British Citizens Embrace Tea Party Protest on the One Year Anniversary of the American Tea Party


Today is the one year anniversary of the American Tea Party. At this time last year, Freedom loving patriots from around the United States answered the call from Rick Santelli when he suggested that it is once again time to have a Tea Party to protest Government spending and growth.

So today, as Americans again gather to celebrate the creation of one of the greatest movements for Liberty the United States has known, the Tea Party protest is going international.

Lovers of Freedom and Liberty in England are now taking up the call and having their very first modern day Tea Party today. According to an Article in the Telegraph.uk, the Freedom Association is holding a Taxed Enough Already(TEA) Party to protest "Excessive Taxation":

"The Tea Party Movement in the USA has demonstrated the huge scale of public opposition to excessive taxation. In the UK, tax is much higher and, in addition, British membership of the democratically unaccountable EU raises the issue of "no taxation without representation". From the Boston Tea Party to the Brighton Tea Party, it's time to demonstrate our opposition to excessive taxation."

The British Tea Party will be held in Brighton England at the Best Western Hotel at 5:30 p.m. They will be serving, of all things, actual Tea.

I wish our Freedom loving counterparts across the pond all the best in their efforts to curb their out of control Nanny State.

While they are at it....they may want to remind Parliament that King George III didn't listen to us either....

OFA Manufacturing Calls to Radio Shows in Support of the President's Health Care Plan

It would seem that the President's Astro Turf Group, Organizing for America(OFA), needs a little hand when supporting the President's Agenda. Here is an E-mail from OFA that explains how they want their members to call into Radio Shows in support of the President's Plan:

"President Obama gathered with congressional leaders of both parties yesterday for an open, honest, and productive discussion on health reform. It was a strong success, focused on substance -- as CNN put it, "a win for our country."

While disagreements remain, the meeting uncovered considerable areas of overlap, including many Republican ideas that were already in the President's proposal. And with all the best ideas now on the table, the President made it clear that no excuses remain: Congress must put aside partisan divides and swiftly complete a final bill.

This is a message the whole country needs to hear, but most people weren't able to watch all seven hours of today's summit -- and we can't let the special interest spin machine drown us out. That's where you come in.

Check out a few of the best moments from yesterday's historic event. Then, help spread the word using our brand new "On the Air" tool to speak out on talk radio.

The President was crystal clear about his commitment to pass reform that puts Americans in charge of their own health care, reduces costs, and expands coverage for tens of millions without insurance. We've come too far to scrap a year's worth of work and start over. And the millions of Americans that are suffering can't afford another year-long debate. There's simply too much at stake.

Yesterday's bipartisan meeting was a huge step forward toward passing reform. And today, you can help make sure we go the rest of the way:


Thanks for making it possible,Mitch

Mitch Stewart
Director
Organizing for America"

Now after Reading this Email I decided to follow the link. And Surprise, OFA not only supplied the phone number to different Right Wing radio Shows, but supplied their talking points and instructions on how to deliver them as well. Here is a Screen Shot of the "Discussion points":



If that isn't enough OFA even gives their Astro Turf callers tips on how to talk to the Radio Show:




Isn't it nice to see that Obama is not only allowing Lobbyists in his administration, but using his own private "Army" of followers to Lobby the American people through right wing radio shows by creating astro turf calls in support of the President's Agenda?

I guess they didn't call him a community organizer for nothing. Too bad he is trying to Organize the United States into a Socialist/Marxist Un-American type community.

Obama Says He is Pushing through Health Care and"If the Voters are Unhappy with the Results that is what Elections are For."

According to an Article on Fox News, President Obama is planning on pushing ahead with his Screwed up Health Care Plan no matter what:

"At the conclusion of the televised showdown, which was aimed at finding common ground between the two political parties, Obama said Republicans had only a matter of time to decide if they would jump onboard.

"If we're unable to resolve differences over health care, we will need to move ahead on decisions," he said, alluding to using reconciliation, a controversial maneuver that prevents a GOP filibuster by requiring only 51 votes to pass legislation."

But he also has a message for those of us that don't want his Health Care Shoved Down our throats:

"Obama added that if voters are unhappy with results, then "that's what elections are for."

Van Jones To Teach At Princeton

According to an Article on World Net Daily(WND), the self proclaimed Communist and Former Green Jobs Czar to President Obama will be getting a job teaching future generations at Princeton.

