Please try to attend your local Tea Party protest on April 15th. If any of y'all are planning to attend the Sacramento event, let me know. I'd like to meet some of you nameless-faceless folks.

CNN says that dozens of rednecks and racists are expected to attend.


Last Tax Day over 10,000 Californians came to the steps of the State Capitol to protest the fiscal irresponsibility of the State and Federal Governments of the United States.

At that time, California politicians were proposing a massive $16 billion tax increase disguised as "budget reform." The Proposition 1A tax hike was defeated following massive opposition from Tea Partiers and others demanding that our government live within its means. Despite being outspent by the forces of confiscatory taxation by over 20 to 1, the grassroots defeated Prop. 1A with nearly 2/3 of the vote.

The California Tea Party Patriots again rallied at the Capitol on August 28th to stand against another form of taxation by misrepresentation. Draconian environmental regulations have devastated the economy of agricultural regions where water pumps have been shut off by a government which values a three inch long fish more than California farmers. That day, we also demanded an end to California's version of cap and trade, AB 32: A law so far reaching that it will tell us what to eat, what to drive and where to live. This law, an ineffective and counterproductive attempt to stop "global warming" will both cost us our freedoms and devastate our economy with crippling new taxes and regulations.

California's Tea Party Patriots, like Tea Partiers across America continue to forcefully demand the defeat of President Obama's cap and trade proposal and his socialized health care scheme that will raise health care costs while lowering its quality. Our politicians are NOT our rulers. They are our REPRESENTATIVES. On Tax Day, we will demand either they start representing us or be voted out of office!

What: Nationwide Tea Party Patriots Anniversary - Sacramento
Where: State Capitol, North Steps
Date: Saturday, February 27, 2010

Nancy (Stretch) Pelosi,
You are not welcome in the Great State of Nevada for insulting everyday Americans.

Nickie, I'm thinking hard about going to Sacramento on the 15th ... I'll let you know. Oh, should I bring some astro-turf ?

Being in retail myself, I know of a tax increase of 16.66% leaved on all Californians a year ago. It is still in force now and you know it as the sales tax. The states share of the sales tax went from 6% to 7% without a word from the Capital. They just sent a letter to we retailers telling us of the change. I thought we had a law prohibiting tax increases of this magnitude without 2/3 of the voters saying OK.

LL, I'll be working as a Crowd Observer on the day. I'm expecting a few challenges.

Woody, I'm sure I'll be rousting you eventually. Be sure to say hello. Seriously, let me know so we can finally apply the sacred secret Goomba handshake.
