The Tea Party Movement

I don't know who started the first one or who had the idea to protest under the Tea Party emblem, but can you see the irony of it? Such an important part of our historic fight for freedom and oppression from the British is reborn in the protest against higher taxes 200 plus years after we bought our freedom. And it has grown into movements of another kind: those in control seek to silence our very freedom of speech. Their bullying tactics will push through Obamacare if we don't stop them.
I understand the fear factor. The people rise up against the government and threaten anarchy. True, there are some anarachists ready to take guns in hand and storm the government offices, but actual everyday citizens are just voicing their God given right to do so. Perhaps there is so much shouting is becuase the government won't listen to what we have to say.
But they're afraid of us, folks! Afraid that we'll upset their apple carts filled with healthcare plans that can only fail. That we'll turn the voters against the administration that they worked so hard to put in place. Congress is the puppeteer and they pull Obama's strings and push and pull him in the directions they want him to go. Not that the insurance programs we have now are perfect. They need overhauling but not at the expense of the elderly. Not at the expense of people's jobs. This plan will bankrupt the private care insurance companies and put even more people out of work. Since Obama doesn't know what's in the plan, it makes you wonder whose plan it really is. But I think we know, don't we?
Leave the insurance companies alone. If you can't run the government programs you know have, how can you possibly run a new one?
You don't have the money, Mr. President! And you promised you would cut taxes not raise them on 95% of the American people. Did you lie, Mr. President?
You are not fulfilling your campaign promises, Mr. President. Don't be surprised if we fire you!
If a Tea Party is organized in your area, throw your support behind the movement (for more information go to www.reteaparty.com). If it worked once, it can work again. Lift your voice and let it be heard, politely, please. But the louder our voices, the more they will have to listen. Because, and this is the truth, we are the power! Not Congress, not the President, but the American people. Stand up for America!~
