There is a TEA party scheduled in Lake County at Ferran Park in Downtown Eustis on April 15 at noon. Here is the web site: http://www.northlaketeaparty.weebly.com
Let us know you’re coming!
I am a neocon Republican who is fed up with both Parties. I need direction. I like the Constitution Party slate, but there is no action here. We need to unite all the splinter groups, i.e. 2nd American Revolution; Oath Keepers; United We Stand; Consitution Party and American Solutions. I believe in Newt and what this group stands for, but is the Tea Party going to be able to unite? DM
Can someone tell me where a “Tea Party” will be held in the Sacramento area on April 15th?
Who in Pensacola, FL can I contact to contribute my time and/or efforts to this most necessary event? I live in Gulf Breeze and am excited at the prospect of the Tea Party coming here.
For the last couple of years I have been telling everyone I know we need to have a tea party before it is too late! I think this is far overdue and will help any way I can. I feel like our country is being taken over before our very eyes and we are allowing it by being silent!
My husband and I will be traveling 4/15/09 through TN, so we will be attending
the one scheduled in Murfreesboro, TN. I hope that our government will be listening for a change.
Can someone help me find a Tea Party in Central PA?
Can anyone tell me if there is a Tea Party planned anywhere in VA or WV?
does anyone know where a tea party will be in atlanta ga?
Just a thought. Has anyone thought of emailing the White House and
telling Obama he is fired? Also to include all of his cronies. If all 344,000
members did so, just maybe we might be able to get the attention the American
people need. We cannot be silent any longer. Lets take our country back now.
contact teaparty-1@cox.net to join a tea party in Pensacola!
Send an email with YES or NO to: teaparty-1@cox.net We are planning one soon
We are having a Tea Party in Centralia, Illinios on the 15 of April come and take part. We would love to have you. It will be held on the conner of South Poplar and 3 RD. street. Just south of the Centralia Motal on the green lot. Look for us from 12:00 noon till 6:00 PM. Bring your SIGNS and have a party with us.
anyone doing tea parties near toledo or surrounding area?????
Here are a few ideas for signs…TELEPROMPTER LIES AS AMERICA DIES!!!
BO STINKS FOR AMERICA!!! SOCIALISM SUCKS!!! IMPEACH THE TYRANNICAL TELEPROMPTER!!! ALL WE HAVE IS DESPAIR AND LOOSE CHANGE!!!
any way see you at the rally kevin from naples,fl.
How about a floatilla of flat beds with signs attached and a megaphone.
My husband and I will be traveling on April 15, but we plan to attend the Tea Party in Austin Texas along with Governor Rick Perry.
Enough is enough of this current government.
We will be travelling on the 15th. Is there a tea party in the Moab, Utah area? A bunch of us would love to attend! April 15th is my birthday and I want to spend it letting the government know how I feel!
The Republican Party was meant for conservatism. The party has been hijacked by moderates pandering to the left. Conservatives need to unite in the Republican party and kick out all those who do not stand boldly on conservative principles. Reagan said “No pale pastels but BOLD COLORS!!” We don’t need to try to make every special interest group happy by giving them entitlements and handouts. Conservatism serves every American because it is the execution of the American Dream. Conservatism also doesn’t need to be redefined or renamed. Every time it gets redefined or renamed it gets watered down. We cant afford to get watered down with a moderate point of view because in order to do that you must introduce leftism. The Democrat party isn’t the party of your parents and mine. They have transformed into a socialist party.
There is only one way to stand up to this. CONSERVATISM. We must unite under the GOP because history has shown that a third party would only split the base. Just look at the election of Woodrow Wilson.
I believe the best eye awaking stunt that we can do, to get maxium exposure that the tv and radio media will have to catch and air, would be to have an 2nd staging of the first act, A Real live Boston tea party, find us a schooner, load some boxes of tea, with camera’s rolling we restage the orginal boston tea party live for all america to see! Remember what started the break and gave light to our great nation under god, Its time to take back our country, for the people by the people!
God will be with us!
Colorado Springs Tea Party movement is Growing Stronger and stronger every day. With hope and Gods Grace President Pelosi and her puppets (#1 Puppet Obama) will get the message, they DO NOT OWN THIS Country.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
I greatly appreciate the efforts of all the organizers and volunteers for this great grass roots movement. I agree with everything that is the Tea Parties are trying to accomplish and I will try to get away from work to attend my local event in Santa Ana, California. Many thanks and please keep up the great work you are doing. Dave Weigel
As our rights rapidly disappear, as the government continues to sieze greater power, as they continue to steel our future freedom and the freedom of our children, I’ve begun to worry about identifying myself with these various movements “We Surround Them”, “CPAC”, “The 9/12 Project”, “Americans for Limited Government”, “Tax Day Tea Party” and “The Fox Nation” to name a few. I grow concerned that one day, Barack Obama’s new world government will seek retribution, that my family could suffer for my conservative values once the government has siezed nearly total control. Though it seems we’re nearly hopeless to affect a change, I’ll be at the Pittsburgh tea party. I’ll be there because we have to do something. We have to expresss our discontent, displeasure and disappointment about the current direction of government. (while we still can …)
I’ll be in Augusta on the 15th at 4;00PM
Any tea parties coming to the Joplin, Mo area?
I hope all americans unite at this critical time where we all have so much to lose by the reckless actions of the current adminstrtion, I am a lifelong independent who is horrified of the future ramifications to us all for this insane illegal government expansion, the time is now , the need is now, for all those who still believe in America to stand together to send a message loud enough not to be ignored. Go tea party!

The website allows me to register for a “local” tea party. We won’t be in Ga. on the 15th, but we plan (6 of us) to attend the Myrtle Beach group at Chapin Park.
There will be one in Harrisburg on the 15th from 12:00-1:00 at the state capital.
I would like to be an inspiration to anyone who is “on the fence” about attending a Tea Party near (or far from) you. I have a very rare form of leukemia, and I am at Johns Hopkins Hospital every day for various treatments. I had a bone marrow transplant 30 days ago, and my 10 year old daughter was my donor. I have been granted a day off from the hospital so that I may attend our local Tea Party (either Annapolis, Md. or D.C. - havn’t decided yet.) I feel very strongly that the showing must be tremendous in numbers, and my wife and I are going to be there!! NO EXCUSES PLEASE - LET’S SEND THE MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I totally agree with You! Thanks for your comment
Can anyone tell me where there is a TEA PARTY close to Lancaster or Palmdale, California. I really want to go to one and so do a lot of other people her in these two towns. Thanks Down with OBLAMA and PLOUSY
Yes, I will be at the Tea Party in Alpine, Texas.
It is about time everyone stood up and let Washington know that they are headed in the wrong direction.
Letters to reps and senators do nothing to change things.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO DO SOMETHING.
We need a meeting in Monmouth County, NJ. HELP, let’s all band together. It’s time to tell OUR politicians what WE require, want and demand.
I’ll be there. either pittsburgh or greensburg pennsylvania. thank the lord our country is waking up!!!!!!!
We are going to Morristown NJ. Remember a true American doesn’t brake things, steel things, hurt people, and fight with police. Let’s show the world what descent conservative people are like. I want the second million man march to D.C.!! Let’s do it! How about July 4th? And race or creed will not be an issue for a change. If you think it’s bad now, they have a schedule of at least 4 more years of slamming us hard with socialism we may never recover from. It’s our only chance until we get more seats back in the house. God Bless America. Mark from Branchville NJ.
We need to use the Tax Day Tea Parties to re-energize the Fair Tax movement.
I know MANY individuals that are interested on meeting, April 15th, to protest the excessive taxes that will soon be past through this enormous STIMULUS
packet. We have ALL been active in e-mailing and calling our public officials regarding this matter and all bills that will effect our families for the future. We are fed up!!! Everybody gets it!
We have discussed meeting @ the P.O. located in the Kendall area across from MDCC on 104th Street. We want to make signs,(no profanity) etc., and organize ourselves before Spring Break .
Please comment…LC
We need the Party of Common Sense!!!
I know Sean Hannity is having a huge one in Alanta. I would check out his web site for details. Lucky you, It should be BIG!
Yes, and the first problem we have is the present Chairman of the Republican Party which says that abortion is a woman’s choice.
He does not represent what the Party should stand for.
He represents the multitude of Rino’s that are a disgrace to the Party.
If the leaders of the Party keep it up they are going to force us to form a Third Party.
Rolla MO–where do I go?
I would like to attend a T.E.A. party in southern Illinois. If you have any info, feel free to e-mail me. Thanks

I am a youth pastor in Eagle-Idaho, have been married for 27 years, have 5 kids, own my home, and love this country… but I am sick of all the JUNK coming from the feds and having THEM dictate to us (the people) how to live, how to spend our money… and how dare they dump trillions on my back, my kids, my “future” grandkids… and i’m sure my great - grandkids. The globalization of our planet’s finances, laws, etc. … it really is very disheartening… BUT I feel that I can show up with my family on April 15 on the capitol steps in Idaho to say… “It is time for a change… and I am not talking about Obama.” We ALL need to show up and show support as AMERICANS.. not bias to a party.. but as AMERICANS!!!
Go to teapartyday.com and look up a Tea Party organizer near you. The list is long and very inspiring to see so many organizers ccross the Country. This is American resolve in action! Lets get out there and let our voice be heard!
God Bless.
Hi! I plan on comming to the Silver City tea party. I will put the word out in this area. I will post it Cliff, Gila, and Buckhorn.
At the capitol 12:00 to 3:00.
Thanks so much. We need to do something and I am so glad to have found a place out here in in the desert of like minded people. Thanks so much!!! Sally
I live in Palm Springs, California and Enough is Enough!!! Out here in California, I feel that our voices are totally unheard the way the electoral votes go. I’m excited. Sally
If you are a Constitutionalist, check out Ron Pauls’ website–http://www.campaignforliberty.com His book “Revolution, a Manifesto” is quite eye-opening. I too am a registered Republican that is competely dissatisfied with the current “republicrats” that are warming the seats in the House. I am sick and tired of these useless bureaucrats not giving a whit about their constituents! When are we Americans going to wake up and see that our once great Democracy has been hi-jacked? Sometimes I feel like I fell asleep and woke up in a George Orwell novel. Welcome to 1984 folks! See you at the Tea Party…
Conservatism in the GOP is the answer. You are right, no third parties.
CONGRESS…. is the root problem
next is the FED and “THE ROAD TO HELL ” IS…. THE NEW WORLD ORDER!
-SEE YOU IN DENVER-
A Revolution is brewing in Central Illinois. Join us on Tax Day, April 15, 2009 to make our voices heard. We will be meeting in Peoria, Illinois between the hours of 11:00am and 2:00pm at the corners of SW Monroe and Hamilton streets at the parking lot of the Peoria Public Library. We will the start at the Federal Courthouse across the street and then on down to the Peoria County Courthouse. We will have a giant copy of the Constitution for all to sign then it will be given to our elected officials. We will also be passing out DVD’s and other educational materials to all. So come one come all lets tell everyone how we feel and lets make history and have the largest Tea Party in the country. The Tea Party effort is just a small piece of a much larger movement aimed at restoring the basic free-market principles our country was built on. The Constitution, for the most part, is being ignored by our current government and we intend on working together to correct the problem. The Tea Party effort is a grassroots, collaborative volunteer organization made up of every day American citizens from across the country. Join us in the fight for our liberty!

I plan on attending a Tea Party “some where” in central NH on 4/15. I’m hoping something develops in Concord…in front of the State Capital.
If we want to continue to have anything that resembles our Republic - everyone needs to take a stand now before its too late !!!
I’M AM GOING TO A TEA PARTY, BECAUSE OBAMA AND HIS GANG HAS TO KNOW HOW WE ALL FEEL ABOUT AMERICA. I WAS SO MAD WHEN I HEARD HIM SAY WHAT HE DID IN FRANCE. HIM AND HIS WIFE ARE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW, MAYBE HE DOESN’T FEEL LIKE AN AMERICAN BUT WE DO. MAYBE HE SHOULD STAY
IN EUROPE AND GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.
My husband and I plan on attending the Indianapolis, IN tea party on April 15th from 4:30P to 6:30P!! We are a typical middle class family who have been struggling week to week to make ends meet, and are sick and tired of the way the government is trying to control everything aspect of our lives. We want our God-given American freedoms returned to us!! Our parents and grandparents and ancestors have worked too hard to make this country great, and now it’s up to us to get it back for the future of our kids, grandkids and future generations of AMERICANS! See you at the Tea Party! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!
We need to bring our Conservative principles back into the Republican Party and return to our core values. We can not accomplish what we need to by trying to unify splinter groups or by endorsing third party groups. We have a strong Conservative base in the party let’s build on that and throw out those that don’t conform to those values.
Principles of Conservatism:
Respect for the Constitution
Respect for Life
Less Government
Personal Responsibility
Ideology of Conservatism:
Protecting the People
And the People’s Rights
Obama sworn into office with Lincolns bible………….. PLEASE
Regarding personal property Abraham Lincoln said “Property is the fruit of labor…property is desirable…is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is house-less pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
Perhaps he should have been sworn in on Karl Marxs: The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, in which one will find “from each according to his means to each according to his needs.”
We are not citizens of France we are Americans. Stand up look around no one can deny the benefits of capitalism no one can deny the beauty of freedom. Our freedom must be guarded for our children for it is not passed on from generation to generation in our blood, rather it is fought for and protected by Americans for Americans. I will not sit by and watch my freedom drift away, not for my own preserve but for fear of what I will tell my kids when they ask what did I do when it was time to stand up for their freedom.
We will be in Bangor for the Tea Party. Coming from Mount Desert Island. How do we find out where we park, etc.?
If people are wondering where a tea party will be in their state…google tax day tea party and it will bring you to the main web page and all you need to do is click on your state on the map and it pulls up everyone in your state. Easy. GO GO GO!!
Arleen and Daren,
Thank you for the words of Abraham Lincoln. My husband and I are great fans of his and the Constitution of the United States. Our country is being descimated by Obama and his cronies. We need to stand up now and be counted for, if we say nothing, we are to blame for the continual degradation of our country , its liberty and our way of life. We are Americans, not socialists.
COME TO A TEA PARTY AND BE COUNTED!!!
Michael, CHICAGO IS RE-ENACTING a Boston Tea Party. And they are also hosting a shore event the duration of the cruise and afterward at Billy Goat Tavern, Navy Pier. This event will be open to anyone, is free of charge with a cash bar. The event will be 4:30-9:00pm. http://chicagoyrs.com/Joomla
HEY-HEY-HO-HO
DEMOCRATS HAVE GOT TO GO!!!!! CAN’T WAIT FOR 2010 ELECTIONS!!!!
I’ll see you in NY!!! I’ll be wearing this:
http://tinyurl.com/cl4mg6
great idea. Everyone needs to do this.
We are in Ft.Mohave AZ and a Bullhead City location just came up on the site as TBA, Where is TBA and what is it. Please advise. Bill
Please be aware that Acorn has infiltrated some tea parties with forms to fill out on clipboards. Don’t give your personal information unless you’re sure of the person or group you’re dealing with. Best wishes to all.
I will be attending the MADISON, WI teaparty. Anyone interested in becoming more involved with the effort to re-establish proper representation for our taxes. In particular removing the ability of the Federal Reserve to loan money to the U.S. government at interest. Thereby stopping the ongoing robbery of the populace under the guise of income tax. Feel free to contact me as we begin to organize a full scale movement.
matt.hallock@gmail.com
Best idea I’ve heard in awhile!
Hell yeah I will be attending. I am attending Boston’s Tea Party.The goverment has become my enemy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are a fascist country now. Screw the friggin liberals .
Pissed Offffff
Rick
My husband and I will be at the ChicagoTea Party. I am a retired teacher and he is taking the day off work so we can stand up and be heard. My grandkids future is at stake.
Check Sean Hannity’s web site. He plans to be at the one in Atlanta so I’m sure he has the information you need.
In response to Mark in NJ, Great Idea for a “Second Million Man March” on Washington. I would think it could be coordinated through internet groups/individuals and all the “Tea Party” Affiliates. “Independence Day”, July 4th, would send an appropriate message, since that is when the FIRST withdrawal from an unacceptable government took place; HOWEVER, all of our ??”subserviant”?? Senators and Representatives would probably not be there - one of their MANY vacations, and the President, Family and Crew would probably be at Camp David or “Corrupt” Chicago looking forward to their next sweep of thievery and deceit.
In response to the father in Pennsylvania with children, fearing retaliation, I, too, have considered that - it would not surprise anyone - tax audits, wire-tapping and worse. However, by connecting with the many groups standing up for our rights, I would hope the word could be spread and countered en masse. God Bless us every one.
Atlanta is going to have a huge tea party. Sean Hannity will be doing his show on Fox news for the Atlanta Tea Party.

