Two weeks after the Richmond Tea Party delivered an invoice to Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones for costs incurred for previous rallies, we received a letter from the City of Richmond formally stating that the city is auditing our Tea Party. Coincidence? This audit is an obvious attempt to intimidate and harass us for standing up against the unfair treatment and discrimination against our Tea Party.
First some back story: as reported on the front page of the Richmond Times Dispatch, the Richmond Tea Party delivered an invoice for charges incurred in our previous three Tax Day rallies at Kanawha Plaza because Mayor Jones chose to allow Occupy Richmond protesters to convene in the same park for two weeks.
"Wearing Three Cornered Hats on Four Cornered heads does not allow for proper circulation and can cause paranoid delusions. Perhaps they should go buy some more revolutionary regalia and stop complaining about fairness."

You mean one that can't be explained by ideological opposition to one event and ideological empathy for the other? I don't know Kate, what explanation would you like us to consider outside of the most obvious one? I suppose it could be entirely coincidental that the city decided to audit the Tea Party two weeks after they requested the fees that they were required to pay, that other rallies are not similarly being required to pay, be returned to them since all citizens are guaranteed equal treatment under the law, but on its face it bears a striking resemblance to retaliation. Arresting protesters who camped out overnight to bring attention to homelessness earlier in the year and allowing the current crop of park occupiers to remain will also make it pretty difficult to deny that favoritism is being shown by the current administration of the city. One can only guess that allowing a city to devolve from a city of laws to a city of men isn't going to be well received by the citizens of that city.

Evidently you speak from experience... did it hurt much?

One of the better cartoons on Occupy Wall Street. I think a more salient point would be that Wall Street and the Government are collaborators, not competitors, but this is still closer to Truth then most of the “commentary”.
Unless of course you're a zombie-teat-sucking-entitled-partisan.
