Tennessee Tax Day Tea Party

[dunndw]

Wednesday April 15th there will be numerous Tea Parties held in Middle TN.

Pick the one closest to you and plan on attending.

Rumor has is that ACORN and/or the Huffington Post is planning on "covering" some Tea Party events in their own special way. You know, stir up trouble and get it on tape so they can use it against us.

Now the next question is: Is the plaza off limits to HCP holders?

Thanks for posting that. There was no way I could get to the one downtown but the one in Mt. Juliet fits the bill nicely! I can just scoot over after work and bring the beans!

[timcalhoun]

I'm there. Nashville that is.

[Guest dwrd]

I am going to try to hit the one in Franklin, as I will be at work during the big one downtown.

[bteague2]

I might be able to make the Knoxville one.

[Guest clownsdd]

Little more info would be helpful, when I clicked on the Memphis site, it wanted me to register for facebook, ain't gonna do that.

Count me among the Knoxville attendees.

[Garufa]

These symbolic tea parties are a great way to get out and display some type of disgruntlement with the government or the general state of affairs in this country. But are those in power listening? Are they attending? Where is the mainstream new coverage?

How many people are showing up? Few, I would guess. But I only estimate based on the fact of these things are not reported well, and I have a job to go to everyday.

I'm all for Civil Disobediance but I just hope that whoever is in charge at what ever time (Liberal, Republican, Democrat or Conservative...irrelevant) is truly paying attention to the people.

Oh, and who gets to do the tea-bagging?

[Glenn]

Is World's Fair Park in Knoxville an actual city park? In other words is it off limits to carry?

Glenn

[Guest SUNTZU]

Watch out for FEMA!!!!one!!eleven!

Dunno.

Open carry folks have to worry about that sort of thing.

What the hell are you guys protesting exactly? You guys do know taxes haven't really gone up, they've actually gone down for 95% of us right? guess you all make over 250k...

All arguments aside, where the hell were you guys the last 8 years?

Obama has done more good 80+ days than the GOP did in 2 terms, you should be ashamed of yourselves, acting like traitors against the good :tinfoil:of our country.

and Palin for VP? Really? C'mon... almost insanity...

I know I'm making no friends here, but I implore you, please think it over at least...

[BryanP]

I'll be very close to the Nashville event. I'll be peering down from 13 floors up.

[Oh Shoot]

What the hell are you guys protesting exactly?

Oh, how 'bout...

Trillions of tax dollars going to bail out poorly run companies and fatcat upper management, while individuals get a couple of grand tax cut and a hearty "good luck brother".

Taking my taxes to use for a Social Security Ponzi scheme that makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker.

Putting the US into so much debt that before long half the federal budget will be needed just to pay the interest on our national debt.

Printing so much more money not backed by anything but US "good faith" that almost surely will create huge inflation rate as soon as deflation is contained.

Many others, these just off top of my head...

It's time for many things in America, equitable tax (I like Fair Tax), term limits on all levels, securing our borders, less Federal involvement in most EVERYTHING, etc, etc. The various states' rights resolutions submitted and/or passed by the various state legislatures are telling - even the state level crooks are protesting against the tyranny.

I think it's probably as much an expression of general displeasure as anything.

I'm planning on wandering 'round the Knoxville one, just to finger the pulse.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Take some hand sanitizer.

[Oh Shoot]

Take some hand sanitizer.

Yeah, mingling with the great unwashed can be messy.

Also, if you shake any public officials' hands, you have to count your fingers each time.

Yup!

[Guest SUNTZU]

You really think that there will be public officials there? (This is a legitimate question, not sarcastic.) I know a lot of people are angry about what is going on, I just don't think that standing around at a Tea Party is going to do anything. I'm predicting a rash of break ins at people's homes who have announced to any and everyone that they are going to this. I guess I just don't feel that Obummer is going to deign to notice that the rabble is restless.

[bteague2]

Anyone planning on going to the Knoxville tea party want to try to meet up?

[Oh Shoot]

I kind of doubt it, but then again, there may be some on the agenda to speak...I have no idea, and can't find any exact agendas of the various gatherings...I guess there might be pols who feel they are "maverick" enough to make some mileage out of the protest....

Well, I don't expect much change to come about from it, but then again, I'm just impressed that something, ANYTHING, has actually been organized to the extent that this has nationwide. Hell, you usually couldn't spend a million bucks and get a thousand folks in one state to actually meet for anything...so in honor of just the gesture itself, I think I'll show...

Gotta start somewhere.
