    Default CHECK HERE FOR A TEA PARTY NEAR YOU!!

    Hey all, I thought it would be nice, for those of you interested, to post a link where you can find a tea party near you and give you a place to post your experiences if you have the chance to go to one tomorrow the 15th of april, tax day.
    Here is the link:Tax Day Tea Party
    On the right hand side towards the top of the page it says choose a state. Click on your state to find the nearest tea party to you! After you come home please post your experience here!

    Thanks,
    Mark Avery

    so, which one are you going to?

    i will continue to be drinking my tea at home, just baked some biscotti earlier. i would like to support the economy by buying the finished product, but it's not good and the ones that were good the store doesn't stock anymore. i still enjoy my party.

    I really wanted this to be a real grassroots campaign.. But like everything else, just another way to push lobbyist agendas...

    From an outsiders pov, it is interesting to see that in US politics, one half of the voters is always doing its best to make sure that the winner fails, rather than to do everything they can to make it work.

    No finger pointing btw. The dems did it under Bush, and now the reps do it under O'Bama.

    And if you believe this, you probably believe that the liberals will sprinkle fairy dust (liberal speak for our tax dollars) on our problems and make them all go away.

    No. I think between the bush-obama administrations everyone panicked and threw money at the problem without actually spending 5 minutes to look at the bills.

    I do believe these "Tea Parties" are a farce.

    From the media coverage point of view, you are most likely correct. I will be enjoying this farce in the afternoon as many of my friends will be, regardless of how much it will be ridiculed by the liberals and the numb.

    PS: No, we were not hired to participate. I do not think your Astroturfing comparison works here.

    Excellent. Freedom of Assembly is a good thing.

    btw, What have I said in the past that marks me as a, "Fairy dust sprinkling liberal"?
