This is the perfect opportunity to have a voice, to show our government that we demand change. Change that is not more government, but less. Change that doesn't resemble the farce that has been spewed onto us. We demand that we have no taxation without representation. If our polictians are representing us, I see no proof of it. If you can go to this, please do.

According to The American Tea Party Facebook:

"America is on the brink of another revolution. In a new American Tea Party, citizens across the USA are beginning to protest giant government programs that reach deep into their pockets. These programs create huge economic burdens on American families and threaten their livelihood now and into the future."

The theme for this nationwide protest is:

Repeal the Pork, Cut Taxes and Spending.

There are more than 500 tea parties confirmed and over 500 planned but not confirmed for that day, and it is expected that over the next week and a half, the number of tea parties will continue to grow. Crowds of 5,000 to 10,000 are expected in multiple cities, including Atlanta, where Sean Hannity of Fox News will be broadcasting live, Sacramento, where Neal Cavuto will host his show, San Antonio, where Glenn Beck will broadcast, and New York City, where Newt Gingrich will be a featured speaker.

If you can't be there due to your job, it is understandable. In this day and age, we can't afford to lose what so many people have lost. Send your support in writing. Let the politicians know that you don't care if the media (most of whom are in the right pocket of Obama)are reporting that the things are getting better and the DOW is up. Who cares if it's up a week or so. Can I buy a car? Can I refinance my mortgage even though I have made every payment on time? Can I get a loan? Can someone do something about a loan that is $265 for interest and only $52 of my payment goes to principle a month? How is that stimulating? More like loan shark theft!

Washington wants to keep spending money IT doesn't have because IT thinks that we will pay it? Well, I will not pay another dollar in taxes without steeping it in a hugh cup of hot water first. Let it steep and see just how strong it is. Not strong enough? Will it even color the water? I doubt it! I'll throw it out and try again next month. I doubt that it will be any stronger! So the day that that dollar bill is strong enough is the day that I will give to Uncle Sam. Until then, I will just keep my money circulating within my own city and state, but the feds will get nothing from me. Matter-of-fact, wouldn't it be great to print Elmore County Currency that we can use here to buy our needs. Buy from local people. Other cities have done it, why not here?

Come on, Washington! Convince me that "Happy days" are here again. Do you really think that the majority of the smart people of this nation actually believe the words? Well read these words and think about it:

Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:

-voted for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it

-are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?

-consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?

-want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?

-punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?

-admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?

-run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?

-want government-controlled health care?

-want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?

-refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?

-appoint a defender of child pornography to the No. 2 position in the Justice Department?

-want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?

-want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home-heating fuels?

-want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?

and a President and Congress who actually take money from your family budget to pay their federal budget?

All people reading this, regardless of how you voted, can you actually stay fast to that fairy tale you believed when you cast your vote? Is this the American government that our husbands & wives, fathers & mothers, brothers & sisters, uncles & aunts, Grandfathers and Grandmothers of our history fought to preserve? It's time to lay aside your pride and admit that you were tricked into voting for it? Or will you hold onto that pride and spit in their faces and honestly say that you are supporting a government like that? Or will you stand and say, "No, not anymore. I really thought that it was the right vote but not anymore!" Just swallow and say it! Join with your fellow citizens who still believe in America! Now is the time to stand!