Princeton announced today that:

"Jones has been appointed a visiting fellow in the Center for African American Studies and the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at the university's Wilson School.

Noliwe Rooks, associate director of the Center for African American Studies, told the Daily Princetonian Jones will also conduct research and host discussions on such subjects as "the next phase of green jobs, environmental policy [and] environmental justice."

Van Jones in an official University statement said that:

"he looks forward to "exploring solutions to our nation's toughest challenges with the students and scholars of Princeton."

"America is at a crossroads, facing economic and ecological crises. The next generation of job-creating, green solutions will be even more challenging to conceive. And they will be even more difficult to implement."

I guess in order to work at Princeton, having the fact that you are a Radical Communist isn't a negative, but a plus.

St. Louis Tea Party Celebrates One Year Anniversary

The St. Louis Tea Party will celebrate the one year anniversary of the tea party movement on Saturday, February 27 at 1:30 p.m. on the steps of the Arch.

One year ago that day in cities across the country Americans answered Rick Santelli’s call to protest against excessive taxes, wasteful spending, and irresponsible government. Fifteen-hundred citizens stood under the Arch and the St. Louis Tea Party was born.

Since that time the St. Louis Tea Party has emerged as one of the preeminent and most active tea party organizations. Their April 15, 2009 Tax Day Tea Party drew 10,000 people to Keiner Plaza; area tea partiers have participated in town halls, various rallies, have organized petitions and “buycotts.” The tea party movement is credited for victories in New Jersey, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York’s 23rd district, and stalled such government grabs as a faulty health care reform bill and cap-and-trade.

The St. Louis Tea Party will start promptly at 1:30 p.m. and end at 2:30 p.m., rain or shine. Participants will hear from a small group of speakers before dumping tea leaves (please remove from, and properly dispose of, all bags) into the Mississippi River. No pitchforks. Signs cannot have sticks/poles. Parking is available on the cobblestone for $4 or attendees can use Arch parking. More information can be found at

Obama Wants to Create a "Major New Authority" According to OFA

Here is an Email from the President's Organizing for America in which they describe the President's New health care plan. In it they claim Obama wants to Create a "Major New Authority", surprise, surprise...

"Yesterday, the White House released President Obama's health insurance reform proposal. It bridges the gap between the House and Senate bills, includes ideas from both parties to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse, and puts American families and small business owners in control of their own health care.

And it creates a major new authority to help states crack down on insurers who propose unreasonable and unfair rate hikes -- like the ones we saw just last week in California and Maine.

It's a proposal that combines feedback from the health debate with the President's longstanding principles on reform -- and it's a bill that any member of Congress can support. But we know Big Insurance won't like it one bit.

Before too long, their attack ads will be back up on TV and their misinformation campaign will be up and running. They'll have one goal: convince members of Congress that its bad politics to support reform.

So it's more important than ever to show every member of Congress that if they fight for reform now, we'll back them up this election season.

OFA supporters have already pledged to volunteer over 7 million "You fight, we'll fight" hours. Join them by pledging today.

The President's bill is a combination of new provisions to crack down on insurers and eliminate waste and abuse, and targeted changes to the Senate bill to include ideas from the House and the President's own priorities.

It makes insurance more affordable, sets up a new competitive health insurance market, lays down commonsense rules to bring greater accountability to health care, ends discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and cuts the deficit. And it strengthens the Senate bill, adding new provisions to cut down on waste, make sure middle-class families are protected, and closing the Medicare Part D "donut hole" coverage gap.

But health insurance companies don't care what's in the bill. They're fighting to preserve the status quo that benefits them -- even though it's disastrous for our nation.

This proposal means reform is moving again, but the clock is ticking. We can't wait to show that insurers are wrong when they claim members of Congress who vote for reform will suffer at the polls -- but we need every committed supporter to pledge:

Brown Votes With Democrats On Jobs Bill

It would seem that the Victory in Massachusetts was more of a paper tiger than a real political change of Direction.

According to an Article on Reuters, Republican Scott Brown, highly touted as an important election because of " Tea Party" Type voters, is now one of only 4 republicans that are joining forces with the Democrats in voting for the President's Job Bill.

The reason Mr. Brown Gives for siding with the Spend, Spend, Spend Democrats is that:

"the bill was not perfect but would help put people back to work.

"I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington," he said in a statement."

So Will Scott Brown be for the Tea Party what President Obama is to the Progressives......

A Disappointment......?
