From Tea Parties To The 912 Project, Americans Are Challenging The Government
By Thomas D. Segel
August 18, 2009
Be it the Tea Party gatherings, or a 912 Movement that will march on Washington, Americans are at the end of their patience in dealing with a government that is running amuck.
In Sacramento, California citizens have formed a national "Tea Party Express" that will be conducting a series of 35 tea party rallies across the United States to oppose the Obama Administration's healthcare proposal. Their caravan will start in California on August 28 and travel eastward arriving at their destination just before a massive 9/12/09 Taxpayer March in Washington D.C. Television ads will be run in advance of the 35 rallies as the Tea Party Express travels across the country.
Charter buses have been arranged for Tea Party members heading for Washington from Richmond, Virginia. By the first day of August four bus loads of protesters had been confirmed and many more people were expected to sign up for the trip to the Capitol.
Rio Grande Valley Tea Partiers will fly to Washington. Protest marchers from Arizonian, Wyoming, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota and Hawaii have also reported they are planning to be in Washington for the big event.
In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas three Tea Party organizations have been formed that are drawing large crowds in the cities of McAllen, Harlingen and Brownsville. This is taking place in what is considered the only area in Texas dominated by the Democrat Party.
If the emails copied to this office are correct, hundreds upon hundreds of Americans have been reporting themselves to the White House enemies list. They have been very detailed about speaking out on what they find wrong about our government.
This writer and other writers of political commentary have joined those who speak out disapprovingly about what is going on in Washington. We have been making sure our articles were also sent to the White House
. Those groups speaking out for constitutional government have also been among the masses sending emails of protest to the "fishy comment" address of flag@whitehouse.gov. Sadly, that address, it was announced today, has now been removed from the White House website. This means Americans must find another means of addressing their displeasure.
Glenn Beck's 912 Project is also heavily involved in the Taxpayer March.
The television commentator's movement calls upon Americans to restore the nation's true values, including the goodness of the country, belief in God, honesty, family, justice, hard work, and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Beck and Fox News Channel plan to cover the 9-12-09 marches on Washington.
Tea Party Patriots are planning to gather at the Hyatt Hotel on Capitol Hill. The overflow crowds will be quartered at nearby Liaison and Washington Court Hotels.
Of course, the Democrat leadership is still attempting to denigrate all of the anti-government actions taking place. With their attacks on groups and individuals, they are not diminishing the movement, but instead are adding fuel to the flames. It will be very interesting to observe the culmination of all these events when the march takes place in our nation's Capitol on September 12, 2009.
