TEA'd off

Today, I went to a TEA party. I've been to a few planning meetings for it, and I helped pass out fliers and clean up afterward. I got so sunburned, but at least it wasn't raining.

What's a TEA party you ask? The TEA party movement is spawned from the idea that we are Taxed Enough Already. Myself and the approximately 3,000 other people at our party are tired of the government spending TRILLIONS of dollars we don't have, not reading bills before signing them, and mainly forgetting they they are there to REPRESENT the people. Not their own agendas or personal interests.

John Paul think's I'm crazy, yet he's upset at how much of his paycheck was TAKEN from him each time he received one. I want to be a part of the movement to remind the people in Washington why they are there. I want to create some "Change" back in the direction that our forefathers had in mind. A country where God was important, where hard work was rewarded, and capitalism was the way to go.

Our country is "arrogant", or so says our president. Our forefathers fought hard for the freedoms we enjoy, and I'm ready to step up and do my part to make sure we get to continue to enjoy the American way of life. If we aren't careful the liberal folks in Washington will try to make us into a Socialist country.

The thing that amazed me today was the number of kids there were at the park. The rally was from 12-1. I heard several parents say they took their kids out of school so they could be at the event, and there were a lot of home school'ers there too.

You may think I'm crazy, but I don't care. If nothing else, enjoy the the pictures of the protest signs. There were some great ones!