Go to the list of states toward the top of the screen, click on Californa and scroll down until you see Sacramento. We need to be doers and stop looking for others to direct us. This is how we got were we are.
Espero y los Latinos conservadores no se mantengan en silencio este proximo Abril 15. Vine a este pais atraida por el sueño de libertad y justicia para todos, y ahora, tristemente, veo que esta patria por la cual luche por ser parte, se esta llendo al camino del comunismo. Por favor, ya basta de solo observar! Defendamos esta gran nacion!
Aloha,
We plan a Ti party on 4/15 at Hilo Bayfront by the King Kamehameha statue.
With all the focus on AIG executive bonuses, the larger deficit picture is being ignored. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has predicted the Obama administration’s policies will generate deficits averaging nearly a Trillion dollars a year over the next decade. AIG bonuses were totaled at $165 Million and AIG received $182.5 Billion from the government bailout. The President and the Congress outraged by these bonuses, yet don’t seem to be equally outraged by the size of the deficit. Compare the size of the numbers. A Trillion has 12 zeros, whereas a million has 6 zeros after it. Consider that last year’s deficit was only $459 Billion, the largest on record, will now top $1.8 Trillion. A Trillion is a 1000 Billions. This is unsustainable because the national debt will grow too rapidly.
The Congress and the President don’t seem to care about the size of the deficit, but they are angry about executive bonuses? The size of the deficit should be alarming to everyone because this will affect everyone for years to come. Those of you that have children will be paying this off for years, and your children’s children and their grandchildren will be paying this off for years. Besides focusing anger at executives, the Congress passed a dangerous precedent of taxing the executive bonuses by 90 percent. This is a MOB mentality that will open the flood gates for Congress to tax anyone they deem unfavorable. Congress allowed the bonuses to be written into the bailout bill. What are our elected officials doing? Do they even read the bills they are passing? Why are we paying their salaries for incompetent work?
Now that the government owns 80 percent of AIG, are we expecting our government to run AIG’s business like they run their own business? Our country is being misled. We are being robbed by our own government. The same people who took campaign funds from AIG are in charge of running our government. As our President used to say on the campaign trail, “this is just another distraction”, and it is. AIG is a distraction, away from the larger picture, the deficit.
I am in agreement with you. For the first time in my life, I am becoming truly afraid of our federal government.(Look what they did to Joe the Plumber). As an older woman, I will not allow that fear to paralyze me. Our great country was built on the premise of free speech and the right to express your opinion. My husband & I will continue to stand up for the ideology that our own fathers and forefathers fought to preserve. This administration’s fawning over European Socialists has given away a large part of our sovereignty this week. It must end soon. We are just a few weeks into a four year “reign”. Imagine what can happen in just another six months! Would love to see him resign, but look what we would be left with….Biden, Pelosi? OMG! The choices ae frightening.
Your posts are being read by many who are fed up and frastrated,we have to keep trying to come togther.Let Your Hearts Be Encouraged!!! Keep organizing and Keep Fighting The Good Fighting ! Our Freedom Is Worth Your Time…. Greenwood,in.
IMO, the Tax Day Tea Parties should NOT be associated with or allied to any political party, Pure and simple this is a We, the People grassroots movement.
I am all for getting together, But, I hope this is a way of accomplishing something. Putting down concrete ideas and following through, We must make a difference. We must get congress and the senate to listen to us the people. We have so many people that are not happy with the way things are going. Let us unite.
I attended a tea party in Charlotte NC Saturday. I’m going to be in Winston Salem on the 15Th, and maybe in Raleigh later that day. I believe the protests will help if nothing else , others will know they are not alone.
I agree that this goes well beyond political parties, this is WE THE PEOPLE!!!!!
We need to be heard!! Contact those in Washington and tell them WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY!!! FREEDOM OR SLAVERY the choice is ours. I choose FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the media know too! They have not told the truth and have been complicit in the road to Fascism!!!! Don’t watch their so called news. Tell them you really don’t care what dress Michelle is wearing and if they aren’t going to be honest and unbiased, they may need a stimulis too. because we will not be duped any longer!!!
Hey, I was wondering if you knew anything about this. We’ve been hearing about ACORN and other groups of the opposition,”gate crashing” the TEA parties with fake petitions to collect personal information on the protesters or to intimidate etc.
We’re holding a TEA party locally here in Hollidaysburg PA. Any info about this practice you hear about and might be able to pass on to us would be greatly appreciated. We’re very concerned that it be peaceful and our message not be distorted or miss-characterized by others.
Best of luck to all -Lets TEA PARTY!!
To Mr. Robert Stein who is looking for a TEA party in Central PA
http://www.blaircountyteaparty.com
Where: Blair County Court House in Hollidaysburg, PA
When: April 15th, 2009 from NOON till 2:00 pm.
hey people, these tea parties are a great start. and with the kind of turn out i think were gonna get allover the country the media will be forced to pay attention however I believe we can go one step further. We need to show these politicians that we are serious about taking our government back. and ive got a great idea. but it’s a big idea that needs a lot of people(nothing violent or anything like that) but I would like those of you who would like to take a next step or at least try send me an email at anthonydobbs@conservativerepublic.org
It looks like the right finally learned how to use the internet to be comminit organizers. Too funy though. You people are so sad. 25% of the population and shrinking.
[...] You can RSVP your intentions of joining a party here. [...]
April 15, 2009 will be the day for your voices to be heard. Our constitution is being violated daily. Please meet in your city with other peaceful protestors and bring a sign speaking out for your liberty and freedom. Go to: taxdayteaparty.com to find a party in your neck of the woods.
Ask for fair tax! ( and take back you money!) See Takebackyourmoney.com
Say NO to Socialism.
Please be silent NO more! There are yellow flags for sale on line that say: “Don’t tread on me!” with the snake curled on it for the early state of Massachusetts that spoke against horrible taxation from England. (LifeinFlyingColor.com)
Our government needs to see faces, signs, and people speaking out against their abuse of our money, the money they are spending that our children and grandchildren would have to pay back. Our government needs to live within its means and we do not need to be owned by China. Help take America back and help keep us free.
Have you ever noticed that the government run post office can’t keep stamps in stock when the price changes? Stamps are what the Post Office sells. It is all they have to sell but even that cannot be run effectively. How do you think they will manage health care, unlimited cash, your social security, etc.? They simply cannot do it.
Nothing is free, not even freedom is free. You have to earn it and sometimes you have to fight to keep it. Don’t let this amazing concept of freedom that so many have died for slip away.
Read Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levine if you do not understand or you want to better comprehend what this government is trying to take away from you and generations to come in America.
I don’t get it. Everything the President, Pelosi, and Reid said they were going to do should they gain control is exactly what is happening. We, the American voters, put them in office so why are so many (Democrats too) shocked as to what is happening. They made their promises and they kept their word. Remember they work for us - We hired them - We can FIRE them! It is great that we are having these tea parties all over the country but what happens on April 16th - do we go back to our homes, jobs, and secluded lives or do we keep the movement alive and work toward replacing those that are moving us toward socialism. We MUST keep the movement alive; our voices loud; and replace those that are taking us down the road to destruction of the America we love! I will be there on April 15th but I hope to be in other places keeping our message alive for days, weeks, months, and years if necessary long after the “Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.”
i will attend the white plains ny tea party on april 15, to thank obama for the change we have left in our pockets. i am sick of the wasteful spending, and all of our government officials who don’t pay their taxes. let’s push for a law requireing anyone elected to state or federal government to be audited by the i.r.s. before being seated in public office. obama’s campaign promises are obviously b***s***. spending billions on bills that haven’t even been read before theyr’e voted on and passed!
on a final note, everyone should let the a** hole chuck schumer know that taxpayers do care about pork spending, and do what you can to vote him out of office in the next election.
i’m mad as hell and i’m not going to take it anymore!!!!!
i am truley sickend to see the direction this country is headed in. socialism is here thanks to obama. the trillions being spent now will put the usa into debt for decades to come. tea partys are a start, but to save this country , we need to start working on a real revolution against this pathetic government. having a tax cheat named as secretary of the treasury is one of the ultimate smack in the face to the american public. charlie rangle not reporting income on rental properties and renting 4 rent controlled properties in manhattan is a discrace.
how do they justify letting al sharpton settle an IRS debt for half of what he owed the government????CAN I STOP PAYING TAXES AND SETTLE FOR 50% OF WHAT I OWE?????
TO CONGRESS AND SENATE: HOW CAN YOU PASS A F****** BILL THAT YOU HAVEN’T EVEN READ??????????
Dear Fellow American’s,
Millions of Americans knows for the past 18 months Barack Obama has hired legal defense attorneys to help him keep his birth certificate hide from the American people.
Obama claims he was born in Honolulu,Hawaii,may I ask you how many people do you know that was born in the United States that can not provide their birth certificate,in all honesty most likely you know of no one born in the United States that can not produce their birth certificate.
Barack Obama in just 90 days has placed our people and our country in more debt then all the presidents put together beginning with George Washington.
Do you know under Obama’s energy plan every house hold in the United States will be paying $2,000 more per year on their energy bills then they are presently paying?
Americans we can not afford to sit back and allow Barack Obama to play president of the United States,we cannot allow him to place our beloved children in trillions of dollars in debt,we can afford to sit back and allow him to take our liberty and freedoms away,freedom of speech and gun ownership is our right as American citizens.
Please help our people by signing the eligibility petition at the link below,350,000 Americans have signed the petition demanding Barack Obama summit his legal birth certificate to prove he is eligible to hold the office of president of the United States of American,if he has nothing to hide he will gladly summit his legal birth certificate to the American people,for 18 months he has refused to do this very simple thing,there certainly is nothing transparent about him hiding this legal document.
I will be attending a big tea party in my state on April 15,2009,we Americans must stand up for truth and freedom while we are still free to do so.
Regards,
Checkmate

I agree with the “Your Fired” pink slip being sent to the White House and all at the capitol involved in sending our country into a downward spiral. They need to see what it is like on the other side of their desks.
I don’t think the tea party is meant to affiliate with any group. I think it’s for ALL of us Americans that are fed up with what the congress/administration is doing. We will turn out for the tea party, independents, democrats, republicans, constitutional, libertarian, etc… Be there to protest because of what our government is doing.
We are planning to attend the Tea Party in Martinsburg, West Virginia on April 15th from 5 to 6 PM. It’s time for the American people to take our country back. After what we witnessed going on in Europe this past weekend, we had better act fast or it’s “Socialism, Here We Come.” We’ll be taxed to the teeth to pay for rediculous programs which will bring us closer and closer to Socialism and the Mediocraty that goes with it.
FED UP, AND READY TO MARCH, TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY, GET RID
OF 565 PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON AND HANG A NOOSE AROUND THEIR NECKS WITH TAX PENTALTIES, BACK TAXES THEY OWE ETC.,
AND TAX THEM ON THE MONEY THEY RECEIVED FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS….
AND MAKE IT MANDATORY TO GO BACK 50 YEARS….
THAT WOULD CLEAN UP THE ECONOMY IN A HURRY….
AND TELL THEM THAT THEIR PENSIONS/HEALTH CARE HAVE BEEN SCRUBBED!!!!!
STAND UP AMERICA, GET OUT TO THE TEA PARTIES….. SHOW WASHINGTON WHO IS IN CHARGE!!!!
DON’T LET THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY GO IN VAIN….
SHOW THE ONES WHO ARE FIGHTING NOW THAT WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR COUNTRY WHILE THEY ARE NOT HERE…
It is time to get involved with your local tea party organizations. In numbers there is strength. What the liberal’s have in store for our country, should scare you to death. Our current Democratic leadership does not have enough experience to lead us out of our current economic mess. They talk a good game, but their actions will take our country down a SERIOUS ECONOMIC downturn that will eliminate the middle class.
Thank You to all who have worked to make these places and times available to us all-I will be in the Loveland,CO spot on the 15th with a group of at least 15-UNITED WE STAND. God bless America and all those around the world fighting for the same cause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Noticed, Why do you choose to be mean and belittle people rather than consider what they are saying?
If any of you can’t or won’t attend a Tea Party event on April 15th., 2009, please consider taking the day off work anyway? Likewise, please avoide spending money for anything that day. If our efforts make it appear that the resistance movement is capable of instituting a “work stoppage” or “spending moratorium” at will, it will scare politicians, bureaucrats, employers and the media witless. It would most certainly get President Obama’s attention. If your not going to a Tea Party, offer to babysit children or pets so that your friends and neighbors can attend an event. Offer to make dinner for your neighbor so they can spend the time defending your interests by attending a tea party. Order pizza for your friends who’ll be coming home after an event just to let them know you appreciate their efforts. Post a yard sign supporting the event and those who attend the event. Spend the day doing something, anything but working and spending money, and send a message that we, the people have had enough and we’re prepared to take action to defend ourselves from an arrogant, self serving, oppressive government!
christine people like that do those things because they are afraid of us. they can only advance their agenda while we are asleep. well we are awakened!! I would like to organize something like a second continental congress I have already started drafting a second declaration but I know it means nothing without the peoples ratification. like many of you I am not an organizer I’m just an ordinary American so I can use a lot of help. If you would like to see some of my writing to get an Idea of my principles visit my website. you can send me an email anthonydobbs@conservativerepublic.org

