I do not know about you

Folks-

I do not know about you but with every news cast I find myself getting more and more angry. I live in Vermont. I am watching people like Bernie Sanders, Pat Leahy and Peter Welch continue to vote for things I am not for, and neither or the people I talk to.

We have given money to people not being held responsible, voted money for states that are not ready for it and continue to not be represented in our states.

Here are some examples
Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2009, and for other purposes
Welch votes yes!
What? My house is slowing up, my businesses are slowing and we are in conserve mode, how can we see this through? Do we keep spending?

I think it is time for Vermont to rebel against all this.

One of the main organizations, the DontGo Movement, put out a press release with more details:

Building on the success of the Nationwide Chicago Tea Parties held [in February] in multiple cities around the nation, conservative grassroots organizations and free market activists will once again come together on April 15th to protest out-of-control government spending. Timed to coincide with the date by which Americans must pay their federal income taxes, the Tax Day Tea Party effort will be coordinated by Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter and the DontGo Movement (www.dontgomovement.com), in addition to other center-right activist groups.

Plans are under way for rallies to take place in nine American cities, with more sites to be added in the coming weeks. The goal of these protests is to call attention to the unprecedented wasteful spending by Democrats in Congress and the Obama Administration.

When asked about the need for nationwide rallies based on the Boston Tea Party of 1773, Eric Odom, Chairman of the DontGo Movement, remarked, "Building on the free market ideas of our founding fathers, and embracing the passion they shared to bring them to light, the Nationwide Tea Party Movement is giving voice to tens of thousands of Americans." Added Stacy Mott, President of Smart Girl Politics, "Average Americans do not support mortgaging away our children’s futures, and the time to speak out against it is now."
