**Update (April 13): Rallies scheduled all over Colorado (in at least 16 cities); Leftist smear tactics continue

From the folks at FreedomWorks.
Get started with a roundup of links at Gateway Pundit and Michelle Malkin. Denver's Tax Day Tea Party can be found on Facebook (also here)--with a tentative schedule (plan on arriving by 11:30am, with conclusion by 1:30pm):

There are at least 300 confirmed cities hosting a Tax Day Tea Party rally--even a low-ball, extremely conservative estimate of 1000 participants at each rally means that there could very well likely be somewhere in the neighborhood of five hundred thousand passionate Americans fighting for liberty on April 15.
The grassroots element of these loosely affiliated and locally organized actions has been clearly demonstrated--johnny-come-latelies like RNC Chair Michael Steele have been politely turned down when offering their speaking services.
The Left has also recognized the true scope of this upsurge in pro-liberty activity from libertarians, Republicans, and conservatives. Their solution?
Hijack.
Sabotage.
Infiltrate.
Smear.
Discredit.
Roger Simon offers some pointers on dealing with lefty agents provacateurs.
Instapundit Glenn Reynolds has a video update from PJTV on the Tea Parties across the country.
There are more important questions in the days that come after the fervor of April 15 has passed--what next?
Not all are convinced of the constructive nature of the rallies, but it looks like this is turning out to be a very small minority.

Of course not! Why would anyone conclude that errors are geographical? Errors are errors and attempts to reinflate the British economy using the same hot air compressors that we use here aren’t going to work any better over there than they have here.