I am unaware of any method of removing a sitting President by any means other than impeachment. There is no constitutionally protected mechanism for a recall election of a sitting President. We can but make our demands known, and then work to unwind or stymie efforts that Congress makes to undermine our will. These Tea Party demonstrations are a step toward the revolution that is brewing in our nation. Make no mistake, other efforts will be required. Those who urge that we “starve the beast” of taxes ignore that taxes are withheld in advance for most taxpayers, and that save for the self employed, and illegal aliens who might work for cash, there would not be a demographic where such refusal to pay taxes would be meaningful. Our indifference and self interest allowed this to happen, and like it or not, we, as many of us that care, must be prepared to take action, demonstrate, take part in work stoppages and spending moratoriums, and if necessary, follow the model of our founding fathers, if we are to take back control of our government. We must apply this to local, state, as well as federal oppression and excesses if we are to succeed. Failure is always an option, but capitulation is not.
There is one in Centralia, Illinois at Noon at the corner of South Poplar & 3rd. street. Hope you can attend.
Will be at Capitol in OKC on the 15th to sip tea, IN MEANTIME, my latest poem, enjoy friends,
GOOD MORNING OBAMA
Good morning Obama, what makes you wake so soon; You think that you will rule the world, and maybe the stars and moon: You want to build A SUPER RACE; Like Adolph in nineteen thirty nine: Your plans will backfire in your face; And trickle down your spine: You have lied about your place of birth; as well your (ahem) Christian name: Your god and my God Obama just are not the same: Your Allah inhabits dust and rock up on the moon; Mine rules the earth and is coming back, very soon: My God says for us each to love and peace be still; Your god says all infidels are there for you to kill: You assisted your cousin in Kenya 400 churches to burn; What is it with you doers of evil, will you never learn?: You attempt to lead the flock walking hand in hand; Mr. Obama you will fail, God is still in command:
State Capitol (west steps) Noon to 3 PM
Yes, I can help you find a central Pa. Tea Party. Go to the 912 Project click on Tea Party It will bring a map of the US up click on Pa. There is a list of all the Tea Parties that will be held on tax day. I know there is one in Harrisburg, Lancaster, West Chester (if you live closer to Chester County). Good Luck - while I live in Texas currently I am a Pa. native and my dad and brother live in New Holland, Pa.. I was checking for my dad and brother.

Hey, we gotta start somewhere. It’s not “teaparty” that has to unite, it is all of US as individuals who have to stand up now because we’ve been falling for the BS for too long. Show up and bring friends!
we cannot impeach, impeachments historicaly turn into a circus but congress can effectivly censure him. We need to put together a declaration of demands ratified by the people that can be delivered to congress
Not sure exactly where they will be meeting….but I believe Neil Cavuto from Fox will be active at that one,
I live in Virginia and had planned on attending the tea party in Va Beach, but now am going to be out of town…so I’ll be attending the one in Vegas
I’ll be putting up signs to promote the event here in VA before I leave
I definitely agree with GRAMMA JUDE. about getting rid of the 500++ in Washington DC—That would be even better than IMPEACHMENT, because finally we would have someone in place who would Know how to say NO to Government spending—and if the new candidates couldn’t figure it out—-they would get sent home too. First ones to go need to be Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid—-both California and Nevada allow citizens to RECALL their Congressmen—-DO IT NOW CALIFORNIA and NEVADA
100 Senators, and 456 (?#) Representatives—PAY NO FEDERAL TAXES–ever.
Annual Salaries of $180,000 X 17% for Federal Tax = $30,600 that none of them have to pay. Kind of like a BONUS—-for a 12% approval rating. $30,600.00 is more than some make for takehome pay in 2 years of work.
So, 546 Congressmen X $30,600.00 is $16,707,600.00 for one year of no Federal tax. No wonder they are so happy to raise our taxes.
Let’s make sure we get this grave mistake corrected immediately.!
I SAY LETS THROW ALL THE BOMBS OUT IN WASHINGTON.THATS WHAT WE NEED TO DO.AND CLEAN UP THE UNITED STATES.WE ARE IN TROUBLE AND I DONT THINK IT IS NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER
If we get many, many numbers of people to unite at these tea parties, then we will accomplish a great deal. If we don’t unite, then nothing will happen.
Here’s the Sacramento site:
http://www.site.sacteaparty.com/
Good luck!
I’m so glad that us smokers are finally standing up for our bud! I’ll be there with my triple hose hukka and some of the best bud that you’ve ever tasted! Look for me, I’ll be wearing a bright yellow shirt with the word ‘Budman’ across the back. No sales but I’m always happy to share! See you all there!
Glad so many are willing to stand up for our nation. Next to prayer and God’s intervention, our only hope to remain the free and blessed nation that we have been, is for us to demand Term Limits for Congress. The corruption has always been there, in each party, but never has it been this extreme. Term Limits can put a stop to so much individual greed for money and power. I will be attending the rally in Columbia,SC at noon - 2:30 and in Augusta, GA at 5 - 10 pm. Don’t forget to make your signs expressing how you feel, but keep them in good taste. My signs will say: America, please Unite for “Term Limits for Congress” and the “Fair Tax.” It’s time to take a stand now for future gnerations, before it is too late. And pray for very large and peaceful tea parties around the country.
We must stand together against this congress and socialist president obama. This is the greatest country on the face of the globe. Our generations before us fought and died for our freedom. We will keep it only if we come together at every change and let them know we love this country and are not giving it up to a bunch of fools that think they know how we should live. They want to control us and I for one will not let that happen. If they don’t get the message by our tea-parties it will only grow. If it take the two years before we can go to the polls and speak then so be it. They will all be out on there bumbs. We then can put in the right conservatives that will reverse this power grab. America will stay strong only if we do. I love our constitution and if the founders could come together and write it. We should be able to come together and keep it. GOD bless America
WE THE PEOPLE
While researching emotions/ neuropsychology, several very important psychological aspects were discovered hard wired into the human brain. Humans are social animals and desire to be included within the “in group”. Humans have empathy for members within their IN group. Empathy integrates with the “feeling of pain” within the brain. A friend being killed while crossing at the red light is viewed with empathy. The emotion of empathy is not triggered for members from the out group. A “Crack Head” on the corner that broke into your house and terrorized you last night, being killed while running into the street, does not trigger the emotion of empathy within the human brain.
The human brain quickly spots and remembers “cheaters” within the system. These “enemies within” are ostracized by integrating the emotion of disgust. Those identifying cheaters are rewarded by the in group.
The “IN” group verses the “OUT” group:
The “IN GROUP”:
The solution is to include everyone in our “in group” based on the prime law: No one has the right to initiate force except in self defense. [http://www.neo-techsociety.com/myaccount/library/TheConstitutionoftheV6.htm] Those that are peaceful, happy humans are the “IN GROUP”, a civilization allowing freedom for every individual to autonomously think, flourish, and trade self created values. A group/ system/ matrix built on the basis of individual ability/ achievement.
Characteristics of the IN GROUP: Metaphoric Gamma: Value Creator: Ego: Zero: Balance
• Belief in Honesty with constant integration to reality as demonstrated by the Universe
• Self Leadership/ Independent Thinkers
• I earned, value creation/ honesty matrix
• Civilization of the Universe/ honesty Ethics
• Celebrate Life/ Liberty/ Happiness
The “OUT GROUP”:
Supporters of agents of force/ thugs/ cheater, that steal and redistribute producer’s assets, are the “OUT GROUP”. An anti-civilization that enslaves, brainwashed followers, through non-sequiturs [it does not follow] rationalizations, that block rational thought, resulting in “zombie” like humanoids unable to think and make decisions, and that seek external authorities for guidance.
Characteristics of the OUT GROUP: Metaphoric: Alpha/ Bata: “Master/Slave”: Superego/ Id: Left/ Right: Bipolar: Conflict:
• Belief in a “Truth” to a “closed system” defined by [Alpha] Statist/ Ruling [Leach] class/ Expect [birth right] privilege, to lead/ Snobbery, elitism, contemptuous of the “lower” class
• Subservient [Bata] Followers [other directed, manipulated with anxiety/ guilt]/ Blind acceptance [gullible/ suckers]/ Expect to always be taken care of/ Need approval of peer group/ Group think
• I deserve, value destruction/ criminal mind matrix
• Utilitarian Ethics
• Celebrate death/ Tyranny/ Delusion
Force backed policies are quickly being revealed and understood by many individuals. The honesty evolution is spontaneously happening. Fear is turning into rage. An armed revolution is not needed by this evolution. We the people surround.
HalbertNT@aol.com
We need to voice alternatives to present system of govt. if the tea parties are going to work. Three suggestions with a lot of merit: Companies are laying off workers, it’s time to lay off politicians too! SHRINK THE NUMBER OF SENATORS TO ONE PER STATE, DIVIDE THE HOUSE IN HALF-218 MEMBERS-IF 435 CAN’T GET THE JOB DONE,MAYBE HALF WILL DO A BETTER JOB–AT LEAST THE SHOCK WILL JAR THEIR THINKING! THIS WILL SAVE APPROX. 8 BILLION A YEAR IN COSTS WHEN YOU SHRINK THE NUMBER OF STAFFS AND OFFICE EXPENSES ALONG WITH REDUCING THE NUMBER OF POLITICIANS. #2 TERM LIMITS FOR ALL OFFICE HOLDERS IN WASHINGTON, PERIOD! #3 FAIR TAX, FAIR TAX, FAIR TAX. These three steps will do more for the American People than anything Congress has done in 50 years.
Stay the course. Remain in the party of Abe Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, and Ronald Reagan. Reclaim your party from the capitulating quislings currently poisoning it with their weak tax-raising, government-expanding “leadership.”
Please reconsider. The Republican Party, at least here in florida, is clearly returning to its conservative roots. Leaders here have apologized in public sessions for allowing themselves to vote for more spending, etc. We need to unite the party as a clearly CONSERVATIVE party….if we divide into groups….the liberals will turn us into a socialist state. See smartguyz.net for more information.
Rise Up, there is a bad wind, in Washington D.C, its been there for many years. Our country is being torn apart by the Multinationals/Socialists and UN One world Government groups. WE are NOT a democracy, WE are a REPUBLIC! SHOUT these politicians down! Are they Ignorant? Or do they think we are ignorant?
Sadly both Political Parties have the same Head. The American voters must come together, Blacks, Whites, Latinos and all other citizens. OUR CHILDREN’S Future depends on action!
Dee, I looked up Federal Court House for Bangor, and found the info here: http://www.med.uscourts.gov/geninfo/directions.htm It gives directions and parking info.
Last Saturday, April 4, 2009 on Catholic Church property on Flamingo Road in Davie Florida the FBI and ATF raided a gathering of regular citizens organizing a TEA PARTY for next Wednesday April 15th. at the Federal Building in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. People were made to lie on the floor and were handcuffed while the police searched them for ID and weapons. After the police found nothing one police sargeant told them they received and anonymous tip that a “heavily armed terrorist group was meeting there”.
The concensus was that a some Left Wing individual or group harrassed them by making this false anonymous phone call to police so please be on guard while organizing, if this continues someone may be hurt.
My family goes back in the US into the 1600’s….fought in all our wars etc. I’ve got to tell you of my surprise. I noted the population of the US…303,224,640 (according to google 4/09) And that, of course, likely doesn’t include illegals and various others who didn’t want to be counted in the last census. I am very sure that I pay at the very least over $4000 in taxes each year…my property taxes are more than half and I didn’t count in income taxes. I was stammered when I went to calculate what that would add up to for everyone in the US….(I’m poverty level so I am figuring conservatively). I do accounting for a living and my calculator could not compute the number! I tried a couple ways…and it was just too big for my calculator….I have room for 6 decimals! I am mortified to realize just how big and plentiful the greed factor has grown to in this nation that I love so dear. What have we become? How did we let this happen? What can we REALLY do about it? Are the wheels too set in motion to be stopped?

Don’t forget they are not only taking our rights but our land in these so call bad loans. When Acorn comes a knocking KNOCK back. We need to start cutting off heads so the MEDIA will take notice that American has been kicked around long enough and we now need to show them that they can not take our country without a fight. Show UP April 15 and make a stand.
Northern Virginia is having a Tax day Tea Party in Reston, VA!
Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Lake Anne Village Center
Street: 1609 Washington Plaza
City/Town: Reston, VA
The Virginia Chapter of the American Conservative Party is hosting a Tax Day Tea Party in Reston, VA on April 15th starting at 6pm.
Look at it as the “Tea Party After Party” for those who are braving the D.C. event, and an opportunity for Northern Virginians to make the statement to Richmond and DC that we demand accountability for our hard earned dollars going down a “Three-Lane Highway.”
We’ll be at the Lake Anne Plaza in Reston, VA. Since this is private property, we can be thankful that this is a Conservative Protest with intelligent Americans who are likely to patronize the various establishments of our host (at least 2 great Restaurants that are still open after 6pm).
Look forward to seeing you there!
(Search “Northern Virginia Tax Day Tea Party” in Facebook.com events)
I am an Independent Conservative ,since the last election. The dismantaling of our Constitution, and all that the Obama Administration and their cronies are doing will insure slavery the moment a newborn baby becomes a warm body !!
What with the National Debt,do we owe $75,000 the minute we take our first breath now ? I AM FED UP WITH THE FED.
HELP! where is a Tea Party in the Med Cities part of Fort Worth/Dallas.
Could anyone tell me if I heard correctly about sending a teabag in an envelope to ?? Those of us who are physically unable to make it to the ‘parties’ and still wish to express our complete agreement with all of you would like to know if this is still a possibility? If not, please know that you have our prayers and support in this very vital cause. I just visited a National Cemetary in our area; many of my family who have served and are still serving, how horrible that it seems so many will have died in vain unless ‘we the people’ speak up, stand up, speak truth, and pray that God will give this nation mercy yet once again. The liberal policies have made that a very questionable thing. Reading the Bible this morning, so many other cultures have been judged and condemned for things that we are presently ‘embracing’. God help us all.
I have loved and served my country for many years, but I hate what it has become.
It will be April 15th, 12 noon untill 4pm, at Sacramento- State Capital
WAKE UP,
I usually don’t respond to these things, but I feel compelled. You seem to be missing the point of what we are doing. Although the “tea party” label does imply tax revolt, this has very little to do with paying taxes, and everything to do with ‘out of control’ government spending, and ‘out of control’ government power. I am not denying the need for a structured tax system, nor are most of us here. This, at least for me, is not a political issue. This is about the destruction of ourConstitution, and Bill of Rights.
90 % of our “Representatives” are completely out of touch with “budget reality.” If you managed your money this way, you would be destitute and out on the street in no time, and we feel that is where we are heading. Unfortunately, the uninformed masses voted these people in to office. You have to admit, the amount of control the government has shown to desire possession of in the last 2 months is staggering, and quite scary (by anyone’s admission, except those in power!).
This country was founded on the principle that you can be anything you desire, and as successful as you wish, but you must WORK HARD TO GET THERE!! Unfortunately, we have become lazy and complacent as a society, and feel “entitled” to be taken care if, even if you chose to sit on your lazy ass all day. And our government has aided and abetted this attitude. They have decided to take from those who busted but to get there, and give it to those who do nothing. THIS WOULD BE WHERE WE DO NOT WANT OUR TAX DOLLARS GOING! Entitlement programs are just one of the many massive problems we have - I could go on for days, but I won’t.
Our government was strategically set up on a fine line between anarchy (no government), and tyranny(total government). We have become dangerously close to the anarchy side, and we are trying to stop this. We feel that we have lost the vision of our founding fathers, and we want to get back there. THAT IS OUR MESSAGE - HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND OUR DISPAIR.

