Tens of Thousands Prepare to Gather in Their Local Communities in Protest of Socialism
Tax Day Tea Party – Huntsville, AL
Huntsville, AL – Following the lead of CNBC’s Rick Santelli’s call for a “Chicago Tea Party”, DontGo Movement (www.dontgomovement.com), Smart Girl Politics (www.smartgirlpolitics.ning.com), and tcot (www.topconservativesontwitter.org), worked together to successfully organize over 50 protests across the nation, where over 30,000 people attended. Those were basically “spontaneous”, last minute efforts…organized in literally days.
Building on the success of those February 27th Tea Parties, the word went out from those sponsors about organizing Tax Day Tea Parties, and asking for volunteers in any/every city in the USA. That grassroots effort is called “Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party”.
Presently Michelle Malkin, Dana Loesch, and GOPUSA, are co-sponsoring the movement. This week Newt Gingrich announced his decision to step up to the plate as a co-sponsor.
The Tax Day Tea Party has been taking the nation by storm; to date, there are over 150 cities with confirmed events nationwide.
Huntsville, AL is one of those cities… Christie Carden is the volunteer organizer of the local protest (www.taxdayteaparty.com – click on Alabama). “Right now our country is deciding what its foundation and direction will be: limited government and Capitalism or big government and Socialism. It is time the American people stand up. Our message to Congress for this rally is: ‘Repeal the pork; Cut Taxes.’” said Christie Carden.
Americans are crossing the political divide, and joining together by the tens of thousands, to protest the fact that government intrusion doesn’t work. “A la the 1773 Boston Tea Party, we’re fed up with the taxation and the government takeover brought on with the Stimulus Bill and the numerous other bailouts. There’s only one proven way to create jobs and that is by cutting income taxes and wasteful spending” said Eric Odom, Director of the DontGo Movement.
The Obama Stimulus Plan will be borrowing an unprecedented amount of money. It is the largest giveaway in American History. Even the Congressional Budget Office says that the Stimulus Bill will create few jobs in 2009 and 2010, but will instead cause dangerously high levels of inflation as the Federal Government lets the Treasury printing presses run indiscriminately.
Communications Director Juliana Johnson states, “We will be heard. The politicians have not been listening to us and we are fed up. If a Tea Party is what they need in order to listen to us, then a Tea Party is what they will get.”
The Tax Day Tea Party in Huntsville, AL will have at least four speakers, including Matt Chancey, Paul Sanford, Sam Givhan, and Chuck Bailey.

Given the size of the National Debt, I’m not a big fan of cutting individual tax rates (I am in favor of keeping the Bush tax rates and certainly don’t support increases). I do think that cutting business taxes is good for the economy.
Stopping the ‘Stimulus Plan’ (pork and payoff plan) and cutting spending sounds best to me…

APRIL 15TH TEA PARTY—@ YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE—THE ONE OPEN LATE—-MEDIA WILL BE THERE—BRING YOUR SIGNS—3 PM TILL……….. THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED……………..
We need a REAL change in Washington. George Bush, Bill Frist and Denny Hastert destroyed the republican party. We’re tired of rascals running as conservatives who are anything but. The current clowns in power are there because of the disastrous policies of the Bush administration. Insanity is defined as continuing to do the same thing expecting different results. Perhaps REAL change can be found in the Constitution Party. Let’s party…tea party that is.
The debt burden is huge and taxes will be increased on future generations.
I will be there. This crapp has got to stop!
We’ll be there, but not really sure what all the fuss is about, America did vote for change after all.
Well, Kilobyte-myass this is not the change we had in mind! Are you happy with the direction this country is goin in you same-sex marriage advocate.
Kilobyte, who is we? You’r post say’s WE’ll be there. Are you by any chance a follower of moveon.org?
Hey BE, ‘We’ as in family. We voted for McCain, BTW. My post was sarcasm in case you failed to notice that.
Kilobyte, If i misread your blog i’m sorry. I did not vote for Osama opps, i meant Obama. But we do need change in Washington, we need to clean house! We also need term limits on congress.
I will definitely be at the Huntsville location protesting this garbage. It is funny how conservatives have to have their events during lunch hours. We are the ones footing the bills for this crap. I agree, congress does indeed need term limits. I also believe you should not be allowed a vote if you receive money from the government in the form of welfare during any given voting year. I know it sounds harsh but come on it is a legitimate conflict of interest. If we keep rewarding sloth like behavior and punishing productivity more and more we will all be dependent eventually. Socialism/Communism always takes time before the full effect is realized. If we keep down this path, within 50 years we will all be in a bread line.
Hi To Everyone
I live in the Huntsville area and would have loved to attend the local Tea Party, The only problem is it was held from 12:00 to 13:00. This is the time when most people like me are working to Pay The Dam TAXES that our government is using to pay for this Crap. I think more people would attend if it were held later in the day. I suggest that next year (If we are aloud to have a Tea Party next year) that we should hold them after all the good Tax Paying Workers get off Work. Keep up the good Fight.
