Article #1

Title: Thousands Attend Tea Parties
Paper: The Detroit News
By: Delores Flynn and Valerie Olander

I found this article to be very interesting for several reasons. First because it is talking about our government, country, and fellow citizens. The subject of this article is something that affects everyone. I felt that this was worthy of news because it is something everyone should be aware of.

This article was about how several thousand people gathered together in Jackson, Brighton, and Troy, Michigan to protest the House bill 3200 which is a plan to reform health care. The protests are called Tea Parties. Many people feel that the plan is moving our country in a socialist direction and will not improve our country or economy at all. Many of the people that attended these party rallies said that Washington is not listening to it's people and we have to make ourselves heard.
