We went to the Baton Rouge Tea Party! It was a great event!
There were close to 800 Tea Parties across the nation!!
Thousands of people who are FED up and have had ENOUGH!
We are no longer the SILENT majority!
If you are not fed up... you are not paying attention!
PRINT OUT A SIGN ON CARDSTOCK! Here are some suggestions I have found by looking at other tea party sites: 1. Don't tax me bro. 2. Obama lied the economy died. 3. Government by the people is now government vs. the people. 4. Stimulus, the audacity of dopes. 5. I owe WHAT??? 6. (For children) Sorry daddy, I don't have 1 trillion dollars to loan you. 7. Honk if you are paying my mortgage. 8. Vote you out of office? Yes we can. 9. You cant spend your way out of debt. 10. Don't tread on me flag. 11. Who is John Galt? 12. (For children) Obama, stop stealing from my piggy bank. 13. Restore the republic. 14. Repeal the pork or retire. 15. Next time read the bill. 16. Party like it's 1773. 17. Legalize capitalism. 18. Socialism is not an American value. 19. (For college students) Full time student, two part time jobs, paying my own way. 20. (For children) When I grow up I want to be free. 21. Shrugging. 22. "I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask him to live for mine." John Galt. Dear Congress, What part of We the People do you not understand? CONGRESS, YOU'RE FIRED! MEDIA, DO YOUR JOB! DON'T MESS WITH OUR CONSTITUTION "1976 - Declaration of Independence; 2009 Declaration of Dependance" Washington - GET OFF MY BACK AND OUT OF MY POCKET!

On the day you pay your taxes, Wednesday, April 15, join others across the country and in your hometown who will be participating in TAX Day TEA party rallies in front of their city halls. The TAX Day TEA party rally will begin at 12 noon. See this video - the momentum is growing!
Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:
If so, participate in the TAX Day TEA party rally, the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party.
Bring your cell phone and call Congress and the president while attending the TAX Day TEA party rally (Representative and Senators, 202-224-3121; President, 202-456-1414). Tell Every American about this effort by forwarding this invitation to your friends. Together we can make a difference.
the insanity coming out of D.C. refuses to cease. We HAVE to put an end to it. We HAVE to be heard!!!!!!
You MUST call your Senators about the Cap & Trade bill that is in Congress right now. The ramifications of this bill on Americans and Businesses will overwhelmingly tax the hell out of us in more ways than one:
1. Our electric bills will rise to costs between $700 - $3,100 per year.
2. Businesses will see an even bigger rise in their electric bills.
3. When businesses see a bigger electric bill that cost will be added into the price of all consumer goods that we purchase. EVERYTHING WE BUY will be up to twice as expensive.
4. This could potentially cause job losses as businesses will have to cut somewhere and they won't be able to cut these costs – think about factories, machine shops, the very automakers that we now own.
5. College tuition will go up even more because their electric bills will double also.
6. Public schools will have to pay more in electricity, which means higher taxes at a state level.
7. Cable companies will have to pay more – and we will pay the costs.
8. Grocery stores will be paying more in electricity which means WE will be paying even more for food.
9. Rents will go up if electricity is included. People are already having a hard times paying their rent – what will happen when their rent is increased even more?
10. Phone companies, restaurants, the Post Office, local government, pet stores, convenience stores, museums, ballparks… it affects EVERY SINGLE PERSON AND BUSINESS IN THIS COUNTRY!
The above doesn't even include the increase in gas prices which will add ANOTHER whammy of taxes that will be paid directly by consumers and then again indirectly by businesses passing on the costs to consumer goods.
WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY TRYING TO SAVE THE 'ATMOSPHERE'. No other countries are on board with this – how much of the atmosphere are WE alone really going to save????
Americans are being punished for an ideology that has not yet been proven. We are already in dire straights as a country – millions of people losing their jobs, not being able to pay their mortgages, their rent, provide food for their families and Obama wants to add THIS TAX BURDEN TO US???
This affects ALL AMERICANS, not just tax payers. The single Mom who can barely make ends meet for her family. The college kids who are already over stretched with student loans. The middle class family of four whose parents work hard and are trying to save for their kids' college tuition. The poor welfare mother who hit hard times and just needs temporary help will never be able to climb her way off of the welfare roles.
Any of you who have Senators who are DEMOCRATS need to call, call, fax, email, write over and over again to GET THE POINT ACROSS THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!! No Republicans are going to vote for this insanity and some Democrats seem to have found a brain cell or two and are realizing voting for this would jeopardize their re-election and yeah maybe some of them actually care about their constituents. THESE are the ones that need to be targeted.
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
FOREIGN IMPORTERS will not be affected by this. So THEIR prices will remain lower. Businesses in this country will be put OUT of business because they will NOT be able to compete. They are already struggling in this country and fleeing. This will force MORE businesses to flee.. more jobs to be lost... the economy will delve further into the nether regions!!!!!!

Asked Sunday on CNN if he thinks President Obama "has made Americans less safe," former Vice President Dick Cheney said: "I do."
Looking slimmer and relaxed, Cheney told John King on "State of the Union" that Bush administration policies on detention and interrogation of suspected terrorists – some of which were immediately modified by Obama — "were absolutely essential" to preventing another 9/11-style attack.
"I think that's a great success story. It was done legally. It was done in accordance with our constitutional practices and principles," the former vice president said. "President Obama campaigned against it all across the country. And now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack.
Cheney said the Bush administration "made a decision after 9/11 that I think was crucial: We said, 'This is a war. It's not a law-enforcement problem.'"
"When you go back to the law enforcement mode, which I sense is what they're doing – closing Guantanamo and so forth – that they are very much giving up that center of attention and focus that's required, and that concept of a military threat that's essential if you're going to successfully defend the nation against further attacks," he continued.
The former vice president, who now has a BlackBerry, said he plans to spend "the bulk" of his time in the next few months working on a book.
Cheney said he has talked with President Bush three times in recent weeks, and has expressed displeasure that his aide Scooter Libby – whose sentence on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice was commuted — was nevertheless left "sort of hanging in the wind" without a full pardon.
"I think he's an innocent man who deserves a pardon," Cheney said.
The former vice president noted that radio host Rush Limbaugh has challenged Obama to a debate.
"Hell, I'd pay to see that," Cheney said. "I think Rush is a good man and serves a very important purpose."
As you probably know, the 2009 Omnibus spending bill, which consists of over 8,500 pork projects, recently passed the House and is on its way to the Senate. The bill will cost 410 billion dollars ($410,000,000,000) of taxpayers’ money and includes items such as the following:
-$1,117,000 for grasshopper and Mormon cricket activities in Utah.
-$472,000 for beaver management and control in Mississippi.
-$2,000,000 for the promotion of astronomy in Hawaii.
-$1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa.
-$6.6 million for termite research in New Orleans.
-$1.7 million for a “honey bee factory” in Texas.
-$333,333 for a sidewalk in Texas.
-$951,500 for a “sustainable Las Vegas.”
And there are over 8,000 more pork projects like these.
Your job is easy. Call your senators ASAP and tell them to vote no on this abominable waste of taxpayer money. Ultimately, yes, the bill will pass. Politics is about numbers and, unfortunately, right now we don’t have them. We’re going to lose a lot of battles in these early days. If we can ever kill a piece of legislation, great, but right now that’s not what’s important. What’s important now is making sure that the Democrats OWN every bit of egregious legislation that works its way through the lower intestine of congress.
