The North Iowa Tea Party paid to put up the billboard in downtown Mason City, drawing criticism — including criticism from others in the Tea Party movement. Rhodes, the chairman of the Iowa Tea Party, hopes the new blank slate that’s now in that spot could be put to better use.

Correct, Mr. Rhodes. To properly illustrate our nation’s founding, the man in the middle should be owned by one of the others.
