People, who are upset with what they believe is "reckless government spending," met this Thursday night on the Grand Strand. It's part of the tea party movement.

Nearly 100 people gathered in Downtown Myrtle Beach to listen to several speakers.

Topics included opposition to national health care, cap and trade, and illegal immigration.

A former Canadian doctor railed against government run health care.

He says the United States is headed toward socialism.

Myrtle Beach Tea Party President Luke Towery agreed.

"We want to be able to pass the baton of freedom on to future generations. We stand against big government, big government spending and the inevitable taxes to pay for it all," said Towery.

The Myrtle Beach Tea Party plans to meet again sometime in January.
