This might be more effective if tea was sent to your two senators and congressman as well as the Pres.
There's a storm abrewin'. What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet? Washington has forgotten they work for us. We don't work for them. Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a plan. I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their taxes. I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that, knowingly, bought more house than they could afford. I am sick of being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes. I, like all of you, am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes. I live on a budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make. I have emailed my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written without reading it first. No one listened. They voted for it, pork and all.
O.K. folks, here it is. You may think you are just one voice and what you think won't make a difference. Well, yes it will and YES, WE CAN! If you are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is handling our taxes. If you are fearful of the fallout from the reckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need to become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME IN AMERICA. There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens. What is being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free fall..
So, here's the plan. On April 1, 2009, all Americans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washington , D.C. You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire. Just a TEABAG. Many cities are organizing protests. If you simply search, "New American Tea Party", several sites will come up. If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard with a TEABAG. Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of others that feel the same way.. Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in the stock market speaks volumes.
I would encourage everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to mail, then just drop it in the mail April 1. Can't guarantee what the postage will be by then, it is going up as we speak, but have your envelope ready. What will this cost you? A little time and a 42 or 44 cent stamp.
What could you receive in benefits? Maybe, just maybe, our elected officials will start to listen to the people. Take out the Pork. Tell us how the money is being spent. We want TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Remember, the money will be spent over the next 4-5 years. It is not too late.
This might be more effective if tea was sent to your two senators and congressman as well as the Pres.
What can we Lose?

Semi-OT Galloway gives money to Hamas....
British MP gives money, vehicles to Hamas in Gaza
"We are giving you now 100 vehicles and all of their contents, and we make no apology for what I am about to say. We are giving them to the elected government of Palestine," Galloway said at a press conference in Gaza City.
Galloway said he personally would be donating three cars and 25,000 pounds (35,000 dollars) to Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniya as he dared the West to try to prosecute him for aiding what it considers a terror group.
"I say now to the British and European governments, if you want to take me to court I promise you there is no jury in all of Britain who will convict me. They will convict you."
Galloway made the announcement at an outdoor conference in the presence of several senior Hamas officials, and his words were greeted by shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Great).

30 | Doda McCheesle Tue, Mar 10, 2009 10:22:39am |
It's part of the new White House get-tough-on-terrorism policy- they know those paper "condemnations" don't really mean anything to terrorists; but the Prez. will sit down and give 'em a good stern Mike Brady like talking to- now THAT will set 'em straight. Specially if they're grounded for a week and can't go skiing.

Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . .

Posted this the other day:
Obama Administration throws Lebanon and Israel under the bus re: Syria and it's support for terrorism:
( Question from Reporter)- The second question is, without asking you to delve into any of the details of your conversations today: first, if you could give us a sense of your itinerary going forward; and secondly, we must bear in mind that these are discussions you’re having with representatives of a country that is still on the State Department’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism, and I wonder if you could, again, without delving into the areas that you specifically discussed, give us a sense of how actively you believe the Syrian Government is still engaged in terrorist activities in and out of the region. Thank you....
....AMBASSADOR FELTMAN:
....In terms of Syria, FTO, et cetera, as I said, we’ve got concerns with Syria, I’m sure Syria has concerns with us. Today was an opportunity to start to raise some of these concerns with each other directly, in addition to the dialogue that takes place already between our embassies and officials in capitals. You know, the reason why Syria is on that list is because Syria is playing host to some organizations like Hamas, you know, and we believe that Syria is supporting groups like Hezbollah. I think everyone knows why Syria is on that list.
But you know, my job today was not finger pointing per se....
[Link: www.state.gov...]
In other words, the US no longer gives a damn about Syria's support of Hamas and Syria's role in undermining Lebanese territorial integrity and it's support of Hezbollah.
The most important thing is that we have PEACE, according to Obama.

Of course he says that knowing fully well no one in the govt. of Britain has the balls, integrity or fortitude to prosecute him, although they absolutely SHOULD.

It's really just part of pattern.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which mimics everything the State Dept says, met last week and invited just two Jew-haters to speak on it's "U.S. Strategy Regarding Iran" hearing:
Another point of controversy last week was Thursday's meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft -- former national security advisers for Presidents Carter and George H.W. Bush, respectively -- were the sole witnesses for the "U.S. Strategy Regarding Iran" hearing. "When Brzezinski used his short opening statement to say Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be cautious about listening to Israel's ideas, the red flag really went up," one Jewish leader told the Jerusalem Post afterward.

I have been watching this insanity with a mixture of confusion and awe. You know, I grew up in a really crappy trailer on a really old farm. Most of my family either lived in trailers on farms or in trailer parks; a few were modern-day sharecroppers. And yes, I spent a very large part of my youth barefoot, often with chicken crap between my toes because of the free-range roosters. We fulfilled pretty much every cliche about Kentucky you can imagine, even the family tree that didn't fork much.
And yet -- I would not have been so stupid, thoughtless, careless, clueless, or whatever-less as to have done the things these guys have done. I was raised right, just poor. I look at these guys, and their little cronies who look down at people with my background simply because we were poor and patriotic, believed in guns and God, and I wonder: where's all that polish and sophistication? I thought a privileged education bought you sophistication and worldliness as well as a couple extra classes and the right connections. Was I wrong here? I mean, what the hell?
As bad as I imagined things would be when the zero took over, I never imagined he would be this clumsy with foreign affairs. Somehow, I thought that even if his lack of experience got in the way, he'd have some smooth operators around him who knew better. And Hillary -- my god, she spent eight years running the wifey arm of the presidency, seemingly smoothly, in spite of Bill's issues.
This is worse than amateur hour. This is the reason you don't let the kids eat at the big table. Downright embarrassing.
Worst of all, a president who cannot even handle the simple diplomatic niceties without dropping the ball - well, that's as much as putting a sign on the country's back that says "Kick me." And when the big kid in the playground is exposed as a big doofus, EVERYONE comes out to pick on him.

Brown and the Brits), had his Sec. of State show his gov't as incompetent boobs to one of our great rivals (Russia and the "Re-set" button), and now acts with indifferent disregard to the suffering of our closest ally in the Near/Middle East (Israel). And we are only seven weeks into his administration! I can't wait to see how Pres. Obama handles: Chinese aggressive tactics with the US Navy (still waiting....), North Korean aggressive tactics with commercial airspace and space itself (still waiting...), Iran and its Nukes (still waiting...), the drug cartel war along the US/Mexican Border (that could be really ugly...), just to name a few. And of course there is still Hugo Chavez, the Castro Brothers, the Chinless one in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Chad, Congo, Bolivia, and of course the big nuts of Iraq and Afghanistan just to name a few of the problems the POTUS faces.
