The 2010 Detroit auto show will be getting a political visit from more than just the Democratic side of Washington, thanks to a protest organized by national Tea Party activists set for Monday.
The anti-tax group National Tax Day Tea Party has called on supporters from southeast Michigan to "make a peaceful yet clear statement against government takeover of America," namely the Obama administration's 61% stake in General Motors.
The group, which is planning a major rally in Washington for April 15, is part of a network of staunchly conservative opponents of President Obama and the Democratic Congress that have been gaining traction in recent months, especially over stimulus and health-care reform.
