Tea Party organizer vows to burn Pelosi and Perriello in effigy

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The organizer of a "Tea Party" protest in Virginia says he intends to move forward
with plans to burn House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Tom Perriello in effigy next weekend at a rally
to protest Democratic health care legislation.

The event is scheduled for next Saturday in Danville, which borders North Carolina and sits at the southern
end of Perriello's congressional district. Perriello, a Democrat, narrowly won his House seat in 2008 and
is considered a top target of Congressional Republicans in next year's midterm elections.

When news of the rally surfaced Friday, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen
condemned the plans as "shocking and despicable."

But Nigel Coleman, the organizer of the Tea Party, told CNN he doesn't see what all the fuss is about.
The attention, he said, should be on the Democratic plans to overhaul the health care system.

"We're not going to actually set Perriello on fire or Mrs. Pelosi on fire," Coleman said. "But we have been
trying to months to get our point across just how vehemently we are opposed to this health care legislation.
For the House vote to come so close and to know that Mr. Perriello is on the other side, it's a kick in the
stomach that a lot of people couldn't take."
