bethereorbesquare. Brilliant, this is the kind od info. every true American needs to see and hear about.
Mayor Fienstein of godd old san francisce is married to an exporter who of course specializes in CHINA EXPORT TO THE U.S.A.
They have manipulated the laws and have become BILLIONAIRES
THIS MAKES ME SICK
wE NEED TO BREAK THE MONOPOLIZED MEDIA AS WELL!
I was a proud participant in the Sarasota, FL T.E.A. party! It was great to see the thousand or so patriots in attendance. I am so digusted by the media and their coverage or lack of coverage, and also with how the government portrayed me and all those in attendance. This is what Washington thinks of me? We should be afraid if honest, hard working people expressing an opinion and constitutional right, are labled in this manner. Let’s keep this momentum going, the squeeky wheel will, eventually get the grease! P.S. I don’t know who they were, but the two gentlemen who “ran” the Sarasota tea party need to be commended! Great job!
Maybe one of our first official post-April 15th actions should be to demand the government create a website with our ‘public information’ request including:
-Net worth of Senators and House Representatives going into office and their present worth after X many years in office
-How much is their government salary?
-What are all of their perks?
-What is their health care plan?
-What is their retirement plan?
-Current accumulated campaign funds available to place in personal bank accounts at retirement (if this is true)
-How much have they given to charity since holding public office? They sure want all of us to support the non-working by raising taxes, but let’s see what they’ve willingly been donating through the years.
Give them 30 days to create a .gov website for these facts to be available for every American to view. They should already have this info as a matter of public record and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be presented in a simple to read and understand online format.
I think our first action should be getting legal direction on pursuing term limits for our national representatives. This would effectively “vote out” all of the politicians that have gotten our country into this fiscal mess and place real “in touch” Americans back in D.C. Personally, I’d have no problem speaking to people at WalMart or Target about why we need to get the professional politicians out of Washington. Heck, we could even make it retroactive (i.e., effective immediately) since the gang in D.C. doesn’t seem to mind placing unconstitutional retroactive laws upon the rest of us!
In that light, has anyone ever compiled the data showing:
-Net worth of Senators and House Representatives going into office and the millions they’ve accumulated by retirement?
-How much is their government salary?
-What are all of their perks?
-What is their health care plan?
-What is their retirement plan?
-Is it true they get to place any remaining/accumulated campaign funds into personal bank accounts at retirement?
Getting the facts would definitely help us in obtaining the signatures!
I have listen to everyones comments about the idots who ignorant remarks were made about our Tea Parties,but now it time to let it go. PROVE THEM WRONG,WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY! Let’s starting discussing the next one,and the next one,because right now we are standing still.exactly like they want us to do.
We think that there were around two thousand or more at the Manchester NH rally. It was really wonderful to be there and see people taking charge of their futures. Now where do we go from here? We need to united across the country and let government know that we are not going away and we will vote them out.

WE are proud to be an American in this GREAT U.S.A!! And apart of this meaningful, great movement!
Let us keep focused and get moving on!!
This is not about black or white..its about the RED, WHITE AND BLUE!
It is GREAT to be involved in something important.
So HOW do we keep on track and growing?
HOW do we show others that we are not just looking out for “ME”?
WHERE are the obvious areas our money was wasted?
WHO has been given millions (billions) and shouldn’t have? AIG for example is a multi-national corporation. How much porkulus/bail out money went out of the country?
WHICH groups received money and have sent jobs out of the country?
WHAT questions will help our friend and neighbors to open their eyes? Then if we know where the answers can be found, help our fellow countrymen find the answers to their questions.

I don’t know who that woman was that dressed down the CNN reporter off the CNN camera, but damn it, I owe her a 72 oz. steak. GREAT JOB FIGHTING FOR US!
I am 65 and this is the first time I have seen a true grass roots political movement. I would suggest anothern scheduled tea party protest fay the Fourth of July with a massive demo in Washington D.C. For the movement to be successful it must focus on the problem- politicians addicted to tax and spend. We need to identify these individuals then vow to turn them out of office. Otherwise, all our demonstration and protest efforts will be wasted.
CNN…WHEN CABLE TV WAS AT ITS INFANCY, I WAS A TRUE CNN FAN. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD FULL COVERAGE ON “DESERT STORM” AND MANY OTHER STORIES. YOU WERE THE VERY BEST. YOUR REPORTING WAS INTERESTING AND ALWAYS FAIR. NOT THE CASE ANYMORE. I AM EXREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR REPORTING. I WILL NOT GO INTO DETAIL, HOWEVER…YOU MAY WANT TO RECONSIDER AND CLOSELY MONITOR YOU NEWS REPORTERS. I CAN NOT GIVE YOU THE NAME OF THIS LADY WHO WAS COVERING ONE OF THE TEA PARTIES BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHO SHE IS. WHAT I CAN SAY IS THIS, I HAD NEVER EVER WITNESSED A REPORTER AS DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL AND ABSOLUTELY RUDE AS THIS WOMAN. THIS WAS NOT NEWS COVERAGE…THIS WAS AN ATTACK ON A PERSON WHO WAS PEACEFULLY AND POLITELY EXPRESSING HIS RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. CNN IS THIS u n b i a s … REPORTING ??? TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO REVIEW THIS INCIDENT ON YOUR TAPE. AND, YOU BE THE JUDGE. WHAT SAY YOU ???
In St. Louis, MO, the MC opened up by saying, “We are here to leave America better than we found it.” I think that captured the idea perfectly. It’s forward looking, not backward looking. What’s happening now is like what has happened in some of the established companies. The executives are looking at short term gains now for personal profit, but completely ignoring the effects of the those actions on the long term outlook of the company.
I haven’t read all the comments, I’ve read alot of them and i haven’t seen anything on Alexandria Louisiana or Ball Louisiana. I attended the Alexandria Louisiana teaparty and I am no good at estimating but I would guess that there were well over a thousand people. The Alexandria levee amphitheater was overflowing with people standing all the way around the amphitheater as all the seating was taken .

Here are a couple of favorable commentaries on the Tea Parties:
