You are going to be hearing a lot here about the American Tea Party. Here is the central location, although I think it is more of a state by state thing. Here is the facebook page. Here is the Houston Tea Party facebook page. via WND
.........................
April 15th is the next big one. And you need to be a part of it.
........................
The New American Tea Party website states, "This isn't a conservative or liberal thing. This is about government forking over billions of dollars, our money, to businesses that should have failed. This is about taking money from responsible people and handing it over to CEOs who squandered their own." (via WND)
..........................
Powerline has an amazing picture from yesterday's Cincinnati's tea party.
The Cincinnati Enquirer covers the rally:
Thousands of people filled Fountain Square this afternoon for the Cincinnati Tea Party, a grassroots-effort designed to show their disapproval for bailouts and the massive federal stimulus plan. People wore Revolution-era costumes and raised anti-bailout signs with messages like "Give us Liberty, not debt" and "No more bailouts." ...
The rally at Fountain Square was one of dozens staged across the country.
