Quincy Tea Party 9/12: Mark Your Calendars!

Because I went MIA last week and missed out on all the "fun" with the Tea Party demonstrations nationwide on Aug. 22nd, I have vowed to keep my antenna up, my radar on Doppler, and my ear to the ground (goin' old school with that one!). There will be many tea parties again around the country on Sept. 12th.

I'm monitoring St. Louis Tea Party Coalition's website. At this time, they are endorsing participation in a big, tri-state area Tea Party in Quincy, Illinois. Perhaps this is a perfect venue, given that the state of Illinois is celebrating Lincoln's bicentennial. In fact, they're calling it "Lincoln's Legacy: Patriots on the Prairie" and will be held 1:00-6:00 p.m. at Washington Park. Here's what they have on the agenda:

Quincy Tea Party

When: Sat, September 12, 1:00pm – 4:30pm

Where: Quincy, Illinois (map)

Description: Our goal with this event is to create a rumbling never before seen in this part of the country by rallying thousands of concerned citizens from Quincy and the surrounding area to attend our Tea Party event. The local movement was started by some Quincyans who have a vision and believe that the American people still run the show. Their goal is to rally thousands of area citizens around our cause with the goal that our government not only gets the message from New York, Washington, and Atlanta, but Quincy as well. We will rally numbers of a magnitude that will require local media coverage at our event. Let’s show the nation that the Tri-State area won’t accept less than our forefathers provided for us in our Constitution.

Our Message:
1. The spending must stop!
2. We won't allow the government to tax us into oblivion without the proper representation granted to us by our Constitution.
3. Our children have the right to chart their futures without paying for our past.
4. Most importantly - to let the world know that we are the "Silent Majority, No More"
