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?
I’ll be there!!
Hope to meet more FReepers there! Bringing my 3X5 Gadsden Flag,
come up and say hello!

Waiting for maps and parking info.
Acorn is sending goons to tea parties across the country to disrupt them and get people to sign phony petitions.

We do not have ACORN money so will be unable to fund special busing from tax payers
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 Im paying your mortgage
You cant borrow prosperity
Home ownership is not an entitlement
Ill pay for my house, you pay for yours
Party like its 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 cant spend your way out of debt
Wake up America, stop the insanity!
R.I.P. Free market economy
Save trees, stop printing money
Dont 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
Secession is the answer.... Who the heck wants to live with liberal radicals that are now in control becauase of Pravda and state radio..? Thye selected a marxist street agitator flunkie from Chicago...
Just back from the Hartford TEA party.
Big crowd. Im not good at estimation, but Id 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.
