Tax Day Tea Parties and The Need To Be There

April 15th is the day the government has decided we should have our tax dollars in to their nefarious clutches. Tax day, 2009 is the day citizens have decided to gather to protest both the amount taken from them and the irresponsible manner in which it is spent. This is the day when citizen’s of today can join in spirit with our country’s giants of the past… names like Adams, Madison, Henry, Jefferson and Washington come to mind.

These men along with others named Lee, Franklin, and many more decided that they had been abused by Great Britain long enough and lifted their voices to demand an end to it. Today it is not a foreign government or colonial master confiscating the fruits of our labor, but our own government in Washington, DC.

It is essential that everyone who can possibly attend, be at one. For those who have voted for this unprecedented overreach of our government, it may put the fear of the voters in them. For those who have consistently stood strong against this financial madness, it will help give them courage to continue knowing they are not alone.

Beyond this, parts of Homeland Security have labeled those of us who would speak up at these rallies, a potential threat. We have truly come to a time when good is being called evil and evil, good. There is safety in numbers. Those who would be our masters can easily contain and control a few vocal malcontents… but they can’t contain the throngs of freedom loving Americans who want to stand together in hundreds of rallies throughout the nation.

A few of us can be ignored. Many of us may make those mad with power inside the beltway take the Biblical advice to “Consider your ways.”

If you don’t know where your local party is to be held, go to http://taxdayteaparty.com for complete information. As Arthur Fonzerelli would say, “Be there or be square”. Or, as I would say, be there or don’t complain when your country is turned upside and you, your children and grandchildren, are handed the bill.
