Tea-Minus 24 Days: Save the Nation!

22 March 2009

TAX DAY TEA PARTY

KIENER PLAZA | 6:30 PM | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2009

Only 24 days until the largest, nationwide, conservative protest in a generation! Join your neighbors and family in preserving the Republic, cutting taxes, reducing federal spending, and destroying Obama’s socialist plans.

No doubt, you’ve heard Senator Judd Gregg’s warnings about Obama’s proposed budget. If not, here are some highlights:

“The practical implications of this is bankruptcy for the United States,” Gregg said of the Obama’s administration’s recently released budget blueprint. — CNN

“It is as if you were flying an airplane and the gas light came on and it said ‘you 15 minutes of gas left’ and the pilot said ‘we’re not going to worry about that, we’re going to fly for another two hours.’

Of course, we already knew this. We also knew that the United States of America was never supposed to be a nanny state in which the President personally set salary limits, mortgage contract terms, and stock prices. But President Obama is using the economic downturn caused by government meddling in mortgages as an excuse to take over most of the economy.

Stop Him Now!

Our choice is stark: stop Barack Obama by wiping out his political capital, or live in a socialist country. If the laws and regulations Obama proposes make it to the books, if fills dozens of federal court vacancies with leftist judges, it will take several generations to restore the republic. The judges will simply order socialism from the bench.

The way to stop him is before us: destroy Obama’s political capital. We can do this through the Tea Party movement. As our events grow in size and seriousness, top political leaders from both parties will abandon Barack Obama. In their desire to hold onto their Congressional seats, these tax-and-spend fiscal liberals will start making mistakes–mistakes we can exploit to take back the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2010 or 2012.

Barack Obama is the Target

A movement must have a human target. Like it or not, abstract ideas like “liberty” and “freedom” work only with the converted. The large population that pays little attention must have a human face to rally for or against, not political theory.

Barack Obama is that face. He is the first socialist president in American history. For a decade, Obama has made no secret about his disdain for the Constitution and his desire to overturn the notion of limited government. He has earned our scorn and anger. Kathleen Parker points out the absurdity of Obama’s administration in today’s Washington Post:

there is a carnival air of unseriousness and grotesquery loose upon the land. Life has become one grand, comic burlesque, a vaudevillian game show where plumbers are journalists, war heroes twitter and the president hits the late-night circuit in the midst of crisis.

Join the Tea Party Movement

Come to the St. Louis Tea Party Protest at Kiener Plaza at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15. Bring you neighbors, co-workers, and kids. Bring your friends. Help them to understand that our survival as a nation hangs in the balance.

Orlando Tea Party Draws Over 4,000 Angry Taxpayers!

“We’re really scared about what’s happening in our country,” said Debby Whisenand, 71, of Largo in Pinellas County. She waved a sign that read “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money” on one side, and “You can’t blame Bush anymore” on the other.

If we fail to destroy Obama’s political capital, our experiment in government of the people, by the people, and for the people will perish. You don’t want that on you conscience, and your children don’t deserve what might come after.
