"Joe The Plumber" To Speak At Brighton's Tea Party Stop

9/8/09 - Brighton Police say they will assign a few extra officers to handle any issues that may arise from this afternoon’s political rally at the Mill Pond. The Tea Party Express is a national tour to protest government spending and high taxes. It will stop at 3:30 this afternoon in downtown Brighton. Among the featured speakers will be Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, better known as “Joe The Plumber”, who came to prominence as a supporter of Senator John McCain in the 2008 Presidential election. The tour began in Sacramento, California on August 28th and will finish with the "Taxpayer March on D.C." this Saturday. Meanwhile, the Livingston County Democrats will gather at Brighton’s Mill Pond at 3pm, just before the Tea Party event. Chairwoman Judy Daubenmier says their gathering will be to support holding down health-care costs and serve as a counter-balance to the Tea Party event. (JK)

Thousands expected at anti-tax rally

If you're mad as heck with government and don't want to take it anymore, the Tea Party Express wants to release those frustrations.

The tour is coming to the Mill Pond in Brighton at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, and local residents are gearing up for it.

 

Several busloads of conservative activists have been making a cross-country tour that has been named after the legendary Boston Tea Party, where American colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor in protest of the British government's policy of taxing them without representation.

 

Although local supporters said the gathering isn't a Republican rally, it's clear the event is geared toward people with conservative views on health care and government spending.

 

"It's really not a Republican thing or Democratic thing," said Mike Murphy, chairman of the Livingston County Republican Party and Livingston County undersheriff.

 

"It's a grass-roots, conservative, anti-tax thing," Murphy said.

Murphy's planning to attend the event, and he expects it will draw several thousand residents.

 

The Tea Party Express is scheduled to stop in Jackson at noon, Brighton at 3:30 p.m. and Troy at 6:30 p.m.

 

Murphy said there are a "lot of people who are just normal folk" who are upset with the direction in which government is headed. He said residents are worried about higher taxes when they hear about government plans to administer health-care programs.

 

"It doesn't make any sense to fix it for a small percentage of folks and burden a larger percentage of folks," he said.

 

Murphy also said the federal government doesn't have a good track record of running programs successfully.

 

Marion Township resident Wendy Day, who helped organize a "tea party" in April in Lansing, said she's expecting a huge turnout at the Brighton event. Although she's not organizing the event, she is helping to get the word out about it.

 

Day said Michigan is probably in the worst shape of all the states, and it's been in trouble for a long time.

 

"I think people in Michigan are rugged individualists and are embracing the 'tea party' movement because we haven't had good options," she said. "We don't have leadership in Michigan."

 

Day criticized both parties for their lack of leadership.

 

"There's nobody on either side of the aisle that is stepping up and leading," she said.

 

While she expects a lot of Republicans, Day also believes independents and Democrats will attend the event. She hopes this protest will channel this energy into action.

 

"I hope it would encourage the average citizen, the average taxpayer, to take the country back from the political elite," she said.

 

Retired high school teacher Irene Bescanon decided to hold a gathering at her house so supporters could make signs. The Brighton Township woman is vice chairwoman of the Livingston County Republican Women's Club and serves on the Livingston County Republican Party Executive Committee.

 

"We just want to be citizens expressing our opinion of what the government ought to be doing," she said.

 

Bescanon, who is 65, said she's concerned about health care and doesn't want to be "written off" because she's older.

 

She favors a plan that would allow individuals to carry their insurance plans wherever they go. She doesn't mind paying for her health care, and she wants to be able to pick her doctor.

 

Arlene Callaghan, outreach coordinator with the county GOP, dismissed accounts of the "tea party' as gatherings of "angry mobs."

 

"We're just concerned citizens," the Genoa Township woman said.

Callaghan said residents are worried about rising taxes, Social Security, Medicare and health care.

 

She hopes people in government listen to what residents have to say at these gatherings.

 

"I just want to have a voice," Callaghan said.

Bridgeport

“””

Pardon my persistence in emails this week, but an extraordinary event warrants extra publicity.

The Tea Party Express will make stops in Hartford and Bridgeport, Friday, before winding down the highway to Washington DC on Saturday.

We have learned that the best-selling author and hard-hitting conservative pundit, Ann Coulter, will join the TPE in Bridgeport.

We have a terrific show planned for Hartford ! We urge everyone to arrive early to get parking as close as possible. Here is a map of the vicinity and one of Hartford Parking too. Both are on the Dump Dodd web site. Be sure to email all your friends within 100 miles. AND IF YOU OWN A WORKING BELL OF ANY SIZE, PLEASE BRING IT ALONG. LET FREEDOM RING!!

Dump Dodd 2010 plans to visit the RTC Lobster Fest at 64 Cider Mill Road in Tolland on Saturday, Sept 12.
The “clam bake” runs from 1 PM to 4 PM.

We also plan to be at the Norwich Tea Party at Chelsea Parade. That runs from 1 PM to 4 PM too!

We have not decided where to start........most likely in Norwich from 1 to 2 and on to Tolland for the last hour.

Our final email Friday night will indicate our schedule. So if you would like to obtain Dump Dodd yard signs, let me know how many so the Dodd-mobile can be adequately stocked. Thank you.

I have no idea... I don't know a thing about Bridgeport, except that it's got an awful reputation. Anyone else know?

Does anyone know anything about parking near the Baldwin Plaza, 1061 Main Street?

[nutmeg]

Thanks for the Hartford Tea Party Patriots link. It's a bit confusing, though. Isn't the Hartford Tea Party Express stop on 9/11/09 at 10:00am? Isn't the Bridgeport Tea party Express stop on 9/11 at 1:30pm?

The website below gives different times....

Here is more about it. (I don't have time to post a thread)

Brighton Police Estimate 4,000 Attend Tea Party

9/8/09 - Brighton Police say approximately 4,000 people attended this afternoon’s political rally at the Mill Pond. The Tea Party Express is a national tour to protest government spending and high taxes. Among the featured speakers was Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, better known as “Joe The Plumber”, who came to prominence as a supporter of Senator John McCain in the 2008 Presidential election. The tour began in Sacramento, California on August 28th and will finish with the "Taxpayer March on D.C." this Saturday. Meanwhile, the Livingston County Democrats gathered at Brighton’s Mill Pond just before the Tea Party event, but only attracted about 100 participants. Chairwoman Judy Daubenmier says their gathering was to support holding down health-care costs and serve as a counter-balance to the Tea Party event. (JK)

Here's more

Joe the Plumber to speak at Tea Party Express rally today in Brighton

September 8, 2009

A familiar figure from the 2008 presidential campaign will speak at today’s Tea Party Express rally in Brighton

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher — aka Joe the Plumber — has confirmed with organizers that he’ll talking at the event, which gets under way at 3:30 p.m. at the Mill Pond. Wurzelbacher, an Ohio resident, shot to notoriety after asking President Barack Obama on the campaign trail about his tax policies. Rival Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and McCain supporters often invoked his name when talking about economics and small business.

While local supporters have said today’s gathering isn’t a Republican rally, the event bills itself on its Web site as a rallying point for “out-of-control spending, higher taxes, bailouts, and growth in the size and power of government.”

Other tour stops are scheduled today at noon in Jackson and at 6:30 p.m. in Troy. For more details, see teapartyexpress.org.

The teaparty express schedule is still in effect and hasn't changed.

This thread was posted to let people know about Ann Coulter and Joe The Plumber being speakers at Bridgeport.
