'Seditious' Conservatives Attacked in Marin County

By Sally Zelikovsky

""I don't agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it" is no longer in vogue for some Mill Valley (Marin County, California) residents.

Ryan White recently wrote an excellent piece in the Mill Valley Herald about the upcoming "GroupaPalooza" at the Mill Valley Recreation Center -- a private gathering that will bring together conservative groups, candidates and the conservative community.

Yet, a former AP reporter, Deborah Phelan, has asked city officials to cancel the GroupaPalooza. The former AP reporter told White that "our local government has to make a stand against this movement, which I view as seditious."

By movement, she is referring to the Tea Parties. By seditious, she is just plain wrong. Tea Parties have been popping up across the land to protest an ever-expanding government that is taxing more, spending more and intruding more on individual liberties. The Tea Party movement is not about subverting the Constitution but restoring constitutional governance."
