The Tea Party Express departed from San Diego yesterday and will traverse the nation, coast-to-cast, before ending up in Orlando, Florida on Veteran’s day.
The Tea Party Express calls for less government spending, and opposes increased government involvement in health care, corporate bailouts and deficit spending.
Gary Tuchman reports tonight on 360° on the people who are taking part in the protests and looks into why they're frustrated, worried and angry. He'll be live from a protest in Fresno, Calif. tonight.

Protest while we can, Obama hasn't been able to take that away from us............yet! TEA parties are our way to protest the out of control spending, taxation and socialist agenda being forced on us. People who pay NO income tax can't possibly understand why those of us who pay and pay dearly are fed up.
