As we get closer to the TEA Party, let’s talk about some practical matters. Parking. Plan on getting there a little bit early, and don’t be afraid to walk a little. A map of parking in the area is here.

Hope you don’t mind another video, but I thought you would enjoy this short one of Neil Cavuto.

And here is a second one, The American Tea Party Anthem by Lloyd Marcus:

Enjoy!

The Tea Party effort is a grassroots, collaborative, volunteer, bipartisan organization made up of every day Patriotic American Citizens from across the country. We take pride and have a burning desire to restore our freedom. “We the people” are being ignored by our government and we intend on working together to correct the problem.

We must stand together, shoulder to shoulder, against our out of control government! It is time for us to protect God, our Country, and the Constitution upon which this great land was founded!

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

• says No earmarks, and the new budget has more than 8,000 earmarks.
• vote for over $800 billion dollar tax bill without even reading it.
• want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?
• want to reduce your tax deduction for charitable gifts?
• punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?
• won’t treat our Veterans with the same medical benefits Congress enjoys?
• 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?
• run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?
• spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will still be paying?
• spending billions in bailouts on companies to big to fail?
• give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get them selves re-elected?
• admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?
• say “No lobbyist” will work for him. He not only hired lobbyists, he appointed Cabinet members who cheated on their taxes.

If you are fed up, participate in the TEA PARTY rally.
