Searchlight Nevada : Tea Party targets Reid
Thousands of tea party activists streamed in to Sen. Harry Reid’s local in Nevada Saturday morning, bringing American flags, “Don’t Tread on Me” indicators and outspoken anger toward President Barack Obama and his well being care overhaul.
The activists’ star, Sarah Palin, will rally the crowds later on Saturday from the makeshift stage in the patch of dusty desert about 60 miles north of Las Vegas.
Coordinators predict as many as 10,000 individuals could arrive to tiny Searchlight, the hardscrabble previous mining town exactly where the Senate Democratic leader grew up and owns a house. By midmorning, cars and RVs filled the region as individuals set up lawn chairs and braced against a stiff wind whipping up dust clouds and blowing dozens of flags straight out.