Sorry for the double post
I’m in Kaycee, but I’ll try to be there at the Casper party by 11:30. Most everyone in our little town is pretty sick of this administration and their reinterpretations of our constitution. Thank goodness we live in Wyoming !!
Also, a thank you to the people who have spent time organizing this. You truly represent the American spirit. GG
I think there needs to be a tea party in the Northern part of Utah County, but as far as I know I’ve just heard of meeting at the Provo Post Office in South Provo.
Someone should get the local high school bands to dress in revalution blues, with a piper a drummer and a flag carrier to come marching and playing thru the crowd.
You better respond, my friend.
Several thousands of yours and mine tax dollars were spent on a nice vacation by a group of Castro’s lovers in Cuba recently.
They want to sent him not several thousands, but millions to feed his tiranny.
Rogue River Tax Day Tea Party, downtown Rogue River, corner of Depot and Main, 3pm - 6pm BRING YOUR AMERICAN PRIDE AND SPIRIT!
Did you find the Tea Party info yet for Palmdale/Lancaster CA? There is a first one scheduled on Sat April 11 in front of Michael Antonovich’s office at the Lancaster Courthouse.10am to Noon. It will have a huge attendance, then another on April 15 evening 7-8pm(?) at George Runner’s office in Lancaster Probably more planning and announcements will be made at Saturday event.
I have heard many say this is not about taxes. I agree it is about our rights, our constitution, and our sovereignty. But also about taxes, because after all, the spending, there is no way the IRS can operate without capital. When the 5% wealthiest go broke, the middle class will be the wealthiest. That is when their taxes will go up. It is about the future of our children and grandchildren. We need to stop the spending now!
I think that we are moving closer to total government and sometimes government BEYOND OUR government, away from anarchy(no Government). Our government was not designed to be massive and rule over the people. Our government was designed to stay as small as possible while REPRESENTING the people and YES, you are 100% on the money with your point that there are NUMEROUS issues that should be argued and protested at these events. Don’t forget THIS IMPORTANT POINT either. There’s a good chance that the press (much of it) will try to belittle the intelligence and understanding of the protestors, but we are angry for a list of reasons. Please, everyone …. we see where the issues are and we need to always be ready to make the case when the press refuses to; please have coherant answers ready in the event that the press tries to make our forgotten citizenry look like those uninformed flag wavers who failed us & failed our founders and gave us this government.
Our answer is 1. why we’re her 2. what our issues are and 3. what our solutions are.
The uniting will follow. Get contacts of like minded people and begin building. As for the party, Name recognition is important, so I believe we need to keep the party, just change the platform to represent our Constitutional beliefs.
I completely agree! We are the conservative party! Smaller government. Less spending. Believe and trust our constitution.

There will be a tea party inSteubenville, Oh,43952 on April 15th, between 3pm and 4pm at the front of the courthouse. Everyone come. If you are from the area, you will know how things are here and why we badly need people to show!
We will see you in Austin! A short 60 mile trip for us.
I was so upset with the woman from the Neswpaper on the Cavuto show the other night with her arrogant and rude attitude towards the tea party representation that I was compelled to do the following: I am attending the April 15th tax tea party in Charlotte and I called the Charlotte Observer today and told them if I didn’t see ” fair and balance ” coverage of the April 15th tax tea party then I would cancel my over 3year subscription with the paper and I will encourage people to boycott the paper. I plan to tell people at the Tea Party to do the same . They put a photo of the last tea party with no article about the photo. The media controlled the election so now it is time the American people control the media! All we want is all the news and as fox says , “Fair and Balanced.”
Read my comment below. I am suggesting that everyone who is attending a April 15 tea party call their local newspaper and tell them you will cancel your subscription and encourage people to boycott the paper if they don’t give Fair and Balanced coverage to the Tax Tea Party in your area. Do not let the media control us rather let us control the media!!!!!! If we don’t buy their newspapers or watch their programs then they have no one to blame but their own arrogance! We Americans can not be controlled by those that can not live without us—– just “Fair and Balanced!”
Mark: I love your idea! I think the silent majority should plan on a million man march on Washington. Unfortunately, July 4 would be may not be a good day with so many family picnics planned. But we certainly should plan for another day.

I am looking for information about the Tea Party in the Monmouth County, NJ
area. I live in Old Bridge NJ and that sounds like the closest to me.
Any information is needed and appreciated! Thanks a lot. Time to take back our country!
Marybeth!
Republicans used to be conservative. Too many years in Washingon and too much entitlement has made them liberal. We need new blood, not career ploiticians like Lugar, Snow and many others. It is time to flush the toilet in Washington and get rid of the crap that is causing us all the problems. New conservative thinking congressman. If we allow the moderates to play conservative during the primaries they will be right back to the left when the election is over.
Where and at what time is the Tea Party in Naperville IL??
Thanks. I want to be there. Barack and his gang are OUT OF CONTROL AND DANGEROUS. Kathy Lukavsky
I’ll be showing up on 4/15 in Philly. We need to fight for the $$ we work so hard for.
I am 65 and planned to retire in 2 years but now am looking for 5 more years due to the decline in my 401’s in the last three months. I’ve done everything ‘right’ all my life, worked hard, paid my bills, and been a law abiding citizen and I’m so mad and upset about what is happening to my country. And the huge debt my grandchildren’s children will be paying in this nation if it continues to go in this direction. I will be at the Valdosta Tea Party and hope to be alive when the next election comes up to get all these money spenders out of office. I did not vote for this - and sometimes feel so helpless to do something. At least taking part in the tea party will let my small voice be heard in a small way. I vote for personal freedom and personal rights, not goverment control of our banks, companies, health care and education system.
Denise: If you’d like to picnic in the future, you might want to consider picnicking on the Mall in Washington, D.C. whenever a march is scheduled, no matter the personal inconvenience. Wouldn’t that be a great lesson for the children in your family? Come on, Denise, either you’re serious about this thing or you’re not. You can do it if you try and we NEED you!

Hello.
Im in Miami, and we are having a Tea Party here. In reference to your question, if you go to the top right hand corner of the page, Choose a State, click on Florida, and there is going to be a Tea Party in Pensacola, accross from the University Mall. Hope this helps you. Ester
Remember all those who died in pursuit of our freedom. Don’t let them have died in vain. This country is a noble experiment…it is the best in the world. Don’t let the liberal pundits tell you otherwise. Don’t believe it. We are the best. You know it and the world knows it!
At one time, politicians used subterfuge to take away our rights–now, they no longer even bother with that. Our rights, our freedom, our nation are being blatantly taken away from us. We cannot let this happen.
How will you be able to explain to your grandchildren that you saw what was happening and did nothing. Stand up and be counted…it’s now or never.
I’ll be in Roanoke. This is one way to show that empty suit in the White house we’re tired of his campain lies and broken promises. He has changed nothing, it’s politics as usual in that dump they call the capitol. Obama never read the stimulis package that Palosi wrote, he just signed a trillion of our money away. No more, enough is enough. Ten trillion in the next nine years that our children and grand-children will have to pay new taxes on. I say throw the bums out in the 2010 mid-term elections and throw Obama out in 2012 and all the tax cheats he put in his cabinet. I also think that every tax payer that owes money should be forgiven all interset and penalties like the crook boss Timithy who is now running the I.R.S. The filth in Washington are enjoying their power and wealth on our tax dollars. It’s time for the lying, back stabbing cheats to leave government forever. If we do not get a national movement going to wake up the so-called voters who put these people in power, then this country we all love will be reshaped into another Socialist bankrupt society. Then who will the world turn to for relief from storms and earthquakes, famine, military dictators, and all the other crud they ask us to take care of? Take a look at the third world countries Obama loves so much, and ask yourself who will feed their starving masses once we become Socialist and can’t feed ourselves. This fake is an empty suit and his lack of experience is painfully obvious. And another thing, is anyone as sick and tired as I am of this guy saying he is sorry for America when he is abroad? We have saved the world from Hitler, Russia, North Korea etc, and this looser is sorry for America’s past. Well, I am saying I am sorry American’s fell asleep on election day and believed this empty suit and his lies and that he now occupies our house, the White House. Come on 2012.

We’ll be having a TEA PARTY here in SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFONIA @ 2nd St. &E St. from 3-7pm, come join us!! Let get united and stop the Democratic Wasteful Spending!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI
Here is a site where many of the TEA parties throughout the country
are listed.
http://www.teapartyday.com/
Click on “Locations” at the top of the page.
Tea party in Temecula, California!!! Yahoo!!!
I will be at the Colorado Springs Tea Party. Hope to see you there.
I am organizing a tea party at the Town hall in Newburgh on Rt 300 from 12-1 on 4/15/09. You are welcome to attend. I will probably also go to the meeting in Fishkill, as my parents live in Wappingers Falls, and will most likely want to go.Thank you for all the info. I also am keeping my list of people who have responded , to keep up the interest and hopefully organize some more events or action.
Independant? I am joining the CRA for cigar smokers, which is similar to the NRA with different rights to stand up for ofcourse. Yes, I agree we all need to band together. We will have more power in large numbers. I am wondering if the Independant party is the way to go. There is not one good answer. This is the beginning of something special. Not all of us will agree on some issues, but we do agree we need to stand up for freedom.
[...] bored and want to get some good information, visit http://the912project.com/. There you can join a tea party too! The 912 Project has nine principles, but the first two say it all: 1. America Is [...]
This Obamamania is taking our country the wrong way .Me (viet nam war)and my family (since war of 1812 )didnt fight for this!!! I will be in Hilo Hawaii to show obama he is wrong!!!
I have seen many asking where to find addresses of congressmembers. Here is my source.http://www.numbersusa.com/content/congress/ph. This is at the NUMBERSUSA site and click on *Contact Info for all Congress. It would be nice if someone running this site could make sure information for congressional phone numbers is available for all state sites. I have another suggestion. Don’t send teabags, just the tab and string as teabags feels like substance in an envelope. Another suggestion is: send a slogan on a sheet of paper to all congressmembers you want to yell at. I sent one to Pelosi and Reid, among many others. Thanks.
Lancaster will hold their Tea party at Musser Park at 4:00 p.m., Philly will have theri’s at Love Park at 12:00 p.m. and Pittsburgh will protest at the Market Square at 2:00 p.m.. Pennsylvania has more than 15 Tea Parties planned. For more info go to WBAL .com/taxdayteaparty.
“WE THE PEOPLE”, and don’t you ever forget it/
All citizens who are opposed to America becoming a socialist state need to show up at a Tea Party on April 15th. We need to show Washington we’re NOT going to take it anymore! The PEOPLE pay their salaries & it’s OUR money they are spending! Most Americans want to be left alone to take care of their own families & not live in a Nanny state where the government is trying to control every area of their lives!
I have a suggestion folks. Since most, if not all of us, have heard that Acorn and similar groups are planning some infiltration of the teaparties and sometimes with clipboards with petitions, if we all read them carefully to know what the petitions say, and it’s not what it should be, we could then sign them with some of the made-up names they used. Personally, I like Minnie Mouse.
Also, tell your msm, particularly newspapers that you will cancel your subscription if they don’t show up and give a fair and accurate description of the event. Remember this is not Democratic or Republican but it is about the American Citizens who love OUR country and want our elected representatives to get off our backs and abide by the Constitution.
Hi,
I suggest that everyone see Aaron Russo’s movie.

