independence day tea parties across the country

Obama and liberals in Congress are taking us down the road to socialism, seizing control of key banks, insurance companies, the automobile industry, etc. They are currently working on a government funded national health care program which is expected to cost roughly $2 trillion while rationing services.

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

  • vote 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 Number 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?
  • take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?.

Raleigh Tea Party is Saturday, July 4th from 1-5 at Halifax Mall - on Lane Street, between Wilmington and Salisbury

Although the July 4 Tea Party seems too tepid to affect the outcome of the budget debate in Raleigh, I've decided to participate in the absence of a better alternative.

Some folks may have decided not to attend out of fear of being subjected to boring speeches by right-wing ideologues.

If you fall into this category, I would ask you to reconsider.

If the Tea Party turns out to be a total fiasco, I am given to understand there's a state-sponsored 4th of July party right across the street....

"Just like the map you show, your information and statistics are all out of proportion. It's funny that the map "looks" like there is massive support via the "tea parties," yet when scaled to realistic proportions (use a pin dot instead of the the large balloons to represent each tea party location) there really isn't that big of an interest in this so-called uprising against the government"

So tmed gives you a map with verifiable statistics and your comeback is essentially, the markers are too big??? Is that really the left's comeback to the teaparties? Come on. Imagine if you will then, that there are only hundreds of small dots representing each area where a party has been held. Do you honestly think that the map will look significantly different (other than where there are only 1 or 2 markers)?!?!

"You all need to unplug Rush and do your own research on the issues...AKA, think for yourselves!"

From the mouths of DRONES. We DO NOT buy what the left-wing, state-owned, lab-dog media is selling. We HAVE done our research, we HAVE reached our own conclusions, and we are scared to death for our country and our children. Some of us have seen this before. You think it's funny? I guarantee you won't find it so funny when it happens. You have luxuriated in the liberty that was paid for with thousands of lives. You WILL miss it when it's gone.

Hey Trab, when you take that "tax" vacation on 9/12, then head on up to DC. That would be perfect. A ton of people standing on Capitol Mall and nobody buying anything for a day.

scjabr, The map shows there's more support than a Code Pink rally. 4 Code Pinkers bump into each other on a street and it's a national news event. But, 100s of rallies are created across the entire nation and it's nothing of concern.

LOL...I know, it disturbs them to think their "tax and spend us into a 3rd world country" party is about to come to an end!

I can see that we have a few lemmings in the mix here. "T" you are righr on-hope to see you there!

Change....tisk tisk tisk....well, are you liking it yet?

tmed...it amazes me how these libs get all out of whack when someone presents the truth to them...keep up the good work mi amigo!

"Sen Dodd, who is writing the health care bill.... Now they are saying if you don't buy the new health care plan, they are going to FINE you $1000.00"

and they'll be exempt
