Tea, Anyone?

The Tax Day Tea Party was a huge success. It really got the media’s attention, not to mention the attention of the people that we wanted the most- Washington, DC.

Orlando Tax Day Tea Party

Obama and his cronies were steaming mad that we would not only take attention away from the anointed one but that we would usurp their area- protests. Liberals are very sensitive about the issue. But they haven’t seen any protests yet. This was just the warm up for the march on Washington this July 4th.

Unfortunately, the politicians will be on vacation with their families but we will make sure that they get the message: The Revolution has just begun.

Locally, we had a great turnout. Estimated about 3000 people showed up on the steps of Orlando City Hall. While, it was a little smaller than the Orlando Tea Party. There really is no comparison. First, the Orlando Tea Party was on a weekend when most people are out of work and school. The Tax Day Tea Party was during the week, when people were on their way home from work.

And I have no doubt that the Tax Day Tea Party crowd was different. Sure, there were a few people that attended both, but many attendees were first time protesters. At least from the calls that I heard on Bud Hedinger Show.

My husband was able to attend both, but unfortunately I was not able to attend the Tax Day Tea Party because I had to work. But even though, I had a job to do, I wore my Fair Tax shirt to stage my own little protest. Out of that small act- I got some criticism, but I also recruited another Fair Tax supporter. I would say it was worth it.

Another Brick in the Wall

Earlier today I read a story on Drudge that appeared in the New York Times. The story is about the latest illegal immigration protest. But it is not what you think. Read on:

Advocates of tougher border security have sent thousands of bricks to Senate and House offices in recent weeks to make a none-too-subtle point with lawmakers about where many of their constituents come down on emerging immigration bills.

Leaders of the campaign, which has delivered an estimated 10,000 bricks since it began in April, said they had hit on the idea as a way to emphasize the benefits of a fence along the border with Mexico.

In an age when professionally planned lobbying campaigns have long since overwhelmed spontaneous grass-roots pressure, organizers of the brick brigade said they also saw an opportunity to deliver a missive not easily discarded.

“E-mails are so common now,” said Kirsten Heffron, a Virginian who is helping coordinate the effort. “It is really easy for the office to say duly noted, hit delete and never think about it again.”

If you would like to show your Congressman your support for the wall feel free to send a brick.