At first I was hoping that the tea party would be at a parent friendly time (during school hours). Now that I think about it, I’m glad it’s at 4:00 to 6:00 pm as my children will be able to come with me and see where the true power in this country should be. While going to Boston or Lexington is tempting, I am going to go to my local event in Worcester.
Please everyone … show up and demonstrate our respectful and powerful disapproval of the federal government usurping our individual rights & responsibilities. It is time to fight for the re-establishment of the constitution as the guiding document for this country. The “Great” depression brought about changes that began the move away from the constitution. Lets make this current economic crisis the turning point BACK to the constitution.
Yes, you can participate from home if you are unable to get out and join a tea party. Call your local organizer and tell them you would be glad to be of help by being a point of contact for the day, keep them abreast of breaking news, or any other duty that may need filled. Contact your local organizer for information on how to help and how to watch from home.
The time has come to throw out all elected officals and put people in office who have the countrys best interest at heart and not how much that can charge for speeches, books and their opinion after they retire.
Good for you, Larry!!! I will be somewhat limited that day also, but I see that my town, North Palm Beach, is listed as a gathering place, no contact info available yet. While the bigger group in West Palm Beach is out of the question for me on that day, I think I can get myself to my local one. PS: All the best to you, Larry!
DJ
We are having one too, in San Bernardino. It will be in front of San Bernardino City Hall, at 12:00 noon. Some of us will be going over to pay Baca, and Boxer, a visit too. Baca’s office is closed to us, they never let us in!
I’ve got my hat, gloves and my teacup, out and ready to go!!!!
It is time to form a new party and elect new representatives as both parties that have representatives in office are for the most part corrupt and biased. I believe instead of a Left or Right group we need a Balance down the Center group with representatives that represent the Working People who create the Gross National Product and keep this nation running. I recommend that we form the Working People’s Party and elect Working People to represent us, not lawyers and political career people. Then we could change the tax system to a more fair flat tax system that doesn’t require HIRING a CPA to understand what you should or shouldn’t pay. We could have insurance commissioners that would make the insurance companies pay their claims instead of cheating the ones who pay their premiums.
What do think about that?
There will be a huge Tea Party at the Capitol building in Sacramento. Neil Cavuto from FoxNews will be broadcasting live from the event.
Go to the912project.com to comment on things.
I agree with the comments above with respect to avoiding a diffuse message or mere symbolism at these things. Nothing will come of reenactment of boxes thrown in water. We are running out of time before the 15th but I implore you to each come up with a sign that demands at least ONE concrete change - not just focus on broad abstractions. It needs to be brief and clear - no inside conservatism shorthand and no quotes from blogs or radio shows that only we understand.
How About
“Message to Hopey McChange - America Owes No Apology To Anyone”
“Incumbents Out of Congress in 2010″
“Stop Obama Tax Increases NOW”
“Hands Off My Private Health Care”
“No Tax Money For ACORN”
“No Tax Bailout for Unions”
“No to Amnesty”
“Hands Off My Census”
“Read My Teleprompter - No New Taxes”
Where and when is the Sacto tea party for 4/15?
I will be there as will my daughters to protest the theft of their financial future by the Socialists Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. These three are amoung the most dangerous enemies of the America our fore-fathers founded, and they will not rest untill all family values and religous beliefs are extinguished. If Europe is so enamored with Obama I vote we all chip in to buy him a first class ticket if he agrees to live their and return our country to the people, to be governed by the people and for the people. I am deeply saddened to know that 1/2 of the country was so easily swayed by Obama’s political rhetoric and allowed him to be elected in the first place. It would be great if we could have a recall vote and see where he stands. Please read Rich Craigs post as it offers the best solution to save our country from the demise it is headed towards as being run by those now in office.
There is a Tea Party in Sacramento at the State Capitol from 12:00-3:00. Neil Cavuto will be broadcasting live from there. Here’s the Facebook group for it.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=78285541248
I will be counted amongst the patriots in Trenton NJ.
God Bless
Will be in Mobile, AL (beginning at Government Plaza) for the march.
Let’s teach this government we mean business. Take back America!
Sacramento Tea Party is on West Steps of State Capitol between 12 noon and 3PM.
Good luck.
Enough is enough!
We have gone too long without representation. We cannot longer rely on a one party system (The Demoplican Party).
Strength is in UNITY, let’s stand together and gain our country back!
Mercer County Tea Party, Princeton, Missouri, April 15, 2009. A county of 3000 welcomes like-minded Americans to join us at the town square in Princeton at 12 p.m.
I totally agree with what you’re saying and am in the same boat… our founding fathers had it right and it seems our government is on a path traveling 150 miles an hour away from that… I don’t know what to do…so I pray for our leaders and am attending a party…
I am not scared! I will be at the party standing up for my country! Obama Mohamed Hussein is going out of business and I am rocking roll.
MY HUSBAND AND I , WE WILL ATTENDING TEA PARTY IN MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA. BECAUSE OUR VOICES HAVE TO BE HEARD.
OBAMA , PELOSI, GEITHNER, FRANK, ACORN MAFIA , ARE DESTROYING
OUR COUNTRY AND MUT BE STOP !
here is a link to tea party locations and times.www.taxdayteaparty.com
Recycle old campaign signs or make new ones and put them out on the highways and byways to get the word out. I simply put the web site so people can choose their site. Specific sites or contact info works well too. Just keep it simple.
Keep the money home and we will take care of our own.

You must vote against President Obama’s massive spending programs until the economy is stabilized and most Americans are back to work. By taking on such huge debt at this time it will put us on the road to high inflation and a possible depression.
I grew up during the last “Great Depression” and I don’t want any of us to go through that again. Times were very bad for everyone. Food was scarce, jobs were non-existent, and despair was the daily general feeling of most Americans.
It wasn’t until WWII that we started to recover and people were able to get jobs through the war effort. Since the end of WWII we have been experiencing a relatively good economy and way of life until the housing collapse in 2008.
If this excessive spending is allowed to continue it will destroy the very fabric of this great country as we know it so that we may never fully recover.
You go girl. I just moved from Southern Illinois in 2-08. I have been to many Halloween Parades for the Republican candidates in Centralia. I lived in Mt. Vernon, but I have also lived in Centralia. I am so proud to see my small home towns taking part. I live in Nashville, TN, but if I could, I would be in Centralia to be at your tea party. Fondly, Jeanette Johnson
Darryl,
We think we can unite traditionally-minded, fiscally responsible people from both parties with the idea that we can affect the selection of candidates in both parties.
Myself? I bet I’m more conservative than you! But that doesn’t help us get back our government. We will try to unite people on Principles rather than Politics. I have discussed this with a few Democrats and they seem agreeable to these kind of talks.
SMITHTOWN,LI,NY - Join the Tea Party on April 18 at 12:00 Noon; meet in Uncle Giuseppe’s parking lot on Route 111 & Main Street.
Bring flags, signs, friends; spread the word.
For more information contact Lee at teaparty101@optonline.net
I can not attend a T.P. However I have written this on my CAR - “I wish I COULD attend a Tea Party - APR. 15 ! ” and ” taxdayteaparty.com ” Mary
I’m too old to demonstrate, but can I put up signs along the street? Is that allowed?
[...] you be attending a Tea Party on April 15? Where? I’m going to try and go to one in Iowa City, Iowa if there is one at that [...]
You are exactly correct. we also need to amass a group large enough to march on the capital mall in washington to make these liberal fools in power look out the window and ask “what is going on?”. Maby then the liberal news media and these socialist politicians we have let get elected in this country will get the message before we de-elect them in 2010 and 2012. I did not fight for my country in VietNam to have the likes of Nancy Polosi, Harry Reid, Barny Frank, and all the other far left idiots in government destroy our country.

You know what makes me the maddest is the fact that congressman makes $175,000 a year with an increase expected this year. That is over 3 times what my husband and I make TOGETHER! They want to force corporate CEOs to take pay cuts, but they make a lot more than most of their constituents for just sitting on their butts behind a desk. If you are that concerned about our economy congress, why don’t YOU take a pay cut? How about the average wage for your constituents? (I purposely didn’t capitalize congress, they don’t deserve it!)

YES !!! IN S<D !!!
They are saying that we are just disgruntled Republicans and Conservatives, But I say We are the People, the ones they are suppose to serve, the ones that are suppose to be in power. They, as “Progressives”, will tell you they know what is best for you, just let them lead. AS The People, I say to them, we may not get it right every time, but we do get it right eventually and we know what is best for us, we do not have to be told or be lead like a little child. The Constitution is not just for old white haired men, it is for all The People, not just a few “enlightened Progressives elitist”. We the People are more than just old white men; we are men and women, of all colors and backgrounds, but with common desires. The desire to see our children grow in safety and peace with all people, to have them succeed as defined by the “American Dream”, for us all to grow and be the best we all can be, to work hard and be rewarded to help others and not be demonized. Not to be put down and held down by government or by the few who want power over us by making us a welfare people. We are not a welfare people. The People are the power of the Constitution and of this government.
Progressives like that name because it sounds like they are thinking of the future. But who’s future. Just because something is old or from the past doesn’t mean it is not good or broken. We the People have not suddenly become incapable of handling our own affairs or making our own decisions. We see a need we fill it. We see a disaster, we reach out and help. We see an injustice, we fix it. If its not broke don’t fix it! This is our heritage and or history.
We are not Europe, we are not China or Asia or the Middle East, we are Americans. Unique because we are from all of these but are now one people. And with liberty and freedom, there is not anything or anyone we can not defeat. We the People need to reclaim just who we really are and let it be known, that this gathering and others like it around this nation, are just a start.
Just as a few in Hawaii had to get together and fix a road and bridge in 8 days that the government said would that 2 years, WE the People can fix anything better than the government. Just as few small groups were feeding, clothing, sheltering and restarting lives in Mississippi and parts of Louisiana after Katrina in just a few hours and days, some in New Orleans are still whining “where’s my check!” Just as Fargo, due to the people, sandbagged and survived at least for now, the rising river, We the People, must rise and let our will be known again and let our government know who really is in charge, least they have forgotten.
Its not the CEO’s or large unions that can destroy us, even though they can cause some pain, it is the ones that we put our trust in to govern us, that say one thing and do another, that say “they voted in out best interest”, instead of voting as we desired. We the People need to remind them who truly has the power and if they think it is them, then let them try to steal our VOTE, our voice, that we are using now, and they need to beware of the many other powers we have by the Constitution, Maybe it is time to use a new term to describe our President and Congress, Governors and State legislatures and others. You are not our leaders, you are our Representatives and you need to act like it and listen to We the People for we are the ones with the power and we are not afraid to us it anymore.
to hell with obama,pelosi, reid, and all the other one world order minions, lets get enough people together on april 15 to let them know we are deadly serious this time, and dont forget the turncoat republicans who allowed this vote to go forward, spector, snow, and the rest of the traitors, shumer your on the list also. take our country back for our children, and grandchildren, remember obama DONT TREAD ON ME ………….
Yes one will be in Monroe Mi. I think the sign said St. Marys Park. I’m checking it out today.
Dave
Everything you say is so true. Both parties are all about themselves and self improvement. I am up for a new party called the constitution party. We need a leader.
Hurst city hall, noon, I think! Google tax day tea parties - midcities TX
Good luck and have fun!
I love the “YOU’RE FIRED” idea. An avalanche on DC to Obama and maybe some others. Someone, get this organized! How about a march on DC. I have felt we need to have one since the gas prices went crazy. We have to start taking a stand for what this great country means to the world. Without America standing strong, where will our world be. Literally, God help us all.
Yep, It’s impeachment time in the US of A . If we don’t act NOW we will wind up like countries led by socialist and faciast leaders - Hitler, Mussolini, and the rest!! If that is what we want then we need to keep on taking what the pres and congress want to dish out to us. What the h–l are we waiting for!!
I just can’t make it to a local Tea Party to protest the taxation without representation that our government is dishing out.
So, as my little protest, I will not shop, ANYWHERE, or buy anything on April 15th.
Not gas, not fast food, not pay a bill online.
I will keep my money in my hands on April 15th.
Who will join me?
Let us show them just how much taxes and inflation take of our hard earned wages.
Let us show them that we will not go quietly as they take all we have.
Remember to focus on the spending. Per Beck’s show today watch out for people who are trying to make us look bad by making outrageous statements and “representing” us. I’m still debating on taking my kids. My son is so excited hes making signs out of old boxes. We are in South Carolina and any comments on bringing my kids would be welcome.
I like your thinking. Shrink congress to half its size. Term limits are needed!
End the power grab and earmarks many are bent on passing regardless of
economic conditions. Let the auto companies fail! Free fall will stop when they hit bottom. True recovery then can begin. I will attend TEA PARTY in Lee’s Summit, MO.

It is nothing short of insanity. The United States is deeply in debt, with a large portion of it held by countries like China. Yet the action taken by our leadership is to spend trillions of dollars more not only further bankrupting our country today, but jeopardizing the future for our children and grandchildren.
The federal government isn’t going to solve the problems of the U.S. economy, they will only make it worse. It is time that the people of America took over, as intended by the founders of our country and expressed in President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address… “of the people, by the people, for the people”.
To this end a new initiative has begun, Operation B-A-S-E, Buy-American-Save-Economy. Our great strength as a nation is, and always has been, in manufacturing. We are calling for a resurgence of American manufacturing, products made in America by American companies. Coupled with this will be a commitment by the American people to buy American made products. The caveat is that the American companies have to be very customer service oriented and that the manufactured goods have to be of excellent quality and offer high value. Given these two qualifications, there is no question that the American people long to buy products made in America by American companies.
Operation B-A-S-E is our only hope to save our economy and provide for the future financial security of our nation. It will provide for large number of continuing jobs as well as make the money flow again within our country. This would result in both a financially healthy Wall Street and Main Street. Nothing could be more fundamentally powerful and sound than this initiative.
As a beginning, to this end the CEO’s of the Big Three automakers, Alan Mulally, Ford; Fritz Henderson, General Motors; and Robert Nardelli, Chrysler, have been sent a letter urging them to participate in Operation B-A-S-E. What better place to start than turning the American auto industry around.
Also, as part of this initiative we will also ask American owned companies with overseas manufacturing to re-locate their manufacturing plants back to America, especially when their products are marketed and sold in America. To start, a letter was sent to Mark Hurd, CEO of Hewlett Packard, urging him to consider re-locating manufacturing back to the United States of HP products marketed and sold in North America.
It is time for the American people to stand up and take the lead before it is too late. Our current direction is disastrous. Operation B-A-S-E is our only hope for a sustained healthy economy in America.
Attending tea party in The Woodlands, Texas. Sign to be carried:
“I will keep my freedom, my money and my guns………..you keep the change”
As exciting as is this new awakening of our Country, I am very concerned about some of the “next step” questions being asked.
Some are wondering if this movement will revitalize the Republican Party. Others ask if we should all join the Libertarian or Constitution Party. Still others anxiously propose the formation of a new party.
I humbly but resolutely disagree with the premise all of these questions. To quote the Father of Our Country on the matter…
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
– George Washington, 1796
It is the Party system which is the core of the problem. So, what choice is there? Allow me to paraphrase Richard Pryor from the movie Brewster’s Millions… “None of the Above!”
You are part of a new grassroots movement and you need a new paradigm. Heed the warnings and concerns of the Founding Fathers. Abstain from the party system.
Find a person in your district who is A) willing to run for office, B) willing to renounce all party affiliations, if such exist, C) will swear to uphold, promote, and live by the Founding Values and Principles of our Country.
Once you have found this person, build a grassroots campaign around him or her. Canvass, campaign, fundraise, and get this person elected. Once elected, hold his or her feet to the fire and make sure the promises are kept.
Above all, do not allow this to become another political party. That would be the death of this effort to return our Government to the people and save our Country.
If every part of our Country which is hosting a “Tea Party” would do this, the shift of power in Washington would be significant. It may not result in a new majority, but it need not do so in order to change the debate and the direction of our Country.
Either this, or we can become even more like Europe, with hundreds of small, chattering parties vying for attention and votes. Not a winning strategy in my book.
In the eternal fight between Individualism versus Collectivism, the cause of Individualism is best fought for by individuals.
Be careful of the politicians who try to show up at these things. Here in Texas, our governor, Rick Perry is trying to speak out at our local tea party. Why? He is part of the problem. He’s been our gov for 8 years. Did nothing to stop illegals, protect our jobs, stop the North American Union between Mexico, America and Canada, has spent money like crazy, followed all of Bush’s spending etc…
Why would we give these guys the mic? This isn’t their day to talk.. it’s their day to shut the hell up, listen and then worry like hell….
“The people are the Masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to over-throw
the Constition but to over throw the men who perverted it.”
President Abraham Lincoln
Forget about Republicans and Democrats! We all are Americans sick and tired of an out of control congress. They gave away 1 Trillion tax dollars!! They think they can get away with it!!! PEOPLE IT”S UP TO US TO SEE THIS IS NOT ALLOWED! THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!!
Yes, I’ll be at the Indianapolis tea party. I will bet that Acorn group will be there too. So we need numbers ther to prove that enough people are against this socialistic movement that is going on . I wonder too, how much ABC, CBS, NBC, and other controlled media will pan this event.

