From Tea Parties to The 912 Project, Americans are challenging the out of control tax and spend policies of government on all levels.
On August 28 from noon to 5pm thousands of Californians will once again march on the Sacramento Capitol as part of the Tea Party movement to protest a government that has spun out-of-control and is infringing upon their freedoms and overburdening industries which compose the very fabric of California; mining, construction, ranching and farming.
Since Democrats took control of Congress and the White House, conservatives, independents, libertarians and disaffected democrats have become increasingly vocal opponents of the policies they see as growing government spending and power. They've taken to the streets in growing Tea Party rallies to decry the stimulus, last year's bank bailout, the current health care reform efforts and debate over cap-and-trade energy legislation.
Now the Take Our Country Back PAC, has joined forces with the Tea Party movement to organize a 16-day national tea party tour, taking their small-government message to towns all over the country. Two 45-foot buses will snake their way across America, conducting a series of 35 tea party beginning in Sacramento Aug. 28 and ending with a “March on Washington” Sept. 12.
Although Tea Party participants started out as a group coming together to protest wanton government spending and taxes in general, the group is beginning to pick targets, like health care reform and ecologic law blocking business. At the August 28th rally in Sacramento the theme is simple: “March on Sacramento, Save California from Big Government Eco-regulation.”
Thousands of farmers, ranchers, loggers, miners and others from across the state will gather from noon to 5pm to speak out against policies, such as AB 32 a law passed in 2006 that will impose more greenhouse gas emission limits on businesses beginning 2011.
Last week the Obama administration raised its 10-year budget deficit projection to approximately $9 TRILLION. This from the administration who promised to halve the deficit by the end of his four-year term. Coupled with a Pelosi-Reid Congress that has shattered spending records this year by a cool trillion Americans are rising up to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Americans of all political persuasions have grown weary of politicians forcing taxpayers to pick up the tab for their wasteful spending instead of working together to make the tough fiscal decisions Americans are forced to make each and every day. Together these patriots are protesting policies put in place by both Republicans and Democrats that see to make people beholden to their government.
It is now time to restore this nation’s true values, including the goodness of the country, belief in God, honesty, family, justice, hard work, and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
