Ga. tea parties set to rally

ATLANTA - Georgia's tea party is set to brew.

Tea party activists will gather at the state Capitol Thursday night for the second annual tax day rally.

Last year's event headlined by Fox News Channel conservative pundit Sean Hannity drew thousands of Georgians protesting, government spending, bailouts and high taxes.

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto and Ginny Thomas, wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, are scheduled to appear this year.

At least seven other rallies are planned around the state... including one at the Forsyth County Courthouse in Cumming from 4:30-6:30 Thursday afternoon.

Meanwhile, leaders of the Atlanta Tea Party say they will announce endorsements Thursday in the ninth and seventh congressional districts. Nathan Deal stepped down as congressman in the ninth district to run for governor. In the seventh district, John Linder is retiring after 18 years in the House.
