There's a storm abrewin'. What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet?
Washington has forgotten they work for us. We don't work for them. Throwing good money
after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a
plan.
I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on
their taxes. I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my
dollar. I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that, knowingly, bought
more house than they could afford. I am sick of being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay
MORE taxes.
I, like all of you, am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes. I live on a budget and I don't ask
someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make. I have emailed my
congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written
without reading it first. No one listened. They voted for it, pork and all.
O.K. folks, here it is. You may think you are just one voice and what you think won't make a
difference. Well, yes it will and YES, WE CAN!! If you are disgusted and angry with the way
Washington is handling our taxes. If you are fearful of the fallout from the reckless spending of
BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need to
become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB
AND HOME IN AMERICA.
There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President and his cabinet LISTEN to
us, the American Citizens. What is being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the
economic free fall.
So, here's the plan:
On April 1, 2009, all Americans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washington , D.C.
You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire. Just a
TEABAG.
Many cities are organizing protests. If you simply search, "New American Tea Party", several
sites will come up. If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard with a
TEABAG. Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of others that feel the
same way.
Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in
the stock market speaks volumes.
This was not my idea. I visited the sites of the 'New American Tea Party' and an online survey
showed over 90% of thousands said they would send the teabag on April 1.
Why April 1?? We want them to reach Washington by April 15.
Will you do it? I will...
Send it to:
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington , D.C. 20500 .
Forward this to everyone in your address book. Visit the website below for more information
about the 'New American Tea Party'. I would encourage everyone to go ahead and get the
envelope ready to mail, then just drop it in the mail April 1. Can't guarantee what the postage
will be by then, it is going up as we speak, but have your envelope ready. What will this cost
you? A little time and a 40 something cent stamp.
What could you receive in benefits? Maybe, just maybe, our elected officials will start to listen
to the people. Take out the Pork. Tell us how the money is being spent. We want
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Remember, the money will be spent over the next
4-5 years. It is not too late.

Tea Party - 4/1/09
Official Site: New American Tea Party
Official Site: New American Tea Party
Here are some of the pictures that I got at this event.
Perhaps one of the most humorous things that I heard there was a liberal standing on the outskirts commenting
loudly, apparently to himself, that the only reason people were there that day was to protest "a black guy being in
office"!
As I was overhearing his comments, there was an African American gentleman standing a few feet to my left. He was
there in support of the TEA Party movement as evidenced by him and I applauding together for the great guest
speakers of the day.
Anyway, you know the drill - click on the thumbnails below for larger images. They're high res, though, and may load a
little slowly.
