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, and now have given themselves another raise. 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 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. They don't listen. 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 TRILLIONS 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 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 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' 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 42 (+??) 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 to save ourselves and especially our children who will bear the brunt of this endless mess.



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



And then head on down to the poorhouse!

Yeah, but who caused this mess?

At this point it doesn't matter who you want to blame for this mess.
The idiots in Washington are making it worse. Your grandchildren's children are going to pay for this.

You know seems like a symbolic gesture at best . Especially when you do write or call your Senators, congressmen and all the other elected officials, YES including the president. Is all you get back is some standard form letter claiming what a good job they are doing to help aleviate the current situation. I have gotten back so many of those stupid things its not funny. Finally I sent to all of them stop wasting my time, their time and the tax payers time and money even on the 42 cents it takes to send the reply. If all I am going to get is more bull sh*t... It's business as usual to them pork and more pork. Yet Its understandable they want to help the communities they do represent by having "pet" projects being funded. This helps spur spending in the local areas. sure sure and that's why there is one ceratin person who has "pork" attached in the new spending bill of a grant to study why pigs stink.... Now thats real pork. good luck with the tea bags. personally it won't change a thing. Nothing ever does till the vast majority of people get off their butts and vote for someone honest?

MirrorMirror has been sending them teabags for years now.

I agree with you,but something is better then nothing.
