Tea Parties Rally Around the State

Capitol Report New Mexico - At roughly the same time that taxes are due, a number of chapters of the Tea Party movement held rallies across the state. On Friday (April 15), a rally was held in Albuquerque (you can click here to see how the Albuquerque Journal covered the event and click here for KOB-TV’s coverage) as well as Moriarty and Farmington. On Saturday, rallies were held in Silver City, Lincoln County, Deming and Santa Fe. We dropped by the Santa Fe event, in which a couple hundred people gathered at the Plaza downtown. Afterwards, we interviewed John Hosenfeld of the Santa Fe Tea Party about his organization’s main focus, how the Tea Party has influenced national politics, what its stance is on corporations and taxes, whether the movement has any common ground with the political left, and whether the Tea Party needs to compromise in order to grow: News New Mexico
