This is absolutely wonderful: It's not my idea, but I sure think it's worth passing on!

Yes....it's a little wordy -- but worth it. For a change someone has come up with a good way to let congress know how we feel.

Please help out!

There's a storm abrewin'.

What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet? Washington has forgotten they work for us.We don't work for them.

Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions. I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their taxes.  I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. I am sick of being told that it is MY responsibility to rescue people that knowingly bought more house than they could afford. I am sick of being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes.

I, like you, am a responsible citizen.  I pay my taxes. I live on a budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make.  I have emailed my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written, without reading it first.  No one listened.  They voted for it, pork and all.

Okay folks, here it is.  You may think you are just one voice

and what you think won't make a difference.  Well, yes it will and YES, WE CAN!!  If you are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is handling our taxes.  If you are fearful of the fallout from the wreckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need to become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME IN AMERICA.  There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens.  What is being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free fall.

So, here's the plan.  On April 1, 2009, all Ameicans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washinton , D.C.

You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire.  Just a TEABAG.

Many cities are organizing protests.  If you simply search, "New American Tea Party", several sites will come up.  If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard with a TEABAG.  Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of others that feel the same way.  Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in
the stock market speaks volumes.

This was not my idea..  I visited the sites of the 'New American Tea Pary' (www.americanteaparty.com) and an online survey showed over 90% of people said they would send the teabag on April 1.  Why, April 1??  (April Food's Day?)

We want them to reach Washington by April 15.  Will you do it?  I will.

           Send it to   : President Obama and Congress

                               1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
                                Washington , D.C. 20500 .

Forward this to everyone in your address book.

Visit the website above for more information about the 'New American Tea Party'.  I would encourage everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to mail, then just drop it in the mail April 1...can't guarantee what the postage will be by then, but have your envelope ready.

What will this cost you?  A little time and a 40 something cent stamp. What could you receive in benefits? Maybe, our elected officials will start to listen to the people:  Take out the Pork!
Tell us how the money is being spent!

We want TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

Remember: the money will be spent over the next 4-5 years.  So It is not too late to have your voice heard!

Of course, if you agree with the way things
are being done now, just delete!!!!!
