Cincinnati Tea Party Draws 7,000 on a Weeknight.

One no-show was Sean Hannity of Fox news who was to tape his nightly program there but was called to NY on ‘personal’ and later revised ‘technical’ reasons based on perceived conflicts of interests.  As usual the media seized upon this by asking if I was disappointed, and I said not especially because it’s the people; not a personality,  which celebrate our liberty.  
WCPO channel 9 carried the quote: "I think it's a great time to get together with like-minded people to rediscover our founding principles that made this country strong.  We've gotten far too away from that and it's time to get back," said Paul Wheeler from Indianapolis.
