That’s what the permit is for - apparently.

Have you pinged the CT list?

No, sorry, it just irks me that jack-@$$es in public office think they can infringe upon We The People's RIGHT to free speech and peaceable assembly.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Our taxes, our capital, our steps. We can stay as long as we want.

I’m puzzled about who is heading up the coordination for these events.

Is it taxdayteaparty.com

... or is it teapartyday.com ?

Are these two organizations/cooperatives working together, or is one trying to capitalize on the success of the other, or did they both come up with the idea separately but at the same time?

Acorn is sending goons to tea parties across the country to disrupt them and get people to sign phony petitions.

Spread my work ethic not my wealth

Free markets, not free loaders

We the People…are now owned by the Chinese.

Atlas will shrug

Stimulate business, not government

Honk if I’m paying your mortgage

You can’t borrow prosperity

Home ownership is not an entitlement

I’ll pay for my house, you pay for yours

Party like it’s 1773

Proud American capitalist

Repeal the pork or your bacon is cooked

Your mortgage is not my problem

No taxation without deliberation

Give me liberty or give me debt!

You can’t spend your way out of debt

Wake up America, stop the insanity!

R.I.P. Free market economy

Save trees, stop printing money

Don’t tread on me (Gadsden flag or First Navy Jack)

I want your money (recruiting picture of Uncle Sam)

Wall Street got a bailout and all I got was the bill

TARP = $750 Billion

Stimulus = $870 Billion

2009 Deficit = $1.75 Trillion

U.S. Dollar = WORTHLESS!!

Just Say No (word “Socialism” with circle and slash)

Liberty is all the stimulus we need

To Every American Politicians Are Responsible To You

Quotes:

“Man is not free unless the government is limited.” Ronald Reagan

“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” Vladmir Lenin
“Debt, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slavedriver.” Ambrose Bierce

“It takes as much imagination to create debt as to create income.” Leonard Orr

“Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people.” Wendell Phillips

Just back from the Hartford TEA party.

Big crowd. I’m not good at estimation, but I’d put it at 4000 people. I left at 12:45 and more people were coming than going. Lot of good signs.

No trouble makers, but I did see one guy with an Obama shirt and there was a guy up front with a sign saying that Democrats are not Socialists. Mostly elderly people up in the front of the crowd, but many younger people in the back. Channels 8 and 61 covering the event.

Lot of pissed off people at the rally. Hard to believe its in the middle of liberal New England. People want Dodd out of office.
