Portland, OR & SW Washington Tea Party
TCOT ^ | 2/25/09 | Keath Huff

Posted on 02/25/2009 3:02:13 PM PST by CyberCowboy777

Portland Tea Party of the National Chicago Tea Party

This event is non-partisan. Progressives are angered by Washington's continued pandering to corporate 'fat-cats' and conservatives are angered by Washington's willingness to prop-up failed enterprise. We have a common purpose -- Washington is NOT listening!

Washington is encouraging BAD behavior. We are already paying to prop-up zombie banks and, this new "Home Affordability Plan" allows bankruptcy judges to revisit the terms of a loan? CNBC's Rick Santelli has it right, In America, a card laid is a card played and contracts must be sacred. Do we really want to teach our children, (whom this plan will inundate with debt) that there are "do over's" in the real world if the mistake is big enough?

Rally to CNBC’s Rick Santelli’s call (http://is.gd/kqOL) for a “Chicago Tea Party” to protest Washington.

This event will be occurring nationwide at exactly the same time. The nationwide site's URL is: http://www.nationwidechicagoteaparty.com/

Bring signs! The theme is: NO public $ 4 private failures!

Here is the agenda as it has evolved so far:

Address @ 9 am

Tea Bag Ceremony (BRING YOUR FAV TEA BAG)

Parade to Waterfront (SIGNS AND YARD IMPLEMENTS -- we're going for the "angry mob" symbolism & nothing says that better than people with yard tools)

Address @ Waterfront

Tea Dumping Ceremony

Closing Address

We are unable to travel to the Valley from the Coast but we are wearing our Mint Tea bags on our Lapels here on the coast throughout the week.

Have you guys thought about the Litter Fines?

Salvation is the Pinger Of the Oregon List.

Just asking about the litter fines as now a days ya just never know what the govt. will do to collect revenue.

I think it is great that it is a non partison event like the Pro Life Marches.

My Prayer intention for a huge turnout in support here in the PNW.

If people in Portland are joining in, it means that Obama is loosing support big time. They are mostly democrats.

You all should have waited until the University of Oregon and Oregon State go on Spring Break.

Or, this could just be a warm up and then we can do a bigger event later

I was surprised with teh time/date. But we will give it a go and see what happens. At least we will have lines of communications open for future efforts.

I see there will be one in SW Washinton. I am in SW Washington but I didn’t see where in the article it states the location of the Washington event.
