Democratic U.S. administration wants to pass a Universal Health Plan. In the U.S. there are 46 million uninsured.

On April 15 more than half a million Americans took to the streets to express their discontent with the political direction the new administration initiated by Obama. The festivities of Tea (Tea Parties) refer to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, one of the triggers episodes of the War of Independence of the United States. The governor of Texas, Republican Rick Perry, led the largest concentration of its state. After the event, in clear reference to the Obama administration, Gov. Perry came to mention the secession of Texas as a future risk to the federal government's increasing interference in state affairs.
The protesters accused the new president to cement the destruction of the country in economic, socio-political and spiritual. These events have had wide coverage in the U.S., mainly by television and radio on the Fox and its affiliates who have been the main promoters of the protests.
