What happened at the White House Tea Party today?
Some reports are saying that security has shut the protesting activities down...? Anyone have any scoop on what happened or is happening there?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There were permit problems. The Secret Service shut them down for lack of a permit.

Thanks for following up...and for the link...there's probably more to this story than has been reported as yet, but who knows...
I see that in the Washington Post online. http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/15/tossed-package-ends-white-house-tea-party/ Oddly enough, when I searched before, the only information I got was the permit issue.
I thought it was something about a box or package being tossed over the gates into the lawn area or something like that...huh, no security breach issues...? ok. I'll do a quick check as I'm now in front of a computer, but if nothing else went on or if no one else want to reply with an answer, I'll vote on this in a few hours. Thanks for your response srgothard :)
Isn't it ironic that you'd need a permit (aka permission) to exercise your RIGHT to peacefully assemble and protest.
