Tax Day Tea Parties!

Tea Party a Go Go!

Today I signed up with the National Tea Party Coalition to support the NATIONAL tea party events that will blanket the nation on April 15.

Yesterday, my husband received this email from American Solutions for Winning the Future and it's just irresistible:

We're happy to announce that on April 15th, American Solutions will be
sponsoring Tax Day Tea Parties all across the country. We've partnered with the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, and over 150 cities have already been confirmed.

You can find a Tea Party in your area by going to www.AmericanSolutions.com/TeaParty.

This is our opportunity to do two things.

First--to communicate our anger and opposition to the irresponsible, big
spending policies of Washington politicians who have failed to solve
problems.

Second--to clearly define a bold, new agenda and tell our elected
officials that they can either work for us, or we will vote them out of
office.

To help do this, we've created an American Solutions Toolkit for Tea
Parties. It includes our 12 American Solutions for Jobs & Prosperity, a few
handouts about our solutions relating to spending and taxes, and a checklist so
we can begin to find out where our elected officials stand.

To download your Toolkit for Tea Parties go to www.AmericanSolutions.com/TeaParty.

Propping up and bailing out failure with our tax dollars is not a
solution for our economy. It is irresponsible, and we must not tolerate it any
longer.

We hope you'll join us on April 15th to make this clear to Washington.

Free market-ish and entrepreneur-ily, there's even a Tea Party Gear Store where you can buy some pretty funny "Tea" Shirts and bumper stickers, complete with a contest to win some of the gear. They're trying to raise some money to send info and gear to organizers across the country. Insurrection AND shopping! Now that's a way to take some of the sting out of Tax Day.

So far there's not a Tea Party scheduled for New Orleans; Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, and Shreveport are all onboard in Louisiana. I'll wait a few days and, if no one has begun to brew, I just may have to put the kettle on the burner myself.

I wonder what a permit to hold a tea party in NOLA costs? Yard sales are pretty pricey!
