National TEA Party Day

Fittingly, this will be on April 15. http://www.teapartyday.com/

You should make plans to attend your local protest. You can find the times and location on the website.

Are you mad as hell? I'm so mad I don't know what to do with myself. What do I do? Listen to my iPod and become disengaged. Easiest solution becomes the worst possible solution. My apathy, your apathy, all of our apathy over the past 8 - 12 years has caused us to reach this point. It's hard to fight back. It's hard to know what to do. I'm reminded of our Nation's beginnings and a cliche phrase tossed around every so often - but it rings very true.

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE

Thank God, we don't have to fight for it in the traditional sense with guns and war like so many countries are still doing, but we have to fight to keep our freedoms. Fight with politics. Policy. Outcry. Being mad as hell!

It will certainly be inconvenient for me, as well as thousands of others, to show up downtown for this rally, but freedom requires sacrifice. And I'm so glad the sacrifice is only a few hours away from work and not my life or limbs!

These protest ascend above party lines. This is not a Republican vs Democrat protest. The Republicans are just as guilty as the Democrats - if not more! This is a time to be united against waste beyond waste. Spending in a way that cannot be fathomed. Power hungry and corrupt politicians need to be called out and ousted. They are there to serve us. They are elected to represent us. The politicians need to be held accountable.

All this crap talk about AIG and the bonuses? Why are we getting mad at AIG for doing what they are allowed to do? We should be pissed at the politicians who voted for the bill that allowed AIG to spend the money we gave them this way. They are doing nothing wrong. It's the Congress that we need to be mad at.
