TEA

I write this as I prepared to attend the San Antonio Tea Party....


There is a stirring across the nation.

Many voices, once still, are now being found.

There is an anger never seen since, maybe 1775.

People are angry over the burdens they now bear.

They fork money over to the government and see it spent on unnecessary things.

They see their money go to those who didn’t earn it.

They are told that they are greedy if they try to keep what they have earned.

The politicians have turned their backs on them.

Does not matter if the politicians have a D or an R.

No one is listening.

They are being told that to even speak out is now an extreme act.

What happened to Freedom of Speech?

They are being told that to pay taxes is “patriotic.”

They are being told to share the burden for the current economic mess, usually be the same people who caused it.

Meanwhile, companies are being driven into the ground.

Will we have an auto industry 10 years from now?

Will Americans soon have to fork over 50%, 60%, 70% of their pay to the government?

How many generations will have to pay for the trillions in debt that is coming?

How many pet projects will be paid for with money taken from the taxpayer?

Bridges to Nowhere, Pig odor research, and a maglev train from LA to Las Vegas?

The stirring gets greater.

It turns into a single word: STOP!

STOP the excessive taxation for projects that are necessary.

STOP the hurt being put on the small business.

STOP the imposition of extreme measures by judicial diktat.

STOP with the dawdling around on border security.

STOP with the voices being stilled by hate groups.

STOP messing with the American People.

In about 2000 towns and cities, April 15 2009 will be different.

The stirring turns into a gathering.

A thousand here, ten thousand there.

Millions across the nation gather to say one word to Washington DC.

STOP!!!!

The Founding Fathers would be proud of us.

They are tired of rolling over in their graves at what the nation has become.

I agree.

I will march.

I will go to Alamo Plaza and draw a line in the sand and shout one word.

STOP!!!!!

Peace out mijos and mijas.

TEA=Taxed Enough Already.
