   I kept asking myself why all the haste to get a stimulus package. Today, the British PM solved the problem when he stated, the world needs a stimulus package.
   Answer: The politicians are running scared. They have sunk the economy into a pit and do not have any idea how to bail it out. They in a effort to save their own selves, feel they must do something. So we, the taxed, get a worthless stimulus package from a bunch of washed out has beens.

    I’ve heard Rush mention “the Revolution” and these protests quite a bit. So, at least ten million or so people are hearing about it. Not a bad start!

    The Republican Party should be helping to organize a Tea Party at the local offices of every Senator or Congressman who voted for the “Swindulus” plan.

    The GOP should already have networks and e-mail lists in place in every congressional district.

    It is time to e-mail or call the National, State and Local GOP leaders to find out what they are doing help with the Tea Parties.

    Another thought on taking a pet with you to one of these rallys, I will bet that not only is the site of the rally not a disaster area after the rally with trash scattered everywhere for someone else to clean up, but any “leavings” by the pets is also cleaned up.

    Another striking difference between a conservative and lib rally.

    Protesting is gonna increase everywhere – and dont be surprised when it hits Kalifornia!

    Meantime, we got turbo-tax-tim ‘leaning’ on the TARP infested banks with ‘demands’ for financing a 40 billion dollar auto-bailout!

    This is EXACTLY why PEOPLE are AGAINST NATIONALIZING the banks!

    A NATIONALIZED BANK IS NOTHING BUT A PIT OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION!

    PERIOD!!

    Of course, corruption like this will lead to more protests!

    In fact, Obama spending policies are leading the Chineese to protest as well! Thats why Obama is ‘circling the I care about the budget’ wagons today!

    Actually, I’d suggest the dog would make a better representative. No more voting for horrible bills. Much cheaper than a Congressional paycheck and staff. And, man’s best friend, instead of a parasite on taxpayers.

    Did anyone notice Obama said that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his FIRST term? Campaigning already, eh, Obama? The seat in the Oval Office isn’t even warm yet. I suspect a movement to thwart the 22nd amendment. Wouldn’t you just love to run, like Chavez? Run for life term in 2012? Wouldn’t surprise me, Obama. There are many “useful idiots” out there still.

    For Facebook organizers and attendees:

    To improve your marketing and exposure, what I have done is click on ‘conservative’ under political views on my ‘info’ page (if you don’t have this listed, go ahead and list it now!). This gives me a list, by my ‘local network’ of conservatives in my area. Then I click on ‘send message’ and copy and paste my invite to as many people as I can.

    I haven’t found another way yet to filter a search to target my audience, but this way is working just fine. Just an FYI.

    Just heard the bi-partison lovefest with ‘Bambi at the helm on Fox/Cavuto. Anyone besides me hear the nutcase that noted because of so many-more-poor people that we’d need to address more incentives for them? I was cooking so may have misunderstood. If I heard right, she needs to think about an entire nation that’s going to need a walloping incentive – or better yet, how about we simply cannot afford any more incentives or bailouts. Period. Stop trying to tax and take everything that those of us that work/have worked/ or will work from us. We’d be out of this mess in less than a year if we could count on our wallets being left unpicked. I’m not spending because I don’t trust that in this climate I can part with a dime.

    But, but, but …. I appreciate and applaud these folks for doing what they are doing. But for all their hard work and time, I just see that when the time comes to vote the clowns who pushed this “stimulus” package through out of office, we’ll experience another round of “Murtha Mania” or “Jefferson Apathy.”

    These people will never get what’s coming to them. Yes, Jefferson got voted out FINALLY, but he’s still appealing and the guy who beat him has the “Ministers” in New Orleans calling for his impeachment!!!

    And Murtha is still stinkin’ up the DC area with his rotten pork. He’ll die in office before he gets voted out.

    How many more like these pathetic specimens are in office around the country seemingly immune to getting tossed out like they deserve?

    It just ain’t fair…

    I was at the Overland Park rally. We got tons of honking support from passing traffic – and those that didn’t honk – the ones with the Obama stickers – seemed to get smaller behind the steering wheel. There’s a lot of emotion out there that needs to be turned into energy. I agree with the comments of the media professional insofar as a gifted speaker should be drafted to state forcefully that which outrages us to the cameras. People need to get fired up and angry, and most importantly, to do something!

    I received this email today and I think it has some really good advise.

    A message to all members of OPERATION TEA PARTY 2009

    Excerpt from my contact Christie at Resist who offered great feedback on preparing for Tea Parties:

    “This issue is something everyone should get informed on before we have any Tea Parties. There will be huge opposition once people find out that we are conservatives and anti-Obama’–even though it’s the whole corrupt system (including foreign money) that put him there.

    The signs at the TPs should NOT be about Obama, they should concentrate on NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, WHERE’S THE STIMULUS?, CONGRESS WORKS FOR US, ETC., and this will sway people in the margins who may have voted for the Demos but see that throwing money we don’t have on the problem will only make it worse.

    We have to be as NON-PARTISAN as possible because if we’re gonna win this thing it’s gonna be by uniting Americans not keeping them divided–which the gov’t media complex has a vested interest in.
    Which comes back to comments about how we will depend on the Media to get the word out but they may also help to clue-in the opposition. If they the media and newspapers are notified the day of the events, then the ugliness could be minimized.”-Christie @ Resist

    I will be posting some examples of signs that would be effective and on message at Operation Tea Party in event tools. We also have links and Tea Party calendar on main page to find your local events or post one you have firm info on. Thanks!

    Keep up the good work patriots, send your contacts here and get involved locally!
