There has been an ongoing discussion at my house over the Tea Parties that have been springing up all over the country. The discussion has been about just how relevant are they and what will they accomplish. Like the first Tea Party…they hold a symbolic meaning…but unlike the first Tea Party, they do not have the economic impact that it did.
As everyone (I hope) knows, the first Tea Party was the beginning of what truly formed the USA. It was a blow to England economically, due to the taxes on the Tea was a big part of their monetary hold on the colonies. BUT, the Tea Party was also the colonists way of sending the clear message: Taxation Without Representation will NOT be tolerated.
Now the Tea Parties of today are NOT having the same Economic impact. BUT the symbolic impact is the same. To use a more “modern” phrase… “We are Mad As Hell, And Are Not Taking It Anymore!”
Will Washington take notice??? To be honest…who knows? But only through public awareness and joining together will the Tea Parties and the 912 project movement rattle them. If you live close enough to join into one…do so! If not, maybe start one in YOUR town. You can also show your support to the cause by writing blogs, word of mouth, writing letters to your newspaper, Congressmen and Senators, Watching Glenn Beck on Fox News (Awesome!), or checking out Glenn Beck’s site and signing up for his newsletter, and joining in on conversations on the vast network of supporter websites, such as The-912-Project.com. You can even show the world you Support the Tea Parties and The 912 Project with customized tea party event T-Shirts from United T-Shirts.com . (Great way to go to your Tea Party Event in Style!)
There is so many ways YOU can send that message….so get going, check out the sites, and remember….one voice may not be heard….but a chorus of thousands of voices will be….. You are NOT alone.
