protest," he says, "[and they] relied on a 1963 ordinance that was designed back then to literally stifle civil rights marches and other protests."

TEA Party shifted to park

The TEA party in Greenwood is still scheduled to go forward — just not outside City Hall.
Cindy Saulter, who is organizing the anti-tax rally, appeared before the City Council Tuesday to request permission to hold the gathering outside Greenwood City Hall on Wednesday, April 15 n tax day.
“This is not politics,” she said, “It’s not Democrats. It’s not Republicans. It’s not a racial thing. It’s a TEA party. We are Taxed Enough Already.”
*******
Hopefully I can have some pics of the event.
