On the other side, about 24 couterprotesters turned out, complete with AstroTurf signs:
Note these signs were brought in and professionally made, as compared to those shown above at the tea party. That being said, the counterprotesters were gracious enough to let me interview them. It will take time to upload all the content, but here's a sampling I got from couterprotester 'Karen':
None of them could tell me what Constitutional authority Congress had, except to point to social security and Medicare. More to come, so stay tuned. This is the advertisment they used at http://www.moritoriumnowcoalition.org/
Protest Right-wing, racist Tea Party Express rally in Clinton Township
Sunday, April 11

Gather at 9:30 AM
Main Library - Clinton-Macomb Public Library parking lot at 40900 Romeo Plank Road, Clinton Township.  (Tea Party will be next door)

The right-wing, racist Tea Party Express is scheduled to rally in Clinton Township this Sunday, April 11 at 10 AM. 

The Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice, the Moratorium NOW! Coalition Against Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs and Workers World Party are calling for all progressive individuals and groups to protest this racist, anti-worker, neo-fascist movement. 

Let's let them, the media and the nation know that Michigan doesn't welcome their message.  Bring your own signs or pick up one of ours.  If you need a ride call me at 313-680-5508 and we will try to hook you up with someone near you.  If you are driving here is where to go.

Progressives meet at Main Library - Clinton-Macomb Public Library parking lot at 40900 Romeo Plank Road (Tea Party will be next door). Be there at 9:30 AM (Tea Party is scheduled for 10 AM).
