One list can be found by clicking on the image in the upper left or by going to Tea Party Patriots.
A second list may be found at Tea Party Day.
Be sensible. These parties are both a grassroots movement and the efforts of a number of regional and national groups with agendas. The followers of Ron Paul are heavily involved in some areas. The Libertarian Party is also an organizer in places. If Barry Obama’s “real” birth certificate is not something you worry about, or the actions of the Tri-Lateral Commission bore you, you might find some of the people at a Tea Party just a little off-putting.
A large number of people with a variety of beliefs are joining together for this movement. Bite your tongue or keep it firmly planted in your cheek if you must, but the overarching message of the movement must come through to the media and those undecideds. We are tired of graft, corruption, taxation and the lack of control over our own lives and our own earnings.
Play nice for the cameras. If interviewed, be concise and direct. Taxes, pork and government out of control. A, B and C.

This is 2009 information.
UPDATE: 4-17-2009 20:00
UPDATES marked *** and notes on them will follow the table.
The massive number of Tea Party protests held on Tax Day are over. While the counts are unofficial, there are some numbers available.
The city counts for the nationwide Tea Party protests yesterday can be found at Freedom Press. I have used their numbers as of 5:30 yesterday.
Please feel free to check my addition, and totals. I tried to see what Pajamas TV had but their site is blank at this moment. It appears as if this list is short about 250 protests.
