Right-Wing Activists Attend Inaugural Tea Party Convention
----------------------------------------------------------



Right-wing activists are meeting in Nashville, Tennessee today for the
inaugural National Tea Party Convention. The gathering has faced
controversy over allegations of profiteering by convention organizers.
Attendees have paid over $500 dollars a ticket in addition to
transportation and lodging costs for the three-day event. Former Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin will receive $100,000 dollars to deliver the
convention’s keynote address.
