93. "one organizer said that she counted 1,500 on the high end of attendance"
Edited on Mon Aug-02-10 12:20 PM by Urban Prairie
She must have counted what very optimistically looks like at best, about 100 people in attendance, 150 times to arrive at that estimate..heh!!

After checking several Tea Party membership rolls online, out of what appears to be several hundred groups here in Michigan, I noticed that many members registered multiple times for the same group, whether by accident or intentionally to inflate their numbers, I do not know. But I would think that the group founders would purge those multiple registrations..yeah, right!!

For example, the following Tea Party group has at least 10 members out of the 86 that they claim to have, that are just the same names of people who registered more than once, as well as at least two people who I noticed that have registered as members on likely every other Tea Party group in Michigan (Amy Hawkins & Daar Fisher)

Edit: After I checked several more Tea Party groups here, there are many groups whose founder is the ONLY member who lives in the region that he or she "represents". The rest of their group's membership are comprised so far of a few people who have also registered for every Tea Party group in the state..lol!!