I’m in for the Tea Party In Walnut Creek Ca.
My husband and I will be at the one in Orlando on Wed, night.
As we are now only hours away from the Tax Day Tea Parties might I make a few suggestions?
Prepare yourself, write down specifically what you would like to see come out of the movement. Also write down specifically what concerns you about what is going on today in this country. This way whether media interviews you or simply talking to other T’s you won’t get tongue-tied and will better move your agenda forward.
Next I would recommend that everyone do their best to use these this protest to better organize the movement. Get names and contact info for like-minded people and try to get at least an agreement at your location to have a follow up meeting in your area. It might be helpful to decide on an interim contact person for your area who can interact with others doing the same in other areas until a person can be formally decided on in your follow up meeting.
I hope the T-parties are a resounding success, but in order to have any lasting affect a coming together and focus that will be large, lasting, and impossible to ignore must follow them.
Good luck and God Bless

DallasTexas is having one of their tea parties at the Dallas City Hall, on Akard Street on south side of downtown, 4-15th. from 5:30 to 8:00 pm.. Be there if you can and let the unprogressives know we are going to take our government back..
I am curious, now that the US Government owns about 80% of AIG and Freedie Mac and Mae, I have a good question who are they going to give the big bonuses to each year? Can I apply or is it going to gw bush or President Obama. Perhaps cheney is in line or rove, Why not ME. Frank
where in Doylestown PA will the Tea Party take place? Please advise asap
thanks James S
A friend told me that Bush basically put out seven trillion dollars in the last few months of his administration.
I didn’t believe it, so I called him on it.
But now my friend just gave me his source… and it shows, from about two months before Obama took office, where they got the seven trillion dollars figure: http://www.cnbc.com/id/27719011
I want to know what is a good response to him.
It really looks like this is real information.. it’s from CNBC which is pro-business and pretty darned conservative.
Did the Fed and other government and sort-of-government organizations pledge and lend SEVEN TRILLION dollars??? Or… is this a mistake or something?
I hope someone has some answers because it sure looks like Bush was the big spender.
Please, do not bring the rights of women into this forum, especially when you’re not even a woman! This is not the time nor the place for your “Pro-Life” stance! I’m pro-life and a woman, but you don’t see me knocking down the chairman of the RNC, who by the way, is a very respectable man, who feels that it’s not his right to tell a woman what she should or should not do with her own body, because he considers every woman to be his equal. I don’t know how old you are, maybe you’re too young yet to realize this, and I’m not trying to be harsh in any way, shape, or form, but there are people in this country who can’t even put food on the table because of the predicament that our own government has put us in, millions of people have lost their jobs in America; an average of approximately 625,000 people every month since December! And you wnat to bring up the issue of pro-life vs. pro-choice? Like I said, in the future, choose your battles wisely and only if you have the facts to back it up and make sure those battles are fought at the appropriate time and place, not here and not at the rally! Youre totally missing the big picture here.
Bush was a huge spender, and yet Obama has managed to top Bush by a huge margin.
Hey everyone!!
It’s great to see all the individuals who are fed up with the current situation our government has placed us in, but I can’t help thinking that we share a great deal of that blame and responsability ourselves. Re-electing state and other governmental officials time after time, whether it be because we’re familiar with their name or because we just click on the box at the voting booth “Democrat” or “Republican” ticket across the board, without even educating ourselves on what each of these candidates has accomplished or if their priorities coincide with our own. Accepting blame, on our parts, is the first step and deciding where we go from here in moving our country in a positive direction is the step that follows! Ask yourselves, “What am I really willing to do?” to preserve this great nation that we know and love! You’re standing up and saying: ” I’m not going to take it anymore!” , but then what? What are we going to do to make our America a better place? Before I found out about this tea party movement, I felt as if I was all alone, and one person can not expect to make a difference or change anything, but now, I feel : “HOPEFUL”.
“HOPEFUL” that we can come together , every man and woman across America and take back our government! “HOPEFUL” that even if we have to tighten our purse strings, that we have in fact made that decision for ourselves and come to an agreed census for the betterment of our country. “HOPEFUL”, that we can in the near future see America, once again, as “The Land of Oppertunity”! But how do we do this? Does anyone have an answer? Folks, if we don’t do something now, our country will be no better off than England! Oh, I know, England is such a great place to visit, but have you ever seen how the locals live? They get paid once a month and their taxes are over 40% of their gross pay. Their utilities are astronomical, so they hang their clothes on the line, never use dryers ( they have drying cubboards), and they don’t bathe or shower daily, they have what they call, ” a proper wash”, which is basically a fancy way of saying, ” I fill the bathroom basin with water, grab a bar of soap and a wash cloth, and wash myself down”! Universal healhcare should be labeled, “Absent Healthcare”, over there! They line up, sometimes for blocks and blocks just to see the dentist for something as simple as a tooth extraction, and by the time they reach the front of the line, the day has come & gone, the doors close, and you still have one heck of a toothache! This is where we’re headed, folks! I’ve seen it there and I see what has been appening here! And some of the things that we all see may go un-noticed and hold very little meaning or value to you, but I know how it began England, and I see it happening here now! Again, I ask each and everyone of you, What are we going to do? Maybe, reviewing our state government officials and deciding whether or not their worthy of holding their current offices would be the first step. If they prove to not be worthy to us as a whole, call for an impeachment of these officials and sign our names to a petition requesting their resignation! Any impropieties on the part of our government officials, whether it be embezzlement of governmental funds or misapporpriation of those funds, sign petitions to make a citizen’s arrest! Then, we put people like ourselves in those governmental positions and one by one, we take back our country! I don’t know, but it’s at least an idea that goes beyond protesting! We can complain all we want, but that isn’t going to change anything, they won’t stand up and take notice until we take the government away from them and start calling the shots ourselves! If our Founding Fathers could do it, then so can we! And they already laid down the groundwork for us, so it should be easier than what they had to deal with! I don’t know, am I hoping that someone feels the way I do, and if I’m wrong with my way of thinking, tell me how you feel…maybe my views are different than yours and you don’t agree. I am just fed up with everything I’ve been seeing and the amount of damage that we’ve allowed the government to inflict upon us!! We’ve handed over our trust to them foolishly and blindly, and look at what has happened! It’s time to wake up, it’s time to act,; it’s time to take control!
I FEEL YOU MAN.
im going and bringing my children to see im trying to save their future. I am also bring a numbersusa.com poster to protest our tax dollars going to illegal immigrants. I consider any amnesty a forien national bailout that my children will pay for, then have to compete against the reciepents in the future for the american dream
Please look at the attached link.

information is knowledge, knowledge is power. Don’t be a sheep, read and think.
How about Newport beach?
I think it’s at the capitol. Look on Foxnews.com because Neil Cavuto is covering Sacramentos tea party!
Is there a Tea Party in Utah?
Are tea party goers writing in with how many approximately were at their tea party? It would be very interesting & we would not have to depend on possibly inaccurate info from local & national media! The 3: abc, nbc, cbs & various other will certainly downplay.
I’m taking a carload of friends to the tea party in Kalamazoo on Wed. I e-mail reps and congressmen regularly with my concerns. I want to do whatever possible to preserve this country and our freedoms. I talk to people about the issues and try to be informed by listening to both sides. I believe there are tons of frustrated people in America who feel they are not being heard. Thanks to all the caring individuals for their hard work to make the tea parties happen.
In front of University Mall from 3 - 6 pm.
this type of activism is great to see and our responsibility as Americans. As an independent with enough knowledge to filter out the mindless bullshit on both sides of the fence ala Sean Hannity on the right and Randy Rhodes on the left. Where was all this outrage for the last 8 years when George Bush ran up the largest deficit in our history, military contracted with his buddies at a rate 3-4x the pay of our beloved soldiers without congressional oversight, etc. etc. Please for the sake of our nation lets think for ourselves and turn off mainstream media ha counts on and contributes to us being ignorant of the facts-CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc. read, learn, challenge ourselves and what we think we know. DEms and Repubs are all owned by the banks. Don’t be fooled that any one party is clean. Lets take all the shitheads down.
Darryl,
History tells us that no splinter group has ever made a serious impact on a national election. Look at Ron Paul, Joe Lieberman, or Bill Forbes, all very smart with great concepts and leadership ability, yet could not garner but a small percentage in a national vote. The mountain is too big.
On the other hand, the Republican party only needs a few more delegates to win back the majority and swing the pendulum the other way.
We need to work together to rebuild the Republican Party. I think they know
they letus down, the betrayed us, and they lost our confidence and support.
We need to find a Leader with the right credentials, passion, strategy, running mate, and values to make a successful run for President. We need to pick our man early and support him al the way to the whitehouse. A man like Gingrich, Huckaby, or Romney.
We need to rebuild the Republican Pary Platform with a “New Contract with America” to counteract the Socialist Agenda of Obama and the Democrats and expose those policies for what they are.
We can start now by revolting against Obamas’ tax & spend policies Wed, 4/15.
Planning on attending Lisbon tea party. I might suggest that instead of “A revolution is brewing” that it be changed to “A restoration is brewing” I am sure that most people are not really interested in a revolution as much as a restoration to the representative republic which our constitution established. How many of the divisive issues that polarize our nation would disappear overnite if The Constitution of the United States was being adherred to?
Timing will be right for me to make 2 different tea parties here in NH. 1 a bit south of me and another later in the day a bit north of me. I am looking forward to it.
I am also anxious to see what main stream media paints these tea parties as, I bet I already know but hope that I am surprised by the coverage if there is any.
What will this do? Absolutely nothing. Standing around and complaining has never accomplished anything in the history of the world. That is all that is happening here.
You will not be throwing tea into the harbour, in fact, you will not be doing anything of any concern to any of the people who have the power to change things. They will not even acknowldge this event.
I have far better things to do with my time since there is a 100% chance that this will not change a thing.
Great job organizing a movement that WORKING, frugal, honest Americans can get behind. I encourage you to stay motivated. This would be a valuable asset come next voting time. Perhaps guidance for voters as to good choices for unwasteful politicians.
I really fear for my country more than ever before. Talk about a power seize! In a few short months the government is going to control our health, our banks, our insurance institutions, our car manufacturers, and, and, and…
No new taxes? Our childrens’ children will still be paying for what we’re spending now!
4 TRILLION DOLLARS in 90 days AND government control of WAY too much!!!!!
We already have a too big government getting bigger and more powerful by the second (or should I say by the dollar)?
Sooooo, “Comrades”, I for one will be in downtown Chicago tomorrow at noon!
Power to the People!
I’d like to suggest those attending tea parties take their digital cameras with them so they can post photos of the scope of their events on the internet. Any photos I’ve seen of previous events by the MSM have included shots of one or two people holding up signs. It’s important that we capture the sizes of the crowds of people across the country who are fed up with the direction our government is taking us!! Maybe then our ‘representatives’ will listen to us.
Matt,
Well said and I agree. Being a Democrat Conservative is pointless within that party anymore, one that has caused me much grief by my fellow Dems’. I’m CONSERVATIVE above party affiliation and somehow we all must find a way to unite under ONE banner.
At last the forum is here for Americans to tell others how they vehemently oppose the “Pork” imposed by the current administration. Don’t be fooled by the leftist propaganda (NBC/James Carville) trying to discredit how you feel and dissuade you from destroying their perfect campaign of lies, spending and destruction of American values. Don’t turn this into Europe! We are Americans, uncontrolled by media suggestion and stupid campaigns of empty hope! Time to think for yourself. “Don’t tread on me!”
Look, the so called “progressive party” you know the party I’m speaking of, the one that says I’m always right, and you’re always wrong…. yes that party wants this tea party to fail and to fail hard!!! Too me, this is not about democrat and republicans, this is about a group of people that are fed up with both parties and they want “their government” back!!!!
So, lets start to take the first step and take back our country!!!
You and I are the same. I refused to vote for McCain and so I voted for the Constitution party. I don’t see it as a wasted vote because I voted my conscience. I am tired of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ .The two party system is killing our country and until we enact term limits for all elected officials, we will continue to go down the road to socialism!
We want to wish everyone attending the TEA PARTY all the best. We will be having our own TEA PARTY here in Kandahar Afghanistan. We are with you all in spirit. Let them here you in Washington.
Semper Fi
From the moutains of Kandahar Afghanistan, HAVE A GREAT TEA PARTY. We will be having our own TEA PARTY here. Let them hear you in washington.
Semper Fi
Thanks for all you’re doing over there. I am going and will be your voice also!!
I wish I could take my vote back. I regret voting for Obama. He is the one true Socialist and I wont stand for it. My family and I will be attending. Even though I work, I am taking a half day to support my country men and woman and children.
Ithaca, NY, Tea Party will be Saturday, April 25, 2009, 1:00-3:00pm, Wood Street Park (corner of Wood St. and Rt. 13, across from K-Mart). For info: jckelly@lightlink.com
Sam Adam and others threw tea into Boston harbour over a .02 cent tax on tea. We currently pay around 50% of all income to the gov in one form or another of taxes and there are not protests in the streets, till tomorrow!
Can Someone help me find a Tea Party location in or near Murrieta, CA
Thanks,
Cali
This is a friendly reminder of the Tucson Tea Party which will take place on Wednesday, April 15th, in downtown Tucson. I hope you can make it. The more people who can attend, the louder the message.
What is the message: We’re taxed enough, we don’t want an additional 1 cent sales tax, temporary or not and we especially don’t want the fed’s taxing our ammo! It is getting hard enough to find and because of the scarcity issue, it is certainly too costly!
I hope to see you there.
Specifics:
Where: El Presidio Park, 115 North Church St., Tucson, Arizona
When: April 15, 2009, 9 am to 2 pm

Hey Ya’all–I wonder what would happen if we all claimed tax exempt at our place of employment. Would the government then have no money to spend? Anyway folks, whatever we hope to accomplish here will take a deep down desire to be a group by the people for the people. It will cost plenty, to get back to the basics of our founding fathers. Sacrifice is the sign of all true patriots, pioneers, and public service. The country will go through many changes in growing back. There will end up a depression I believe. But that is where Americans pull together to help one another and be blessed by God for our efforts.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country; Hummm sounds good to me. Stand up America, Stand up for Freedom, One Nation Under God. Keep America great for our children and their children. God Bless American and see everyone at Lafortune Park.
I sincerely hope that everyone who is tired of the way Goverment is taking over our lives and telling us how to live and putting us into a national debt for forever, will find a tea party and attend. They will probably monitor the tea parties but no more than they are monitoring your comments. The best friend President Obama and his followers have are the people who sit at home and do nothing. So stand up and be counted. Do not sit by and watch all of your freedoms be taken away. Speak out while you can because you never know how long you will be able to speak freely. In all of my years I would never have dreamed that our beloved Country would come to this. I can only hope that our country as we know it can survive as “ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” not just those in the higher ranks of the goverment. PLEASE attend a tea party and let your voice be heard!!!!!
I stumbled accross the Libertarians website the other day and found it very interesting. I Think a lot of people would find it more representitive as far as “Traditional American Belief” than other political parties.
I hope this movement doesn’t get highjacked by the Repubs. I had a glimmer of hope that we may shift slightly toward our original Libertarian form of governance. A government that truley feared the wrath of it’s citizens. As it stands, our Bill Of Rights has been poluted and deluted by Rupub & Dem to the point that it has little function or meaning.
I’m not going to take this lying down anymore! I’m standing up! No more big Govt.
Darryl,
Like you I am fed up with both parties. I did some very brief research into other parties - though I’m not sure where I’ll land at this moment. The Tea Party tomorrow is something I’ve really been looking forward to - I’m pumped to unite with my freedom loving brothers and sisters across this great country of ours. It’s encouraging to know there are many thousands (millions?) of us across the USA who will not go down without a fight. And we intend to WIN!
I understand there is a tea party here in E-Town KY @ the square 4-6 PM I truly hope that We The People show up for this historic occassion. It is time to cowboy up and express your outrage about this Republic being hijacked by the politicians, get their attention and their butt out of D.C. and live with the laws they force on us the citizens. Exercise your right to protest and assemble, unfortunately this may be a right that is soon extinct, if we do not answer the call. I cannot believe what is taking place, our fore fathers would be rolling over in their graves to see what has happened. Dave in E-Town
There’s one in Temecula - is that close to you?

