America Is [REALLY] TEA’D Off

I guess enough is enough, huh? Now, if anyone believes that President Obama wasn’t aware of the AIG bonus’ then I guess I can sell the Brooklyn Bridge afterall….

There are so many things within this administration happening all at once but let’s concentrate on the taxing issue for this post.

Apparently enough people are “mad as hell” because on April 15 The American Family Association, or AFA, is coordinating 1,000 Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties to be held at 12 p.m. in front of city halls across the nation. The organization launched a Tea Party Day website just days ago so volunteer organizers can register their protests with AFA. The website also provides a list of other protests across the nation that are not organized by AFA.

Don Wildmon, founder and chairman of the sponsoring American Family Association, says the TEA parties have touched a nerve with average Americans. "There's a tax rebellion coming if Congress and the president do not deal properly with this," says Wildmon. "I think that President Obama has gotten himself a problem that is above his pay grade -- and we're just hoping that people will respond."


Michael DePrimo, special counsel to AFA President Tim Wildmon, said that AFA has been inundated with e-mails from citizens who want to attend or organize tea parties in their own cities. In a press release, Wildmon says Washington's economic solution thus far could have detrimental effects on families for generations. "We cannot spend our way out of debt," states the AFA leader, "and we find it immoral to pile debt on our great-grandchildren."

The April 15th protests are inspired by the Boston Tea Party in December 1773, an incident which protested British taxation on the American colonies without representation in Parliament. An Internet site for the rallies is TeaPartyDay.com. Michael DePrimo, special counsel to AFA President Tim Wildmon, said that AFA has been inundated with e-mails from citizens who want to attend or organize tea parties in their own cities.

What, No G5s?

While Madam Speaker is thinking about creating another stimu-lie for us, her selfishness, oops, I mean her unselfish spirit amazes me. For instance, according to Judicial Watch, Ms. Pelosi, repeatedly makes demands on the military to personally shuttle her and her family... at our expense, not hers. Now honestly, while many of us are loosing our shirts, doesn't it "feel good" that we are working hard to keep Congress living the life that they're accustomed to? Anyway, read on:

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country, according to a new report from a conservative watchdog group.

Representatives for Judicial Watch, which obtained e-mails and other documents from a Freedom of Information request, said the correspondence shows Pelosi has abused the system in place to accommodate congressional leaders and treated the Air Force as her "personal airline."

Pelosi's office disputed the claim, pointing to White House policy enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks allowing for the House speaker to travel to his or her congressional district via military aircraft whenever possible for security reasons. Her office said she typically uses the same kind of aircraft used by her predecessor, Dennis Hastert.

But Judicial Watch said that Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations and racking up additional expenses for the military.

The e-mails showed repeated attempts by Pelosi aides to request aircraft, sometimes aggressively, and by Department of Defense officials to accommodate them.

"I think that's above and beyond what other members of Congress are doing and what is expected of our elected officials," said Jenny Small, a researcher with the group.

In one e-mail, aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available any aircraft the House speaker wanted for Memorial Day recess. "It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable ... The Speaker will want to know where the planes are," King wrote….” Read More

Madam Speaker, what a gal she is at that!
