Tea Party Rally

The conservative Republican crowd that gathered on the University of Michigan Diag Wednesday night cheered loudly in support of cutting government spending, repealing national health care reforms and putting up further barriers between Mexico and the U.S. The "Take Back Congress" rally sponsored by the U-M College Republicans was organized to provide a boost to Republican congressional candidate Rob Steele's campaign heading into Tuesday's election.

He said that's why Michigan and the United States has "been led to the gates of hell." Read the story here.
