    May God Bless America! How great is this? A peaceful grass roots tax revolt!! My travels now have me in the Tampa area for April 15th. I’ll have to finish my morning appointment early and hit the streets with my fellow patriots.

    Freedom and Liberty for All!

    I’ll definitely be printing out a few for our Van Nuys, CA protest.

    Tucson in the morning, Phoenix in the PM

    Join Outraged Arizonans protesting more taxes!

    T – axed
    E – nough
    A – lready

    And you thought a TEA party was for sipping tea and nibbling cookies? Not this one!

    It’s organized by the AZ Federation of Taxpayers
    http://www.americansforprosperity.org/031809-save-date-april-15th-tax-day-tea-party

    Say “No” to any and all tax increases (”temporary” or otherwise). Did you know that payroll withholding taxes of today began during World War II as a “temporary” measure for financing the war that ended 64 years ago?
    Not only are we still forced into payroll withholding, but we’re penalized if we don’t have 80% of our tax bill withheld! That means we’re forced to loan the government our money (interest-free) for up to 15 months each and every year!

    ******************************************
    What: Phoenix Tax Day TEA Party
    When: Wed., April 15, 2009 5:30 – 7:00 pm

    Where: Arizona State Capitol, Senate Lawn

    Who: The AZ chapter of American for Prosperity, allied pro-taxpayer organizations, hundreds (thousands?) of taxpayer activists from around the state, Arizona’s best legislators, and several pro-taxpayer media personalities. For more details, contact infoAZ@afphq.org.

    Why: We need to protest (and stop!) the tax increases proposed by big-spending politicians at the federal, state, and local levels.

    How: RSVP to infoAZ@afphq.org saying “I’ll be at the State Capital in Phoenix.” Bring friends, family, and co-workers. And bring signs with big letters for the TV cameras! We will have stations set up where you can put tea bags into envelopes and mail them to President Obama and to your Congress members.

    As usual, the mainstream news has completely ignored citizens, but bureaucrats and politicians are very nervous. Read how Florida’s TEA parties have been so effective that bureaucrats have begun denying “permits to assemble” on one or another pretext:

    While I support the efforts of these protests, I must ask, if and when these do NOTHING to change our government’s unconstitutional power grab, then what?

    I’m sorry to be pessimistic, but I know I have been writing my Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, and all I get is the standard canned response. She voted for the GIVE Act and the spendulus. Congress and the antichrist in the White House don’t care about these protests. So, protest away, but is there a plan B when they do whatever they want anyway? Can we really afford to just sit and let them get away with it until the 2010 midterms? If it’s this bad in two months, just imagine after two years.

    Secession?

    Revolution?

    Here people talk about what a bold stand they are taking by attending a Tea Party. How about taking a bold stance by removing your children from state-run education? How about turning off the television, or *gasp* throwing the thing out, for a change? Like most Christians who think they are bold for wearing a tshirt with some lyrics on it, most “conservatives” don’t have the slightest clue of what we’re up against nor how to combat it.

    My concern now is that with all of the celebrities getting involved that this will no longer be perceived as a grassroots common man movement. There are some places that will have speakers or VIP’s that should be subject of the Tea Party participants ire, not adulation.
    These parties need to stay politics neutral as much as possible and simply be an expression of Americans anger at the out of touch inside the Beltway crowd who spend our hard earned dollars willie nillie.

    The awareness of the situation is a good thing but more than Tea Parties may be required for a remedy to this tyranny.

    I reckon that by June things will really get ugly. As more businesses lay off employees and Team Obama continues to show ineptitude, the economy will be worse and America will get a taste of severe regret for electing a guy to office that is still campaigning and not governing worth a damn.

    Patience only goes so far & tolerance has limits.

    I am going to take a non-payed day off of work that day. That means that the Government will collect no taxes from me that day. Would be nice if we could organize a day for everyone who has the means to do it. If millions rebelled by refusing to get paid that day it would get the Government’s attention.

I hope thousands of Maryland tax payers show up. The governor (boy king), Martin O’Malley and his cronies are among the worst in the nation on taxes and protection of criminals and illegals (one and the same).

    Since no one wants to talk about Obama’s almost certain, IMO, lack of being legally quailified to be President, does anyone care to speculate on why his college papers, admissions papers, grades, thesis, and pretty much everything that had to do with those years, in addition to his actual birth certificate……..are off-limits and kept hidden?

    We wouldn’t need tea parties, at least not for Obama, if he had to meet the legal requirements to be President.

    I have been trying to put some things in perspective and, quite frankly, some are painfully obvious. It is putting the whole situation of today in some kind of order and understanding. I have come to a conclusion that our, so called, elected officials think we the people have too many freedoms. There was an old phrase that said people, in general, just want to be led. How this mindset became the order of the day with the Federal Government is beyond me but it has been slow and insidious. One incremental move at a time our freedoms are being taken away, our way of life is being marginalized and our social structure broken apart under the guise of progress. What I do know is this, free thinkers are and will be a dangerous enemy to those that are willfully misusing the peoples trust to further their social and economic agendas. The more the Tea Party movement grows, the more things will start to come to a head. Then we will find out who stands where and for what.

    True grassroots means that we can’t allow organizations to take over this movement. Can they help? Yes. Can they take credit for it? No. Is there a problem having elected officials at your tea party? No. What a great opportunity for them to see how outraged we are at what is occurring in Washington, our state capitols, and our city halls! But most importantly, you know your community best. Let’s remember the current problem we have in government is too much central control. Let’s keep the power of this movement in local hands.
