This is something that has burned my ass from the beginning. The Tea Parties have been uniformly coordinated with municipalities, legally permitted, orderly, and left no footprint. These scumbag OWS mobs have done the exact opposite and have not been held accountable for any of it until the last day or two.
Personally, I think anyone should be able to gather anywhere without a stinking permit. That reeks of government doling out our right to assemble. But like good little conservatives, we obey the rules and do it the way you're supposed to do it, while human filth fills the public square without any consideration of propriety - and the same municipalities that the Tea Parties treated with such care allow the filth to destroy peace and tranquility with no accountability.
It is good that the Richmond Tea Party is sueing to draw attention to this disparity. Make city leaders publicly eat their double-standard.

Richmond Tea Party Sues City: Charge #Occupy Protesters Or Refund $10,000 For Rallies at Plaza (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/10/richmond-tea-party-sues-city-charge-occupy-protesters-or-refund-10000-for-rallies-at-plaza/)

Gateway Pundit's headline is misleading--the tea party group has sent an invoice to the city requesting a refund. Perhaps I missed something but I don't see a lawsuit mentioned.
No doubt the Richmond officials will squirm up an answer to cover their a$$es.
I hope they continue to make an issue of it.

It's not necessary for it to have been the same park, if the Tea Party paid compliance
fees in the same city or township these scuzzbags are fouling, they should sue.
They all ought to sue.
-
This needs to catch on..... Tea Party should petition everywhere they have paid a fee where the occupy wall stret crowd gathered.

Good catch - title amended for accuracy.

They all ought to sue.
In the interest of fairness of course.

Yes, love the pushback! And it should be reinforced with a lawsuit based upon 1st Amendment rights of free speech and assembly and argued in the context of equality under the law!

Levin was talking about this yesterday. He pointed out that not only should it be equally applied (or not applied), the OWS crowd should pay the fee for each day. The Tea Party organizers had to pay that for one day of assembly.

TEA Party to Sue Atlanta Over Giving Occupy Protesters Special Treatment
Filed under Politics
"Local Tea Party organizers are threatening to sue the city of Atlanta, saying Mayor Kasim Reed has given special treatment to Occupy Atlanta protesters.
Atlanta Tea Party co-founder Julianne Thompson told Channel 2 Action News that the group, which supports limited taxes and reduced government deficits, has made a request in writing after being denied permission to hold an event downtown because city officials said there was too much red tape and cost involved.
“I think it’s very sad that in the city of Atlanta, we seem to have a mayor who picks and chooses who receives special rights regarding free speech — based on his political ideology,” Thompson told Channel 2.
Debbie Dooley, national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, told the AJC that the group had inquired about renting Woodruff Park or Centennial Olympic park but had decided against it due to fees, red tape and restrictions.
If Tea Party members had used civil disobedience, “we would have been removed and arrested,” Dooley said."

Tea Party needs to keep petitioning cities. If the news keeps getting worse and liberals are called on their biases, the soros money will dry up....and the protestors will go back to thier moms basement.

Absolutely, this is another form of sanctuary city that the fed endorses and
liberal big cities (is there a conservative big city?) support. They ought
to cut the request and go for the suit. No, wait! Going straight to court would
be a tactic of the extortionists. Yeah, good for them giving the cities an opportunity
to do the right thing.

But make sure they know you're preparing a legal case just to keep the heat on.

Preparation is the key.....Give the cities the opportunity to make it right, but I'm betting we will need at least one lawsuit filed to show inequality will be challenged.

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.
The Mayor not only allowed the Occupiers to break the law, but he visited them in the city-owned park. “Jones said that as a ‘child of civil rights’ and protests, he had allowed the group to remain in the park but understands his mayoral responsibility to uphold laws of the city,” reported the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Apparently his mayoral duties included preferential treatment for a group he sympathizes with ideologically at the expense of the taxpayers.
The blog Virginia Right reported that the city provided services such as portable toilets, trash pickup, etc. The incomplete invoices obtained from the city totaled $7,000. This was only a portion of the actual costs to taxpayers because the costs of police, helicopter and incarcerations were not included. Also not accounted for was the 24-hour police protection of the Mayor’s home after the Occupiers moved their camp next door to the Mayor’s house. The Richmond Tea Party, conversely, paid for all services for our rallies, including the police, portable toilets, park fees and permits, amounting to approximately $8,500.

Well, since the city likes being told to FO by the OWS trash and since the mayor likes civil rights demonstrations, then the local Tea Party org is fully justified in calling a press conference where they announce their civil disobedience of city hall, declare their rule tyrannical, unconstitutional and un-American, light effigies of the mayor on fire and tell city hall to FOAD!!!

thanks for the update
I guess the libs haven't gotten the memo--intimidation MOTIVATES the tea party

The city is just depending on people who are hardworking, moral and decent to continue to be. The barbarian left always uses our civilized nature against us. They depend on it, just as bullies depend on their victims excercising restraint. ( and when a victim finally loses it, who will leftist teachers punish? The Victim. after all, it is he they have to keep in line. The bullies will make good shock troops in the revolution, the victims, good livestock, provided they are good obediant sheep. All I can hope for is that we, as a group, finally are ready to bodyslam these bullies, we use Ender's solution. The bullies should not survive the inital assault.
