MEDIA ADVISORY:
“Conservative Grassroots Organizations Will Mark April 15, 2009 With Nationwide Tax Day Tea Parties”
Building on the success of the Nationwide Chicago Tea Parties held last week in multiple cities around the nation, conservative grassroots organizations and free market activists will once again come together on April 15th to protest out-of-control government spending. Timed to coincide with the date by which Americans must pay their federal income taxes, the Tax Day Tea Party effort will be coordinated by Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter and the DontGo Movement (www.dontgomovement.com), in addition to other center-right activist groups.
Plans are under way for rallies to take place in nine American cities, with more sites to be added in the coming weeks. The goal of these protests is to call attention to the unprecedented wasteful spending by Democrats in Congress and the Obama Administration.
When asked about the need for nationwide rallies based on the Boston Tea Party of 1773, Eric Odom, Chairman of the DontGo Movement, remarked, “Building on the free market ideas of our founding fathers, and embracing the passion they shared to bring them to light, the Nationwide Tea Party Movement is giving voice to tens of thousands of Americans.” Added Stacy Mott, President of Smart Girl Politics, “Average Americans do not support mortgaging away our children’s futures, and the time to speak out against it is now.”

When they come for you and there’s no one left to help...
EXCELLENT!
ARE WE GOING TO MEET ON THE NATIONAL MALL; like was planned yesterday? With big guests & thousands of people?!!
They may not care, but if enough of us gather and ROAR LOUDLY, they will HEAR us. We have to make them hear us.
They don’t care about how we feel, but they care about our votes.
Is there a Tea Party Central somewhere on the web?
WONDERFULLY WRITTEN NATIVE TEXAN!!! DID YOU SEND IT TO PERRY AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES? I AM IN HOUSTON AND WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
Here is the link to do it:

I’ll probably attend the Chicago party. I live in Northfield, and I work in downtown Chicago.
“They don’t care about how we feel, but they care about our votes.”
Not really. As soon as the illegal aliens are given amnesty, they won’t need our votes. And as much as I like the tea party idea, it’s going to take a whole lot more than just tea parties and a day off from work to prevent the “change” that is coming.
You think what you want, Noob. The tea party will go on with or without the likes of you and your negative attitude.
You have no idea how many websites we shut down freeping in the old days. Be a part of the solution, or be a part of the problem. Your choice.
I like the idea of stapling a tea bag to tax returns. I think it would be interesting if we flooded our congressmen with tea bags via the mail in protest. Send them to the white house, our local offices, whatever.
Would you like to keep up with what's going on with the 10th Amendment/States Rights movement? I'll add you to the ping list.
I would advise ^against^ send tea bags. Having a foreign substance in an envelope will set off all kinds of security inspections, including one at your home!
Send the bag wrapper, only.
Sorry to be so late in contacting you...What I wrote is simply a copy of Creighton’s H.C.R. No. 50.
