The phenomena of the American Tea Party movement is growing like a snowball rolling down the mountain. All across this state and the nation meetings are held to organize people into a force equal to the enemy…big government!
In Chico, the meetings that are held at Logan’s Road House on Tuesday evening at 7 pm are reaching near maximum room capacity. All the people showing up who typically say they never show up to such things are coming out now and they’re mad! They are expressing their discontent and giving patriotic speeches, this is exciting stuff folks! It’s democracy at it’s best! As a lady sitting next to me said, this must have been what it was like back in the 1700’s as the United States was being born. I’ve heard that sentiment expressed many times and I agree, It is really something to see.
People, we are witnessing something here that is big, really big. Nobody knows exactly how it will all play out, but one thing is certain, this is no flash in the pan movement. It’s gone way beyond the old “United We Stand” movement and in half the time!
In Chico, we like to refer to ourselves as a “non-partisan mob” and that is pretty accurate. We pay no dues, we have no officers, we have no regulations, but we DO have an agenda! That agenda is to force our state legislature and our federal government to listen to us! We are not asking, we are telling them – you better stop the horrible waste, fraud and abuse you have committed as our representatives and stop growing government!
We want to counter the unrestrained growth in an incompetent, unresponsive, top heavy government in the only way we know how, by a massive force of numbers! We intend to send the politicians in Sacramento and Washington a real clear message: “Stop it! We’re disgusted and angry for being taxed and regulated to death! You stop your crazy spending or we’ll stop you! We’ll come after you personally and we’ll force you out of office. We’ve got the numbers to do it!
We’ve had it with being over-taxed and over-regulated! It doesn’t matter if you are a republican or a democrat…we see both parties as failing the people. We see you both guilty of spending us into the poor house, and just because one party does it slightly slower than the other it doesn’t let them off the hook. Both sides… must stop the wild, irresponsible spending!
The Tea Party movement is about peaceful resistance, but make no mistake…
We would sooner see the death of treasonous politicians who are undermining the Constitution, than to sit by and watch the slow death of a free America.
