Watch out, they're back. On Sunday the latest in Tea Party protests will hit Los Angeles as part of another bus tour across the country. The traveling two-plus week event, which will be in its first day, promises to "highlight some of the worst offenders in Congress who have voted for higher spending, higher taxes, and government intervention in the lives of American families and businesses," according to its website. Continued: "Let’s stand up and stop the bailouts, cap and trade, out-of-control spending, government-run healthcare, and higher taxes! We’re back and determined to take our country back!"
This is the second tour, aptly subheaded as the "Countdown to Judgment Day," which is in reference to the one-year countdown to the 2010 elections.
If you want to attend, counter protest, check out a goofy scene, take it seriously or whatever you want, it's in Griffith Park on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. And it doesn't look like organizers are expecting that big of crowd. The rally's specific location is on Pad D in the Crystal Springs Area.

ZOMG! This weekend! Griffith Park only a few blocks away!

Good news bump

Coming to my city as well ! Woot !

BUMP for L.A. and S.D. FReepers!!

Tuna Park eh? Maybe I’ll take the trolley up and check it out.

I'm certainly supportive of this project, but I have to comment that the two signs those people are holding up are in conflict with each other. One says "Seniors, vote out Democrats in 2010 or they will deny us care", while the other says "Stop the march to socialism." Well it's precisely because seniors have become dependent on socialist programs like Medicare that the Democrats now have the power to deny care to seniors. If the seniors had been able to save more of their income during their working lives then they could afford their own health insurance and wouldn't be dependent on the government and vulnerable to budget cutbacks.

What the first sign should really say is: "Vote out Democrats in 2010 and cut taxes so we can afford our own health insurance plans." This is a major problem with Republican strategy now--it's declined into attacking the Democrats when they suggest cutting entitlement spending, when the GOP should be FOR cutting entitlement spending and taxes. We've lost the Kemp/Roth philosophy of lower taxes, lower spending, and limited government. GOP leaders needs to move away from the quick political win from supporting entitlement spending and get back to our basic philosophy of lower taxes and spending and a smaller, less intrusive, less costly federal government.

Yup.

Once you install an addictive program like Social Security, Aid to Students (whatever it’s called) Medicare - - - you can’t get rid of it. That’s why it’s imperative this Socialized Medicine movement be stopped dead in its tracks.

If it gets installed, it will paralyze this country. And you won’t get rid of it.

How about inviting Rush to Orlando?

Good points

Of course this isn't Republican strategy expressed in the signs at the 9-12 rally where those sign were seen, nor is it Rep strategy at and with the tea parties.

It's oridnaly citizens making signs from their hearts and coming out in millions to express what they feel are the issues to them.

Plus, that little blurb was posted by those opposed to the tea party effort so I'm surprised they didn't use signs that would make tea party goers look like kooks and nuts.

Thanks for your input!

I can’t believe we’re just like 2 days away from this all starting up again. Can’t wait to ride aboard Tea Party Express II.

BUMPIN’ that

I’m ready to hit the road!

Any San Diego FREEpers going to the SUnday Tea Party Express? Would be fun to meet each other . . .

I put this thread announcement up on the Calif FR page

You can post there and perhaps get some response from others that are going to attend

Bumping: L.A. FReepers, are you going? On Rush’s show today I actually heard a Tea Party commercial, asking everyone to show in Griffith Park on Sunday.

Put a shout out to California FR people on the CA FR page

I posted a link to this thread there.

Maybe more people will get informed

C U there!

Still no interest in this Tea Party in Griffith Park from FReepers? Are you kidding me? Are you all out signing your petitions to save Roman Polanski, and hoping for that public option for your health care?? Where are the SoCal FReepers on this??

They’ve been advertising on KFI all day today for this. They spent MONEY on those ads — let’s see a BIG turnout, one the media cannot (or should not?) ignore!!!!

Have a great trip!
