less of a protest like we've seen in past tea party movements. this is more like workshops to learn more about how to use social networking. one of those people is jeffrey mcqueen, come in from michigan to detroit. you're a tea party member there. tell me why you're here and what you hope to get out of this. >> i thought this was my duty to come here. i've been working with the tea party movement since tax day in detroit april 15th. and basically i thought i would come down here like our founding fathers and figure out where we had commonalis and where we go from here. >> what have you learned from the workshops? >> yes, a lot of networking skills and a lot of media skills, how to use the internet and the blogosphere to communicate better. i think that's critical. >> you're holding a plague in your hand. i know this flag was used in part by supporters of scott brown in that special senate election last month in massachusetts. tell me about your connection in that. >> i drove out from michigan.
