(WSB Radio)  A sequel to the Tea Party at the State Capitol in April has been cancelled.  It was to be held in the parking lot of the old Macy's at Gwinnett Place Mall on July 4th.

One of the organizers, Debbie Dooley, tells WSB's Sandra Parrish that the company that leases the mall, Simon Property Group, objected and forced the cancellation of the event.

"This has activated and angered a lot of people," says Dooley.

She says fireworks were planned and WSB's Herman Cain was a featured guest.

Les Morris, a spokesman for the mall, says in a written statement: "Gwinnett Place Mall is not public property, but is privately owned. In order to preserve the shopping experience for all guests, it is our standing policy not to permit political protests or rallies on mall property. To clarify the timing of our decision, mall management was not notified of the event or contacted for approval on event plans until just last week."

He goes on to say that the company just learned of the event last week.

Dooley says while the owner of the property agreed to hold the event there, Simon invoked a clause in its lease in which the mall was able to assert authority on the matter due to reciprocal property easement agreements.

She says now that the event is cancelled, she's hoping those who planned to attend will go to Cobb County's tea party July 3rd at Jim Miller Park.

Dooley says her group is planning another tea party to rival the one held in April sometime this fall.
