3. Tea Party rally draws 300 in EP to bash government

EL PASO -- About 300 fed-up El Pasoans joined a nationwide Tea Party movement Wednesday to show their opposition to government bailout programs and to voice their displeasure with President Obama's health-care plan.

The national Tea Party Express, a grass-roots organization that opposes higher taxes and government intervention, stopped in Northeast El Paso for a two-hour rally.

"This is awesome," Mark Williams, a national radio talk show host, said as he stepped off the Tea Party bus. "People here are enthusiastic and excited about the future of this country. We are taking back this country from the government."
