A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA Independence Day tea parties in 350 cities Round 2 of tax protests scheduled for 47 states
---------------------------------------------------------- Posted: April 21, 2009 10:12 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily Planning for Round 2 of the nation's tea parties is under way - with more than 350 cities planning protests for Independence Day. While WND has been tracking 34 upcoming tea parties across the nation, the American Family Association has posted a list of rallies in 366 cities and 47 states for July 4. AFA is sponsoring Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties to be held at 12 p.m. in front of city halls across the nation. The organization launched a Tea Party Day website before the Tax Day events so volunteer organizers may register their protests with AFA. Michael DePrimo, special counsel to AFA President Tim Wildmon, told WND that AFA is still being inundated with e-mails from citizens who want to attend or organize tea parties in their own cities. "Our goal is simply to keep the grassroots organizations mobilized," he said. "We want to keep people pumped up and excited, and we want them to continue to knock on the door of Congress and the White House." DiPrimo continued, "We don't want people to think of it as a one-time event and then have it fall by the wayside. Every time you look in your wallet, think that 40 percent of what's in there goes to the government in taxes." The tea party website asks, Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who: a.. vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it? b.. are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying? c.. consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected? d.. want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others? e.. punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not? f.. admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda? g.. run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China? h.. want government-controlled health care? i.. want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections? j.. refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country? k.. appoint a defender of child pornography to the No. 2 position in the Justice Department? l.. want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will? m.. want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home-heating fuels? n.. want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts? o.. take money from your family budget to pay their federal budget? The group encourages tea party attendees to bring a cell phone and call the president, 202-456-1414, and Congress, 202-224-3121, while attending the rallies. (Story continues below) AFA lists tea party organizers from various cities to coordinate the July 4 events and is rapidly adding more by the day. DePrimo said volunteers who do not see their location on the list should visit the Tea Party Day website to add their tea party information.
