Step right up!
Concept: you're given a megaphone and are standing in front of a crowd. Everyone has an opinion about the US economy and whether the government or leaders are doing the right thing - what say you? You have 30 seconds to make your point before you hand it over to the next person. No essays here - make your point, and see what the crowd thinks.
Suggestion: Read your message over and try to avoid making too many spelling mistakes. Don't include URL / weblinks or your post will be discarded.tea parties are not about bi-partisan politics. they are a rebellion against ineffective government. strangled by its own rules, regulations, policies, statutes and laws, our government can only demand more of our money while in essence it is a dead entity. you cant have taxation with representation when your government is a corpse!

What is this all about?
Our nation's independence movement was inspired by the Patrick Henry assertion that "taxation without representation constituted tyranny". We had no vote or say in King George's England on tax policy, trade policy, or tariffs.
Today, we face a different threat - one in our nations capital and leadership. Many believe that recent economic events have forced US citizens into accepting government oversight and control which we never agreed to.
Which begs the question: What Would Our Founding Fathers Do?
