Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords did not show up Thursday night downtown at La Placita to greet the Tucson Tea Partiers, but a great group of taxpayer activists did show up to make their voices heard on local media. Their main complaint: the prospect of government-run health care. Tucson Tea Party co-organizer Robert Mayer spoke to the crowd, as did local radio personality Jon Justice (he's the one speaking in this video).
