As well as my buddy Allen West, who was also there, along with people of all kinds and backgrounds that had a big problem with the federal government completely overstepping their 10th amendment limits. If those don't qualify as AMERICANS to you, I don't know what to say.
And just for the record, I get my news from as many sources as possible, since all of them, including FOX, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc, etc.... have an agenda, and a slant, both in the wording of their reporting, as well as what stories are covered, and which are not.

It was a Nov protest marketing the national protest day/week/month, where people in Fl got together and got signatures to remind Obama to keep his promises. Yes, some people got together 'outside of the city halls' in cities all over, and went against many things - being that it was national protest day.
The biggest message, across the country, was without question Obama's stimulus plan, and blaming Bush's bailout on Obama.
No, I don't consider the tea party protesters to be equal Americans in ideals to those in Wisconsin. Nor your protest in FL - it's not anywhere on the same scale of things. Most of the tea party protests were laughed at by most Americans... what's going on in Wisconsin isn't a laughing mater.
