Tea Parties

Anybody going to a tea party tomorrow? Still see the mainstream media does not cover this.

Looks like Texas may secede from the union.

I kinda wish the South would try it again sometimes(minus any and all racial issues). NY and CA have this country in check.

Heard a good idea at a tea party yesterday. SC, Texas, Louisiana, Alaska all have state bills up for votes called the 'Sovereignty Bills'. In effect they state that that the federal government only has certain rights given by the constitution and all other rights are given to the states. If passed this would allow these states to take all the federal mandates and say 'forget you to the federal government'. The choice then would be if the federal government wished to push the states to follow their guides (and cause a backlash) or just give in. This could include taxes raised for roads, schools, ect not being collected with state protection for the citizens.

Be interesting to see where this goes especially if 20 other states jump on board.....

I had a grant due so I was stuck at work, but I did throw some tea into a garbage can. I'm glad people are not letting this ridiculous bailout slide. The tax situation in this country is getting out of hand really fast.

I'd like Phil Gramm, Tom Harkin, Bill Clinton and others who sponsored, voted for or signed the garbage (Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000) that caused this mess to give all of their $ to people who are being affected by the banking crisis. Maybe we can call it a special tax on stupidity? Seriously ... if you create laws that have negative consequences, should we be letting those responsible slide?

The governor of Texas not only signed the bill but called out Obama publicly. It's about time someone stood up to the illegal pressure the feds put on state legislature. The fed can't force the states to pass laws outside the constitution so they withhold federal tax money until the states comply. It's total BS and illegal. Federal Congressmen and Senators who pass such laws should be imprisoned.

I got an extra room Chas. And with your woodworking skills, you could probably just build an additional house on to the property

I wanted to, but then I looked at my schedule and saw that I have an exam from 6:30-8:30, and then I get to come home and finish my f#$!ing taxes...

No tea party but there is a cigar tax dinner Im going to.

hotreds · 04-14-2009, 10:24 PM

I'll be with all of them in spirit! I understand Homeland Security is warning about the "radicals" meeting at the various tea parties! People with kids and grandkids should be very worried about what America will look like in 20 or so years.(If it is even called "America" then!)

Ratters · 04-14-2009, 10:19 PM

Going to a Tea Party in Walnut Creek tomorrow. I wonder how many people are going to be there as it's not one of the big ones. Should be interesting either way.

Oh, and from one of the states with the worst government imaginable, I say GO TEXAS!

King James · 04-15-2009, 12:13 AM

I think the nearest one is Chicago which I won't be able to make

A non partisan one today with expected 2 to 3k people at a restaurant (Its going to be a mad house), then the big one on Friday night put on by young republicans (top republican house rep running for governor is already posting his speech because he will get booed off for voting for bailout). I'll be at both. Bring your video cameras as Acorn has already vandalized the restaurant and will be trying to start something.

I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state...

Yup.
