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, have 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 to 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 Ameicans 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 that 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's
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
delete!!!!!
