The Cape Coral city fathers have little use for your outdated 220 year old document

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A tea party to protest government spending and taxing is canceled. Canceled by the government.

Why? They feel too many people could show-up.

Lynn Rosko planned to hold a tax payer tea party at Jaycee Park in Cape Coral on April 1st. The idea was announced at a Cape Coral City Council meeting, then an e-mail blast by the Republican Party and it was mentioned in the local media.

With all of that attention, the City of Cape Coral felt there could be more than 500 people attending the tea party.

Therefore Rosko needed to get a permit and insurance for the event. Rosko says she's not willing to get insurance and accept liability for something that a stranger could do. Rosko told WINK News, "I have rescinded any organizing or supervision or what ever you want to call it over this tea party on April 1st."

A couple of things: Does this happen with other groups? We're kind of new to this whole "organizing" and "protest" thing but were wondering if we'll run into the same 1st amendment contrarian legalese on April 11th here in San Diego. And God bless Ms. Rosko but what's to stop all these people from showing up anyway, permit or not? Again, we defer to the 1st amendment.
