Today I will step away from the Anti-Jihad Movement and attend a Tea Party protest in my city. I have to admit, this is the first protest I have ever been to. I must say, the last two months I have been following the Tea Party movement on Twitter, Facebook and other websites who are organizing this movement. It’s HUGE. There’s over 500 protests planned in over 50 States. From Taxdayteaprty.com they have a google map showing the locations of all the tea parties:
These will be going on all around the country today, and I urge you, if you’re fed up with the radical direction Obama and the Democrats in Congress are taking this country, if you’re fed up with the astonishing amount of spending Washington has committed to spend eventhough they don’t know where the money will come from (Of course it’s our taxes), if you’re fed up with the media discrediting and dismissing anyone who opposes Obama’s agenda, you NEEED to be at one of these parties.
A quote to remember today:
“They sent us here to usher in a new era of responsibility in Washington — to start living within our means again, and being straight with them about where their tax dollars are going, and empowering them with the information they need to hold all of us, their representatives, accountable.”
Here are more links from the media about the Tea Parties today:
While you’re waiting, here are more reflections on what these events mean:
Why the Tax Day Tea Party is important.
Tax Day Becomes Protest Day (Wall Street Journal).
Tax day brings tea party day for protests nationwide. (Kansas City Star).
Tax day and tea parties: The Writing on the Wall.
The Tea Party Movement. (Heritage).
I will be taking pictures and I will report back later today.
