BREAKING NEWS: The City of Burleson, Texas is trying to shut down a Tax Day Tea Party planned for April 15th!!
According to local organizers, unelected street supervisor Ray Gonzales, informed them that he was going to prevent the event from happening. Not only does Mr. Gonzales have no authority to do so, city government officials told local organizers that they do not need a permit to demonstrate in Burleson. I will post an update as soon as I get one from the local organizers, but I have been told that Mr. Gonzales is trying to get the Texas Department of Transportation to stop the tea party from happening.
Those who cherish liberty must stand with our friends in Burleson, Texas, and demand that the local government immediately drop all attempts to cancel the Burleson Tea Party.
Call and email them now!!!

I can tell you that the people will show up anyway, but we need to send a message to the city of Burleson, just like we did in Cape Coral, Florida.
Burleson Tea Party
April 15, 2009 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Location: Across the street from Wal-Mart 951 SW Wilshire Blvd. Burleson, Texas 76028 (burlesonteaparty@gmail.com)
ROAD TRIP!!!!!

just did....here’s a copy
Ray Gonzales has no right to stop or even say anything about this tea party. Seems to me with the name Gonzales, he is of Mexican decent. Also seems, to a lot of us, that Mexicans are the only ones who think they have any rights to demonstrate for their rights....remember all the signs in Dallas...via la Mexico.
Please prove us wrong. And tell Mr. Gonzales to shut his trap....
A WHITE US CITIZEN....
“Permit? We don’t need no stinkin Permit!”

I'll bet Mr. Gonzales is a democrat - just might be the REAL reason.
OMG...even in TEXAS? If Texans can’t get it done we are doomed. And what is a stinking street supervisor, first cousin to a community organizer?
What you do is do it anyway. Screw them.
no it called being “MEXICAN”
Dangit, it’s after 5:00 p.m. I’ll hit him first thing in the a.m. Texas Tea Party (Arlington) has your back.
Me too; since they don’t allow blacks there.
Absolutely! If they have one in my area, I'm going!
Need to get Glenn Beck on this. BTW, he’s going to be broadcasting from the Alamo Tea Party.
Dying media jornalism newsspeak. Maybe the writer apprenticed for a Marxist newspaper.

Problems with Abingdon Tea Party?
Jerry notes that there may be a permitting problem with the Tea Party down in Abingdon. Here’s a note from the event’s organizer, Ted Dingler, on the group’s Facebook page:
The town of Abingdon has denied us the use of the muster site as well as all town owned property. We are currently working on a substitute site as well as several other options. Rest assured, there will be a tea party somewhere in the Abingdon, VA area.
This strikes me as a rather novel decision regarding “town owned” property...which, by any other name, is public property. Paid for, and thus owned by, taxpayers.
Burleson is a conservative town in very conservative Johnson County, so I don’t see anyone forbidding this event. This ain’t Dallas!
Did anyone get that in WRITING?
You sure don’t want to be confused by the facts.
Bump!
