8 more Tea Parties coming to Waco.By Brian Collins
WACO - TEA Party planner Toby Walker said Wednesday eight
more tea parties will take place in Waco before the next presidential election after hundreds
showed up to protest government spending Wednesday.
"This is shocking to us because we did not expect this many people,"
said Walker. Thousands of protestors showed up at rallies across Texas including
in Waco and in Belton. Some protestors were heard chanting "secede," at a TEA party in Austin.
Protestors in Waco said the next step is getting voters out for the May election.
"When you start bringing to the for front that you can actually
become empowered by voting, what's going to happen is there's going to be a lot of people who
never had interest (in politics) are going to start voting, and they're going to start waking up,"
said Joe Cline, a protestor at a Waco TEA Party.
Walker said TEA Party coordinators across the county are forming
a coalition to share resources. If politicians don't shape up, Walker is working to
help new candidates replace them. "We're going to help people learn how to run for congress or local
office," said Walker. Help them in that process whether they're republican or democrat and then
we're going to be the watch dog say this is what they're spending your money on.
On Saturday, July 4th, be part of the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party rally in your community The Tax Foundation says that because of unprecedented budget deficit over $1.5 trillion, it will take each individual until May 29 to pay their taxes this year. On May 30th, you begin working for yourself instead of your government. This is wrong! Join others in your hometown and across the country by participating in the American Freedom Day rally. We suggest you have your meeting at noon in front of your city hall, but you will make the decision on where and when the rally will be. Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who: vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it? are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying? consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected? want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others? punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not? admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda? run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China? want government controlled health care? want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections? refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country? appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department? want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will? want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels? want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts? take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget? If so, participate in the TEA party rally, the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party. Bring your cell phone and call Congress and the president while attending the TEA party rally (Representative and Senators, 202-224-3121; President, 202-456-1414).
