U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann is scheduled to join fellow former GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain as a speaker at a “Unity” Tea Party rally at the Republican National Convention – an event aimed at both promoting solidarity with the party and serving notice to it that the Tea Party can't be ignored.

The Tea Party has held events in Duluth around the tax return deadline for a few years. But organizers expect this one will to be the largest and hope it will attract thousands of supporters of a smaller government. Wisconsin Congressman Ron Johnson will be the featured speaker and a contingent from Michigan will also be on hand.

A group called the Supreme White Alliance is planning a rally in Duluth to protest an ad campaign with the slogan "It’s hard to see racism when you’re white." Activists on the other side are encouraging people to stay away and not engage with a group that they say is seeking attention and trying to recruit new members.

Gov. Dayton and Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken were among the crowd that packed St. Mark's Episcopal in downtown Minneapolis. Mondale died last month after a battle with brain cancer.

A member of the Supreme White Alliance says people from around the country will come to Duluth for the rally. It's in response to the city's anti-racism campaign that focuses on white privilege.

Members of Stormfront.org say there will be a rally in Duluth on the morning of March 3rd to protest a controversial advertising campaign meant to draw attention to racial inequalities.

The News Tribune reports several dozen counter-protesters yelled and threw snowballs at about ten members of the white supremacy group Saturday morning. Police say four people were arrested for disorderly conduct. Members of the SWA organized the rally in reaction to the city's anti-racism campaign that focuses on white privilege. About 300 people gathered at a separate rally in Canal Park.
