Locally & nationally organized 'tea party' rally protesting multi-party spending & the Obama stimulus package was held in downtown St.Louis.

St.Louis held its second edition of the 'Tea Parties' downtown at Kiener Plaza across the street from the Old Courthouse. Despite reports organizers were mainly local involving a St.Louis radio talkshow host, Dana Loesch & local business owner, Bill Hennessy with the help of such social networks as Facebook. A handful of people spoke & the only local politician in attendance was U.S. Representative Todd Akin who did not speak.
