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?
