It's Time for Tea Parties

I can't tell you how excited I am about the thousands of tea parties taking place all across the country. Unfortunately, close to where I live (Cedar Rapids, IA) there were only 6 people in attendance, one of them standing about 50 feet from the others with a 'More Taxes' sign. It could be that either they didn't plan in advance time, or that Iowa has turned so dang liberal.

Either way, I'm keeping up to date on all the others taking place, I just wish I could be part of all the action.

The media is going to spin these protests to be an act of the crazy right wingers, but what they don't get is that the people showing up, are Americans who are fed up. The message is clear, stop the wasteful spending, stop increasing taxes, and start listening to what the American people are asking for. Thanks to the Mr. O. administration, our grandchildren will be born broke and owing the government money. For the record, I didn't agree with the massive spending by the Bush Administration either. How does spending money help the economy? How does printing more money increase the value of the dollar? There is common sense to this madness, people just need to pay attention.

I am thankful to all the great Americans out there who are standing up and raising their voices. We will remain silent no longer. Enough is enough. The Government got our attention, now it's time that we get theirs.