I think the technology exists to give each citizen one vote for each dollar of taxes he pays. That would give us taxation WITH representation! My wife of 33 years and I will attend a tea party tomorrow.
I have always been a conservative and a current events junkie. I have always been very politically aware but never a political activist until Mr. Obama started his campaign. I am currently outraged by what this president, who seems to hate his own country, is doing to all of us. I feel strongly that every single American who is troubled by what is happening needs to be at one of these events. I never ever thought I would go into battle to fight for our freedoms and our way of life and the opponent would be our president. I do not believe in wealth redistribution, socialism, tax bailouts, government control of anything. And believe me, if national health care comes in, God help us all. That will be the thing to bring this country down. I will be at the tea party in Madison, WI doing my part as an American who has always loved this country and been proud and lucky to live here. This is a very important time in our country’s history and I hope all who read this will be at one of these parties that will go on all over the country. The people who formed this country and made it the great powerhouse that it is are the people who stood up and did something about how they felt on the direction this country should go. We have that same opportunity now! Hey everybody, WE are “the people” and we have a chance to be heard in large numbers at these parties. Let’s let those who supposedly represent us in Washington know how we feel. This is OUR country but if we don’t let our feelings be heard we may lose this country as we’ve always known it, and it won’t take long. To all of you patriots who attend one of these events tomorrow, I salute you and thank you.
I love it, Yeh I have no problem with telling him he’s fired!
john, i am replying to your comment..that you are sorry you voted for obama. i commend you for acknowledging it was a mistake. but, what is so powerful is that you are now taking a stand. obama needs to hear that this isn’t a party issue, but an american one. people that voted for him are taking to the streets because they were deceived..as we all were. he is destroying our america for those that chose big government and entitlements. that is NOT what this great country was founded on. maybe he should refresh himself and read the constitution. god bless and tell obama…don’t tread on me.
I’m a Conservative teenager from Chicago. My Mom, her friends and I will be attending the Chicago Tea Party tommorrow!!! Let’s show Chicago who we are and that bigger isn’t always better!!!!!! USA!!!!
I can’t come!!!! It’s one of my volunteer days for a group that supports returning wounded warriors. Guess I’m doing my part, but really wish I could have come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all who can go!
Will be in Yakima, WA. Couldn’t pay me to stay away.
Good comment: “A revolution is brewing” that it be changed to “A restoration is brewing” I am sure that most people are not really interested in a revolution as much as a restoration to the representative republic which our constitution established.”
The idea of revolution is scary, but if that’s what it takes, I’m ready & willing. My USAF dad did NOT spend his life serving the kind of country Øbummer is trying to make of us.
We need to get this USURPER Øbummer who is defiling the White House, OUT!
I suppose you have the answer to this by now?? Harrisonburg VA is hosting one! Let me know if you want more details.
Lisa
Great Link. Will attend .
If Democrat or Republican - we all are Americans !
Washington has to understand - We are the People
There is one in your city, go to the website and it will tell you where.
Just click on California on this page and it will take you there.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO BE FIRE OBAMA, AND BIDEN………
Aaron:
I wholeheartedly agree with you on EVERY point. I’ll be at Market Square also and hopefully we all can gain momentum from here.
Live to be Free!
(while ya still can…)
Check on Hannity’s web site, he is going to be transmiting from there

Your poem is so good, I passed it on to my friends, God Bless America!

Stand up for common sense and accountability. I’ll see you at the Cache Valley Tea Party.

I am a american citizen, patriot and a supporter of my troops. I am so fed up with my goverment who seems to look after those who do not work who collect disability and have jobs on the side. I feel this is steealing. I have worked hard all my life and paid taxes just like everyone else. The goverment has gone to far with this stimulus and tax increase. We have let our gaurd down on terroist and I am truly worried about my children and grandchildren. This debt we have allowed to occur because we put an expierence person in control that doesn’t have the common since to ask cooperate leaders who have been succesful is a shame.

ALOHA! For over twenty years I’ve been saying, “We’re late,we’re,late,we’re late, - For a VERY IMPORTANT date: “The 2nd. GREAT AMERICAN Tea Party”
I’ve wanted to be 1st. in line for this momentous event, but I,m having a hard time finding the RIGHT PLACE to attend. I live in El Cajon, CA. & can & will travel.
ANY HELP will be appreciated more than you could imagine! P L E A S E help me find a good location, contact:
Thank YOU for any ideas &/info. —- the Joe —-
P.S. I doubt the “NWO” will let this opportunity slip by without provocation using “false flag” agitators attempting to cause lawful & peaceful demonstrators to look bad! Take care, stay safe, & remain PEACEFUL please. W/ Compassion.
PLEASE!! forget all the Im a Dem. or Rep. or Indp. WE ARE AMERICANS period!!! We are loseing everything to government,and polititions we work hard and they take it. I have always taught my kids you must work hard for what you want,? now they have seen us do this and we are losing everything,and we NEVER over bought so I wish the media would stop saying that. Hard working people are losing there jobs and home not people that sit home and let the rest of the town pay for their lazyness. If in the stimulas package they had giving us the taxs payers a million dollars we would have done a BETTER stimulas than all this NONSENCE !!!
I will attend two Tea Parties today. One at noon and one at 5pm. I hope to get some answers or at least some direction for eliminating the corrupt government that now has control of our nation. My intent is to be involved. I want a total government makeover!!! Soon! before it’s too late.
Don’t forget, dear friends, that what the Colonists had going for them was the right idea and dependence on God. We need to be called to action, YES! But I believe the first action, like our forefathers exampled for us at the Constitutional Convention where Ben Franklin called for each meeting to opened with prayer, is a call to prayer ourselves. Look at any of the speeches of George Washington, our founding Father. He had willingness to act, leave his beloved farm, and lead the fight against the world super power. But he bathed it all in humble dependence on God. Believers, I encourage us to take 2 Chronicles 7:14 to heart and start there….
“If my people, called by my Name, shall humble themselves, and pray,and seek My Face, and turn from THEIR wicked way, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and HEAL THEIR LAND!!! ”
Pray! humble ourselves and ask God’s provision. Obama might not believe we are a Judeo/Christian country anymore..Why would he? He was brought up by a Muslim father and and a Communist/ Atheist mother and had Reverend Wright as a father figure spouting his,trash at him for 20 years. But I’d like to show him what true Power really is…Humble, dependence on God, as our forefathers did.
Nothing can prevail against it! Have great tea parties but we need to pray!!
My kind of town, Chicago is my kind of town!
10 a.m. Lafayette Park, Washington, DC - Be there!
I THINK THE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS SHOULD TAKE A HUGE PAYCUT, GIVE UP THEIR FREE HEALTH CARE AND PAY LIKE THE REST OF US, AND THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH THE REGULAR PEOPLE. I THINK NANCY PELOSI, HARRY REID, DOBBS, WRANGLE, ETC., SHOULD ALL BE IMPEACHED. I THINK THE ONES WHO DO NOT PAY THEIR TAXES SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE WITHOUT PAY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE TERM LIMITS FOR ALL SENATORS. IF THEY ARE GOING TO CAP THE SALARIES OF TOP EXEC’S THEIR PAYS SHOULD ALSO BE TOPPED.
Where in Missouri are the tea parties held today?
I’ll be attending in Lisbon, Ohio. Noon sharp.
We have been, and are currently being taxed to death. Enough is enough!
Tea, anyone?
RE: Toledo TEA party:

International Park, 26 Main St.
Toledo, OH
Hope you go! I’ll be on the other side of the state.

