Americans are TEA'd...

It's time Americans spoke up about how our elected officials are spending our tax dollars. On April 15, 2009, we are uniting to let them know that we are "Taxed Enough Already", a/k/a TEA'd.

If you are unsure if you are TEA'd, think about the answers to these questions...

Do you want the U.S. government to continue to spend trillions of borrowed dollars, money that our children and our grandchildren will need to repay? Do you think billions of your tax dollars should be funneled to pay the pork spending projects of those in the House and Senate? Do you think your tax deductions for charitable contributions should be reduced? Do you want funds from your own family budget redistributed to others who aren't willing to work as hard as you?

If you answered "NO!", then there is a good chance that you are TEA'd. Join us as we unite at the nationwide 2009 TEA Party rally on April 15, 2009. There is a good chance that a TEA party is already scheduled in your community on that day. If not, consider attending one at a nearby city, or even organizing one in your area.

One more thing, anyone can join the TEA party movement. It doesn't matter if you are Republican, Democrat, or somewhere in between. This is not about party politics. It is about standing together as Americans to let Washington, D.C. know that we will not tolerate their abuse of the power any longer!

Remembering the Boston Tea Party... 

On December 16, 1773, colonists in Boston joined together to send a clear message to Britain. In protest of Britain's Tea Act, and in particularly Britain's refusal to allow them to be represented by their own elected officials, they boarded three ships in the Boston Harbor and dumped the inventory of tea overboard. This act of protest is legendary in American history, and now...

It time for a modern day Tea Party. We will not be dumping tea in the Boston Harbor, but we will be sending a message just the same. Our elected officials must realize they cannot continue to ignore the people of America. They are elected to represent our interests, and not their own. It is our tax dollars they are spending. It is our children they are indebting. It is their wasteful spending that we are TEA'd about, and it has to STOP!

How Can You Participate in the 2009 TEA Party Rally 

If you are "Taxed Enough Already", it's time to unite. Plan to spend a couple of hours on April 15th to attend a 2009 Tea Party Rally in your community. You can find out if an event is being held in your area by visiting the Tax Day Tea Party website.

Things are not out of your control. You do have a voice. We must unite to be heard! You will not want to miss this historic event, as Americans stand together to take their country back!

    ROBERT MCNAMARA IS DEAD! What a wretched soul. It took him THREE DECADES for him to realize his and his bean counters folly in our United States' quagmire in VIETNAM! Only ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SOLDIERS were committed to that lost cause, and see what we are now doing in Afghanistan and Iraq. We ecologically devasted parts of Vietnam with endless fire bombings, and AGENT ORANGE spraying defoliation's which is still killing countless Am and VN civilians from various CANCERS! Did we learn nothing at all?! These are our magnificent problems, when our military-industrial complex has so much WAR PROFITEERING. As General Smedley Butler rightly declared in his aptly titled poweful book: WAR IS A RACKET! We can no longer afford to commit to war-making enterprises and war madness. WE ARE TAXING OURSELVES TO DEATH. War making enterprises could not exist without our TAXING POLICIES.

    Hey, can we afford just one more war, too?! I'm tea'd concerning the $billions spent for our mili-industial complex, about which Pres IKE warned the Am-people! It's the same old saw that Abe Lincoln railed about and warned against as corporate entities became recognized as virtual persons and represented by teams of lawyers: "The Money Powers!" So, now that more $BILLIONS and $TRILLIONS are freely given for bank "bailouts", and GM and other privately owned corporations, why aren't Am-Citizens who pays and pays and pays their taxes, also being given a minimal $100,000,000 CASH TRIBULATION JUBILEE BONUS, too?! Let's start from the bottom-up this time! Why is all the money freely given AT THE TOP. Trickle down voodoo economics of Raygun's ever-spend era never worked, and wreaked havoc on our financial system. Giving $BILLIONOS to Halliburton and KBR and BLACKWATER does not work! 250,000 MERCENARIES of "angel" "savior" of admin does not work! GIVE THE $$$ TO THE PEOPLE, after all we are
