9/12 Taxpayer March on Washington
Dear Mirkwood,
Did you hear the "news?" According to mainstream reports, Glenn Beck's rally attracted a whopping "couple thousand" to Washington, DC.
You and I both know that hundreds of thousands showed up in DC this weekend, and that even more marched on 9/12 last year. The good news is, the American people are wising up, too. They aren't buying the mainstream media's downplayed story, not when there is obvious photographic evidence discrediting them . . . and a political agenda motivating them.
So we're marching on 9/12 again.
Help us flood the streets of DC with activists and tear down the media's distortions, once and for all. And most importantly, hammer home the powerful political message we delivered last year.
The second annual 9/12 Taxpayer March On Washington is less than 60 days out from November 2nd. The march will be a clarion call for limited government in the lead-up to what is sure to be a historic realignment on Election Day.
Spread the word about 9/12 in your community with our fliers and join the Tea Party HQ to coordinate with dedicated activists like you!
Thank you for all your hard work. This movement would be impossible without thousands of activists who care deeply about the principles of lower taxes, less government and more freedom.
If you can't make it, please consider a donation for the people who will be there on your behalf.
I will be there! From the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, I will be there...
FreedomWorks?
thanks, but no thanks.
Why not?
GET AS FAR FROM DICK ARMEY AND HIS PHONEY ‘FREEDOM WORKS’ AS POSSIBLE!!!
He’s in this for the money...he is the opposite of anything the tea party stands for and tried to hijack the movement for his selfish/globalist means.
HE IS ALL for AMNESTY!
Don’t fall for this! Glenn Beck better do his homework and distance himself from Dick Armey!
Beware: Rinos in Conservative clothing...DICK ARMEY

Time to listen up, Tea Party people!!! We’ve warned you before that political opportunists will hi- jack your movement for their causes! And Dick Armey did just that!
“In a telephone interview with The Arizona Republic, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, FreedomWorks’ chairman, delivered a surprisingly harsh assessment of Hayworth, with whom he served on Capitol Hill:
” It’s hard for us to believe that J.D. Hayworth could mount a credible challenge to John McCain. Obviously, we’ll watch the race. But J.D. had a fairly short, undistinguished congressional career with virtually no initiative on his part. I just don’t see any reason why we should be concerned about that race.”
So...what is this really all about??
AMNESTY, that’s what.
Armey is one of the squatter support squad of the GOP. He wants to do away with enforcement. He wants amnesty. That’s why he won’t support Hayworth.
In fact, Armey wants to increase immigration!
The McCain camp likes to throw the non issue Abramoff accusation at J.D. of which he was totally cleared, but one of Armey’s top advisers, Horace Cooper, actually got indicted for taking Abramoff bribes. OH! The irony!

thanks AuntB....excellent assessment. We’ve been shouting about Freedom Works/Dick Armey from the get go....there needs to be a complete disconnect of his organization from the Tea Party movement! (although, to my great disappointment, I suspect that illegal immigration/amnesty is NOT a Tea Party priority when it comes to their ‘endorsements’!)
Thanks for the warning. He sounds OK when I hear him on the radio/TV, but I must admit that I don’t know much about him.
