and I for one am going to do it.
There's a storm abrewin'. What happens when good, responsible people
keep quiet? Washington has forgotten they work for us. We don't work
for them. Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick
of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a plan. I am
sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they,
themselves,20have defaulted on their taxes. I am sick of the bailed
out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. I am
sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that,
knowingly, bought more house than they could afford. I am sick of
being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes. I, like
all of you, am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes. I live on a
budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden for poor
decisions I may make. I have
emailed my congressmen and senators
asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written
without reading it first. No one listened. They voted for it, pork
and all.
O.K. folks, here it is. You may think you are just one voice and what
you think won't make a difference. Well, yes it will and YES, WE
CAN!! If you are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is
handling our taxes. If you are fearful of the fallout from the
wreckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without
accountability and responsibility then we need to become ONE, LOUD
VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME IN
AMERICA. There is a growing protest t o demand that Congress, the
President and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens. What is
being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free
fall.
So, here's the plan. On April 1, 2009, all Americans are asked to send
a TEABAG to Washington, D.C. You do not have to enclose a note or any
other information unless you so desire. Just a TEABAG. Many cities
are organizing protests. If you simply search, "New American Tea
Party," several sites will come up. If you aren't the "protester"
type, simply make your one voice heard with a TEABAG. Your one voice
will become a roar when joined with millions of
others who feel the
same way. Yes, something needs to be done, but the lack of confidence
as shown by the steady decline in the stock market speaks volumes.
This was not my idea. I visited the sites of the New American Tea
Party(ies) and an online survey showed over 90% of thousands said they
would send the teabag on April 1. Why April 1?? We want them to reach
Washington by April 15. Will you do it? I will.
Send it to: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D.C., 20500.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. Visit the website below
for more information about the New American Tea Party. I would
encourage everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to mail, then
just drop it in the mail April 1. Can't guarantee what the postage
will be by then, it is going up as we speak, but have your envelope
ready. What will this cost you? A little time and a 40-something-cent
stamp.
What could you receive in benefits? Maybe, just maybe, our elected
officials will start to listen to the people. Take out the Pork. Tell
us how the money is being spent. We want TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY. Remember, the money will be spent over the next 4-5
years. It is not too late.

Of course, if you agree with the way things are being done now, just
