CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Organizers of local tea party organizations say their numbers are growing.
The Tea Party of Bradley County has about 70 or more members attending its Tuesday night meetings, said organizer Donny Harwood, with about 300 signed up for e-mail and Facebook.
Those numbers continue to grow, he said.
“In our mission statement, we are nonpartisan. We have independents, Democrats and Republicans. We are not here to argue. We just want to get the issues out before the public,” Howard said.
For now, they are meeting each Tuesday in September at the Elks Lodge, 235 Second St., at 6:30 p.m.
