Went to one here in NJ. This is the first time I've gone in support of any protest. Didn't know I was a right wing, extremist. I just thought I was tired of being taxed to death. Heard at the rally that the total tax bill for average person in NJ is at 52%!!!!! Funny thing is they don't think we are paying too much in taxes.

Yeah, I checked out Goggle under my most common sign on, Wow, I am for sure on some list.

Think I might change my sign on at some sites.

Couldn't get to the party, but sent several tea bags to everyone concerned in the Government.

I think citizens should have free postage to Government addresses, this is getting expensive.

Ummmm....guys.....please pardon my ignorance....but, what is a Tea Party?

I have my own idea of what it might be...people sitting around a table, tea pot in the middle steaming away, cake and biscuits for all. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

Back when the USA was still the Colonies, the British paced very high taxes on all sorts of goods imported from England. One item that the taxes were exceptionally burdensome was the tea tax. I have also heard that the Brits were trying to take the Colonists guns away too, but I believe that was at a later date.

So anyway a group of soon to be patriots dressed up as Indians and dumped a bunch of tea into the Boston Harbor. This the original Boston Tea Party, and one of the things that lead to the American Revolution.

Ah, ok...thanls Lester.

I have heard of the Boston Tea Party and what it led to, but I didn't realise that it is now a celebrated event.

Cheers, Vince

One thing - Boston sure isn't going to host another tea party like that -too many liberals and tree huggers .

The "Tea Party" is being used to convey a message (public demonstration with placards and signs) to the politicians that we have had enough. A lot of us (not enough yet) are starting a Grass Roots movement.

And it's not about just taxes this time. It's spending, 2nd Amendment, illegal immigration, health care and many other obama and liberal ideas. We've had enough and we are going to be heard. Even democrats are joining us on this...