Show your support of the Tea Parties even if you can’t attend. Wear a tea bag, tie one to your antenna, hang one from your rear view mirror!
could not agree with you more except to say you are being way to kind.
the time has come to stop being respectful towards people who disrespect us.
they need to be run out of town the same way they want to do punish
incompetant people in management.
our political leaders are grossly incompetant, may i say even criminal.
nancy pelosi’s ass, among many others, should be at the top of the list to feel our shoes.
i am an american and proud of it.
the time has come to demonstrate to these so called leaders that this is OUR country.
I will be attending the TEA PARTY IN ST. LOUIS.at Kiener Plaza
This is the greatest movement we have had in this country in over a century.
100 million strong would be a good start to cleaning up the problem.
The more tax money they get from us the more time and energy they can spend on meddling in our daily lives.
There is a tea party being held at the University Mall sidewalk from 3pm until 6pm.
Let us hope this will catch it is long overdue
We as a nation are facing more like 50 trilion in debt
I wish I could come… but I have to work to pay the salaries(welfare, handouts) of those that don’t wish to work.
It’s the Socialist American Dream!!
IT IS TOO LATE FOR US TAX PAYING HUMANS. RUN BO RUN AND RUN
FAST………
I have been employed since I was 9 years old. My first job was a paper route, I had fold, bag, deliver, and collect for two hundred customers. By the time I was 13 I moved up to dishwasher, then to a block and mortar guy, shoveled concrete for $1.65/hr, welded car seats, and worked for state engineers office all before I turned 18 years of age. I am currently 50 years old and have paid for my own education after the age of 30 without any assistance. My father had a bad stroke and I put off my life to take care of my parents until my father passed away in 2006. I had to keep my sister afloat after her husband died very young with cancer she developed asthma could not work. Taking care of my family building my own house and getting an MBA mostly at night was hard, but did not bother me. I never worried because I knew I could do it and I had hopes and dreams that one day I would be successful enough to enjoy my life. Now however I fell like after 40 plus years of hard work my American dream is being stolen by the Washington politicians. These people are not only wanting 70% in taxes from my income, They also continue to charge me for the house I have already paid for twice. Now the spend from Washington and the printing press they are running night and day is going to make what little portion I get to keep from my paycheck worth less and less as this money hits the streets. So yes I intend to protest for the first time in my life against the government I so proudly supported in the past.
EVERYONE who believes in liberty and freedom and believes that Washington representatives serve the people by up holding the Constitution of the United States needs to attend a tea party if they are able. It is our duty. The Dallas, Texas Tea Party is 6:00 pm to 9:00 PM downtown Dallas, at City Hall .
I will be a Waco Tea Party
And I am campaigning against Chet Edwards he is a BIG spender.
Jim Robinson
I am a member of the CCA and The WCPAC. Of course you don’t know what that means because it is local but my motto is:TAKE BACK AMERICA, NOW!
We have to do something before it is too late. Obamma is wrong. This is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles!
The country we the free love is being hijacked by Obama.
Th administration is taking advantage of the ignorance of many while ruining the rest of us. I am sick of it. Let our voices be heard.
I couldn’t attend a tea party because I am working ……to support those who don’t.
I AM SO GLAD THAT THIS DAY HAS COME, WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY .
WE NEED LOWER THE TAXES AND WE NEED COME BACK TO OUR ROOTS THAT THIS GREAT NATION WAS FOUNDED ON.
I REALLY AM UP SET BUT WHAT I SEE HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY. IT’S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO STAND AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, AND SAY WHAT THEY SAID A LONG TIME AGO, DON’T TREAD ON ME!
I AM IN TOMS RIVER NJ, NOT NEAR ANY BIG CITY NOT SURE WHERE IS THE CLOSEST ONE TO ME IS, BUT IN ANY CASE I AM STANDING WITH ALL THAT SUPPORT THIS DAY!!
YES I WILL POST, I AM A BELIEVE IN GOD AND STAND IN WHAT THIS GREAT NATION WAS FOUNDED ON AND THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD, ONE CANNOT CHANGE HISTORY JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT TO BELIEVE, THE FACT IS FROM THE TIME OF THE PILGRIMS AND TO OUR FIRST PRES, THAT IS GEORGE WASHINGTON WE ARE A NATION FOUND ON LIBERTY AND GOD AND OF FAITH. I AM NOT A SHAMED TO BE A CHRISTIAN AND BELIEVE IN THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS GIVEN US THIS FREEDOM AND THIS LAND.
TO SAY WE ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION NOR EVER WERE IS JUST NOT RIGHT. TO SAY ALL PEOPLE ARE BELIEVERS IN AMERICA IS NOT TRUE BUT I BELIEVE WE ALL CAN STAND FOR OUR FREEDOM THAT WE HOLD SO DEAR.
AS FAR AS THE TAXES GO, LOWER THEM, HOW CAN WE BUILDED OUR NATION IF WE RAISE OUR SPENDING TO MORE THEN WE COULD EVER PAY BACK, AND TAX US TO THE POINT OF PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES AND JOBS. IT IS TIME AMERICA TO STAND UP IF WE DON’T WE WILL ALL LOSE IN THIS.
REPUBLICAN GET IT TOGETHER, REMEMBER OUR ROOTS AND REMEMBER THE LITTLES ONES THAT WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF THIS NEW PRESIDENT WANT TO ALLOW ABORTIONS ACROSS THE BOARD. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
NOW I DO HAVE TO PRAY FOR THIS NATION, AND FOR THIS NEW PRESIDENT AND I WILL, BUT I DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH HIM.
MAY GOD HELP HIM TO SEE THAT BY TURNING OUR BACKS ON OUR GOD AND THE LIBERITIES WE HOLD DEAR, WE WILL BE UNDER HIS ALMIGHTY HAND. I WANT TO SEE HIS BLESSINGS NOT HIS HAND RAISED AT US.
FROM CHERYL
I just paid my taxes today, i am back to broke again. More than 5,000 dollars I had to pay. I want to think that it’s my patriotic duty, that it is going towards the good of my County, but how can I? People like Geithner kill my patriotism.
And all i can think is how he is spending it. It really kills my motivation to work.
I say NOONE SHOULD PAY TAXES until LEGAL Americans are working and the borders are closed! THAT would send a message! What if the REAL American taxpayer went on strike for a week? Do you think THAT would send a message?
When there is no money left to tax, who will pay? Let the Illegals pay it!
To HELL with them!
Can’t make a tea party?
Then send a virtual tea bag!!
http://teaparty.gop.com/
Spread the word
man somebody really should of found a way to create a listing of all the locations in every state about the tea party when and wheres.
YES !!!!!!! oc area– !
My husband and I are going to the tea party in Richmond, VA this evening. I am truly disappointed in how the White House and other news agencies are putting this out. They are portraying this as a stand against taxes, and it is to some extent, but I see it more as a stand against big government and all of the wasteful spending that has taken place for many years now. I’m angry that a lot of our elected officials think that we cannot think for ourselves, so we do not care what they do with our money. We are not just the chattering classes that don’t care about “porky projects”. Granted, many Americans don’t pay attention. They will be the ones who wake up one morning and say, “Hey, what happened”. All I can say is, “wake up now and let your voice be heard”.
Don’t let this go after tax day. You have to be a pain to your congressman and Senator or nothing will be done It will “die on the vine”
Hi Darryl Marshall,
I have an idea how about instead of following these splinter groups as they are nothing more than mouthpieces for ideas we know will not work and rely on yourself. Serious, most of these groups are as bankrupt as their message.
Stand up and be heard. Be armed with the facts from the Constitution of the United States.
1000 People at the Sarasota Marina Jack Tea Party at 12 Noon!!!!!!!!!!!
Took many pictures all people were very respectful and many Patriotic Signs and American Flags were displayed. No litter what so ever was left behind. The Cars passing buy were all honking their horns in support of the Tea Party.
The BLVD was full of signs and people fed up with our Government not listening to us.
Good job people well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to keep this movement on going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Santa Clarita, Calif…. yeah! Bring your signs and your passion!
Beautifully stated!
sorry we can’t attend one but give you all our support and thanks ..we have needed this for a long time…we need good people to serve in gov…who are honest and have common sense.
My wife and I have been watching the tea parties across the nation today and feel so very proud of every American who stood up for our rights; liberty, freedom from the opressive burden of heavy taxation and a change in congress that favors fairness for all Americans. They, as civil servants recieve their salaries from us so they should be working for us!
I’m hoping the tea parties continue until there is a positive change. We need a fair tax.
I loved every minute of it !!!!!!! We need to have more support for America. Let us not lose sight of what this was for. It was to band together as American’s for the future of America ! We can raise our voice as one and be heard. We should not stop at just one. We have to keep them thinking of Americans in Washington. Obama think of this In your wallet the money says (In God We Trust) !!!! Thanks For reading this America!!!!!!!!
You did a GREAT job organizing the event in Santa Ana today. Congratulations, a job well done. Enjoyed being a part of the Patriotic crowd today.
Over 500 people attended the Cody, WY tea party in the middle of a SNOW STORM! This from a town of 8,500 people! Today I am proud to be an American, Wyomingite, and a Codyite! Well done Cody… WELL DONE!
Blow me you bunch of inbred Rightwing smegma suckers!! Screw your plutocracy!!! I AM a Western European style “Social Democrat” and damn proud of it!! Your plutocratic state is coming to an END! -M
Reflecting on the Colorado Springs TEA Party. Although some partisan celebrities showed up to spew their rhetoric, what impressed me was democrats, republicans, independents, students, elderly, business owners, workers, families, some with babies, policemen, homeless, drug-users - ALL OF US were gathered because we see a problem - our COUNTRY is in jeopardy.
Number 1 - the horrific debt being forced upon we taxpayers without our vote… and more importantly, our elected representatives VOTING IN FAVOR OF THE LARGEST SPENDING BILL EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES… THAT THEY HAVEN’T EVEN READ! It is hard for most of us to get our heads around just what 4 TRILLION dollars means… well if it were expressed as time… 4,000,000,000,000 seconds represents 126,839 years! WAKE UP AMERICA!
Number 2 - everyone is OUTRAGED because of what we see happening in our Great Country. a) incompetent, corrupt, and unpunished Government Officials, b) UNPUNISHED greed/crime on WALL STREET. c) unpunished deceptive, usurious, practices throughout our BANKING INDUSTRY, d) Lazy, incompetent and corrupt REGULATORS, e) a FEDERAL RESERVE who manipulates our money with impunity, f) for years, an activist SUPREME COURT that is usurping our rights guaranteed by the CONSTITUTION, g) we TAX productivity when we should be TAXING consumption. h) INFLATION is ruining our chance for LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS, and finally… i) leaders of our GOVERNMENT are meeting with wealthy domestic and foreign leaders for the expressed purpose of using the world economic crises to move us toward a NEW WORLD ORDER … WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE and without transparency of sunshine laws.
The state of our economy and the moral breakdown of the country was caused by our politicians - democrats and republicans alike… They have LOST OUR TRUST.
This is the TEA Party phenomenon… and the message that should be ringing through to Congress, Wall Street, Unions, the White House and traditional media!
IT’S ABOUT TIME AMERICA, REAL AMERICA STOOD UP ABD WAS COUNTED.
Odumbo our inept so called president has spent more in his first 100 days in office than George W Bush spent in 8 years….latest figure is around 11 Trillion
We are a debtor nation….where are these Trillions coming from??
How can this man make 2.7 reported income and just a few years ago he was making such a small amount and he has never worked a day in his life
We need to keep the tea parties going and throw all the corrput congressional leaders out
Recall and impeach the president and all his on the take corrupt cabinet
The next step is the start a movement to repeal the 16 th amendment. That amendment repealed Article 1 section 9, clause 4 of the Constitution, which bars the current income tax system. Income taxes are allowed under that now repealed clause of the Constitution:
“There appears to be no dispute about the plain requirements of the Constitution that direct taxes must be apportioned and that indirect taxes must be uniform.”
By eliminating the apportionment and uniformity requirements, the Federal Government was give the unlimited and unrestrained ability to tax people. The limits on the power to tax that were so wisely placed in the Constitution, were designed to constrain abusive taxing powers.
A repeal of the 16 th amendment will not eliminate the power to levy Federal income taxes, but mere impose the apportionment and uniformity requirement. Satisfying those requirements are politically unpalatable . That would necessarily result in a excise tax as a substitute, probably a consumption tax such as a national sale tax. Without an income tax, a national sales tax would be far better. People could largely control their taxes by deciding how they spend their money. It would also fuel capital formation at a rate not seen in 125 years.
I say we start here and now the movement to repeal the 16 th amendment.
right on matt, we are becoming a country of handouts and immigrants who just love it. they could csre less about a constitution, they are easy pikinsfor the liberals i mean communists, look at barrys advisers emmnanuel and axexl rod, read thier wikipedias and pass it on
For two hours April 15th citizens showed up for the Pagosa Springs tea party. It was organized late, and spread mostly word-of-mouth. In and out signing a petition, people with like minds showed they were tired of being swept away with debt they didn’t ask for. One couple from Alabama on vacation stopped in to show support. I would say probably 200 showed, although no count yet. It’s time to stop this foolishness!
After attending a “Tea Party” in The Woodlands, Texas, I was encouraged by so many of my countrymen who stood up to be counted.
In my opinion, this was probably the most significant news story since 9/11 and yet I was saddened by all of the news media (except FOX) who chose to either ignore the “Tea Parties” or dismiss them as nothing more than a gathering of disgruntled losers or right wing extremists. Truly, the media has Obamania.
The momentum began yesterday needs to continue or the imbeciles in Washington D.C. will continue to lead us down the path to hell (socialism, communism).
What’s next? I will be there.
I think we should have another Tea Party and invite alot of Veterans in Uniform to participate. But I think we should get a permit to hold it in front of Home Land Security Office so they won’t have to go very far to investigate us.
Keep up the momentum on this and we can be the ones that bring about THE CHANGE.

I noticed a couple of Neo-con posts on here. It must be noted that these Tea Parties are a reaction to the liberal tendencies of Neo-cons. The Republican party has lost many members including myself because of the wishy-washy cowtowing to the left behavior of the neo-cons. I was excited to see the Tea Party turnout and cautiously optimistic. If people who are part of the problem in this country take up the banner it will only subjugate the effort. Beware the neo-con saboteur. They laid the groundwork for facism and Obama will build upon that foundation.
I went to the Tea Party rally in Boston, MA. I was amazed at the turnout in what is believed to be an Obama state. The most moving moment was near the end of the day when the entire crowd sang the National Anthem. I had chills and was almost brought to tears.
A lot of folks are asking “what next”? after attending three TEA PARTIES yesterday I came home to check on the media coverage, low and behold little coverage and what was coverd was not positive even at 11;30 last night on the Colbert Report he stated that he hoped that the people there at the tea party would face the same fate as the original missionaries at the Alamo which we all know that they were killed, and they call us ‘radicals” hmmmm. So whats next lets whatch the Main stream media and post right here as “reply” all those companies that pay (advertise) for this hate and missuse of the media by not purchasing their products and emailing these companies with your dissatisfaction. How dare they call us “idiots” or “stupid”? Lets show them how stupid we are with our little money that we have left.
THIS CANNOT END! Our President blantly shrugged off the Tea Parties with a “I was not briefed on these” is a LIE. There is a dark force in the White House! Look at the term CZAR being used in place of Secretary, a throwback to ancient Russia. I am not going to get into all the conspiracies but now more than ever the Liberals are trying to force their agendas down our throats! Stand up for God if you do believe..PERIOD! Stop being Wishy-Washy! The liberals think they have the majority now but I know that cannot be true. I know we have conservative Black Americans that disprove of what is happening. Stand up with us! Unite with Us!! We need the greates tea party to be at the White House and in front of Congress so that they will SEE us and cannot ignore us! Our Emperor is Wearing No Clothes! This must End, and it began yesterday..KEEP IT UP!!
Why don’t we call the new party the ‘American Tea’ party.
Lets get more of these protests going! One can start, thousands will follow!
Who ever organized all of this, thank you, but lets keep it going!!!!
No Taxation with Misrepresentation!
My husband and I went to the tea party in Phoenix Arizona. This party has inspired us and will continue to fight Washington for our freedom. My grandchildren have been pawned for the rest of their lives. It is sad that their lives will not be as fruitful as ours.
WHEN IS THE NEXT TEA PARTY? We can make them BIGGER!!!
Their taking America away from Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turning us into a European Union.
Connect the dots. Look at all the Policy Changes occurring and all the Appointee’s that hold high to mid level positions in the Administration.
Slowly, the Administration and Congress are changing our Constitution.
We have to take a stand, form a viable group and protest in a Civil Manner as we did on April 15, 2009.
The Pres is a cunning speaker and a like able Guy to many! We have to let him know that we as Americans are not going to stand for changes he wants to implement I outlined above.
My husband & I attended the Indpls Tea Party. We were impressed and are now ready to help unelect these people that don’t listen to us and will do what we can. The crowd was definitely bigger than the media gave us credit for and was one of the most polite people. You should be proud. All signs were appropriate and easy to read. I am definitely interested in the July 4th March on D.C. If you will e-mail me I will be happy to post my phone number. We are from Westfield,
I am writing today first to congratulate all of the many organizers who worked countless hours to make the tax day tea party a huge success. My husband and I were not expecting much of a turnout at our Louisville, KY tea party, but thought we would go to give our support. Needless to say we were extremely happy to see so many people who have the same beliefs.
I was however not the least bit surprised to see most of the media downplay and quickly dismiss what happened on April 15th.
This brings me to the second part of this letter, I believe that July 4th is too long of a wait for the next party, and the location of Washington D.C. will cause so many supporters to be unable to attend (money and distance) leaving us with a situation of fewer people being present.
I can however offer a suggestion. Have another round of parties at all of the state capitals. We gathered locally, move on to the state capitals and then march on Washington. Memorial Day weekend would be the perfect time for this as we are remembering all of our heroes who fought and died to keep us free, and protect our country from tyranny. I can think of no better way to honor our fallen than to stand up ourselves. We should not do this on Memorial Day itself, (reserved for our heroes) but on that Saturday as more of the people who are unhappy with having their hard earned money being stolen thru the tax system, will be able to attend.
The momentum is on our side now, we need to take advantage of it and not allow time to let it die.
From Michelle Malkin’s website:
There’s a famous quotation often attributed to Gandhi that goes like this: “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.” After “then they ridicule you” I would add: “Then they smear you.”
I agree…the government needs to have their boat ROCKED, not lapped at! Provided we can get the permits by then (Memorial Day)…….
Hi! My stepson and I also attended the Indy Tea Party. We are from Elwood, about 20 miles North of Anderson, South of Marion, West of Muncie. I also would be interested in a July 4th Tea Party on Washington D.C.. Like Mr. Thomas Paine said…”completley surround the Capitol building and Washington D.C. and bring it to a standstill!”. If all the people that attended all the Tea Parties across the country converged on Washington at the same time on the same day, July 4th, we would shut down the city. No way in or out except by helicopter.And I believe more will join us as this movement continues to grow. being a holiday, more would show up. Would the news media be able to continue to ignore or mock us? They can only hide the truth for so long, and their time is about up!
Jeneane Garofalo? forget her. She just makes me miss Sandra Bernhardt. I’m not sure how it works but I think these little ankle biters are just a kind of barometer. The more twisted and pissy they become, the better the normal people are doing. by the way, Has anyone suggested a total boycott of CNN by tea party America? I am for it. I won’t be missing anything since I don’t watch them anyway. Let’s do it, I mean show OUR teeth. joy@aiducate.com
Whoa dudes, did a light bulb just come on. We have here a great deal of power here. CNN has sponsors. Pressure can be applied by threatening the CNN pocket book through sponsors. I for one do not intend to put up with being denegrated so crudely as CNN has done And I intend to do something about it. Anyone else on board? this is how movements really get started. The almighty dollar roars the loudest. Take back America by putting pressure on the propaganda wing of the left. What the hay. joy@aiducate.com
I am hoping there will be other Tea Parties. I would like to go to one when there is. Please contact me if there are.
