Around the country Wednesday morning thousands of Americans will be getting ready to attend a “Tea Party” for the first time. A lot of folks I know, had no idea what this grassroots movement was all about until I mentioned I will be attending Monroe’s tomorrow evening. I told them what it was all about, and where they could go for a gathering in their area.
In an effort to blunt the message, President Obama came out with one of his feel good speeches Tuesday afternoon. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security says to watch out for these right wing extremists. Its non-partisan Mr. President, both left and right, joining together for a return to an old philosophy of keeping the government’s hands out of the people’s pockets. An American ideal of saying we can stand on our own two feet without Big Brother’s help. In the same “ document ”, the DHS warns that returning veterans are prime recruits for these far right folks, THEY SENT THIS TO COUNTRY’S POLICE FORCES. Why would they not speak out for guaranteed freedoms under the Constitution of which they fought to protect.
I just heard the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry on the television saying there will be 46 tea parties happening in the state on Wednesday and he expects tens to hundreds of thousands to attend. As I posted a while back, there might not be a million attending any one singular event, but add them all up, and I would be willing to bet there will be more attending than any march ever held in Washington D.C.
Some slogans I saw earlier on Tuesday:
T.E.A. stands for Taxed Enough Already
After all the Stimulus, all I have left is CHANGE in my pocket
I will keep my guns and bibles, you keep the CHANGE
There are lots more, and hopefully some good ones will be at St Mary’s Park Wednesday evening at 5 pm for everyone to read at Monroe’s own Tax Day Tea Party.
and the most relevant slogans:
“Audit the FED” and “Inflation is a tax”
obama gave us a measly tax cut just like bush…but it’s all a farce. and the only way to make the connection between massive government spending and taxation is to understand how inflation (expanding the money supply) is a tax. otherwise the people at the tea parties just look like a bunch of republicans who are angry that a democrat won the election, because they sure were quiet for the last 8 years of enormous deficit spending and government expansion. though i know there will be a lot of consistent anti-tax libertarians/conservatives out there.
