Find Your TAX DAY TEA PARTY April 15, 2009 - SumOfAllFears - 03-16-2009 02:03 PM Fed-up Americans mobilize: More than 150 tea parties Patriots put blazing heat on Washington, rebuke reckless spending http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=91398 Posted: March 15, 2009 9:50 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily A revolution is brewing as American patriots and free-market advocates unite in protest against out-of-control government spending – with a wildfire movement of more than 150 nationwide tea parties. John M. O'Hara of The Heartland Institute is a member of New American Tea Party, a coalition of citizens and organizations concerned about reckless government spending, is helping coordinate a number of national tea party events. "Our message is simple: 'Bailing out' reckless businesses and individuals is neither the burden of responsible, hard-working American taxpayers nor the role of government," he told WND. Here's a tea party everyone can join! Sign the petition calling for the Constitution and common sense to prevail when it comes to spending... O'Hara said there is no question the United States is facing tough economic times, but he believes many politicians are not proposing serious solutions. "The Congressional Budget Office and countless economists say that the recent 'stimulus' packages will likely hinder, not help, our economy," he said. "Tax cuts, not tax hikes and handouts, are the quickest, most efficient means of getting our economy back on track." O'Hara said legislators must listen to citizens who are tired of irresponsible policies so the nation can recover. "It is time politicians heed the will of the American people and the clear signals coming from the financial sector: stop the excessive spending, cut taxes, and get out of the way. Only then will we unleash the resilient, entrepreneurial spirit of American's that has made our nation great and which will propel us through this rough patch to more prosperous times ahead. The New American Tea Party website states, "This isn't a conservative or liberal thing. This is about government forking over billions of dollars, our money, to businesses that should have failed. This is about taking money from responsible people and handing it over to CEOs who squandered their own." Another organization, the Political Exploration and Awareness Committee, or PEACPAC, formed a website known as ReTeaParty and accepts tea party registrations from across the nation. It also provides detailed information on how to organize tea parties and posts photos of the events. Tax Day Tea Party, a national collaborative grassroots effort organized by Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter, the DontGo Movement and many other online groups, is also promoting the events. WND has also launched its own tea party forum so citizens may exchange ideas, information and announcements about the "revolution." After reviewing various website protest listings, WND found more than 150 tea parties scheduled for upcoming months and compiled one of the most complete lists on the Internet. Here are some scheduled tea parties: Birmingham, Ala. – Wednesday, April 15, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Veteran Park on Highway 17 Valledale Road Huntsville, Ala. – Wednesday, April 15, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., location to be announced Decatur, Ala. – Saturday, March 28, at the Rhodes Ferry Park, (also known as River Park) Mobile, Ala. – Wednesday, April 15, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the USS Alabama battleship Montgomery, Ala. – Wednesday, April 15, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Alabama Statehouse located at 11 South Union Street Phoenix, Ariz. – Wednesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. at capitol building Tucson, Ariz. – Wednesday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of Joel D.
