So, here's the plan..
On April 1, 2009, all
Americans are asked to send a TEA BAG to Washington D.C.
There's a storm brewing. What happens when good,
responsible people keep quiet? Washington has forgotten
they work for us. We don't work for them. Throwing
good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of
the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with
a plan. I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the
coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their
taxes. I am sick of the bailed out companies having
lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. I am sick
of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people
that, knowingly, bought more house than they could
afford. I am sick of being made to feel it is my
patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes. I, like all of you,
am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes. I live on a
budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden
for poor decisions I may make. I have emailed my
congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the
stimulus package as it was written without reading it
first. No one listened. They voted for it, pork and
all.
You may think you are just one voice and won't make a difference. Well, YES, WE CAN!! If you are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is handling our taxes. If you are fearful of the fallout from the reckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need to become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME IN AMERICA. There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens. What is being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free fall.
So, here's the plan..
On
April
1,
2009,
all
Americans
are
asked
to
send
a
TEA
BAG
to
Washington
D.C.
You do
not have
to
enclose
a note
or any
other
information
unless
you so
desire.
Just a
TEA BAG.
Many
cities
are
organizing
protests.
If you
simply
search, "New
American Tea
Party",
several
sites will
come up. If
you aren't
the
'protester'
type, simply
make your
one voice
heard with a
TEA BAG.
Your one
voice will
become a
roar when
joined with
millions of
others that
feel the
same way.
Yes,
something
needs to be
done but the
lack of
confidence
as shown by
the steady
decline in
the stock
market
speaks
volumes.
This was
not my
idea. I
visited
the
sites of
the 'New
American
Tea
Party
and an
online survey showed
over 90%
of
thousands said
they
would
send the
TEA BAG
on April
1.
Why April
1? We
want
them to
reach
Washington
by April
15.
Send it to:
1600 Pennsylvania
Ave. Washington D.C.
20500
Forward this to everyone in your address
book. Visit the website below for more
information about the 'New American Tea
Party'. Get the envelope ready
to mail, then just drop it in the mail
April 1. Can't guarantee what the
postage will be by then, it is going up
as we speak, but have your envelope
ready. What will this cost you? A
little time and a stamp.
What could you receive in benefits? Maybe,
just maybe, our elected officials will start
to listen to the people. Take out the
Pork. Tell us how the money is being
spent.
We want TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
Remember, the money will be spent over the next 4-5
years.
There is still time.
Of course, if you agree with the way things are
being done now, just delete!
If you simply search, "New American Tea Party", several sites
will come up.
Please visit
stories, etc.
for more pictures, stories, etc.
