4 15 09 Tea Parties

Where is the news media? Today is the day that these tea parties are to take place. I understand there are two in Washington DC at Treasury and Lafayatte park.

I am interested in reading accounts today. Why is this old article one of the only ones showing up on a "search" on the topic? Sounds like a conspiracy of silence by the national media.

Thanks.

What Would Happen If...

a huge number of Americans, following the law, filed their income tax forms but were “careless” in their data entries. The tax forms and the tax codes are so complex that no one, absolutely no one, can get them right. So what does the IRS do with 10 or 20 or 30 million tax forms that are not correct? Wouldn’t that crash the system? Isn’t this in line with Gandhi’s peaceful protest?

term limits

We have always had the power to institute term limits. We need to vote out politicians who are not listening to us!

Our Government

We need an organized plan to vote out the current Congress and replace them with new Legal Citizens (with no more than half being lawyers). Every candidate must have at least several years of honorable business experience. Their current retirement program is to be cancelled reto actively and they pay Social Security tax just like everyone else. Effective immediately there will be NO political donations by private citizens, Corporations, Unions, Universities, etc. Everyone pays a 1% elections fee on their taxes that is distributed equally among 3 Parties. Any of the 545 politicians who are found guilty of a crime will be thrown out of office immediately. We want only honorable people serving us in Washington DC. One last suggestion. We could have a more efficient and less costly government if we cut the number of Senators and Representatives in half.

Send Tea Bags

Important! Send the label of the tea bag. Government will be suspicious of contents in bags, we need to send millions of letters that have the label of the tea bag in the envelope.
