Looks like things are ready to "rumble" out here in email land... Tea Bag - What a Great Idea - Maybe they'll get the message - This is not partisan - They're all nuts

Tea Bag

What a wonderful idea, I just wish it had been mine.

I have a feeling that USPS is going to have a hell of a lot of tea to contend with, after
all it only costs 42 cents to send a message, hopefully heard round the world!!!

So please mark your Calendars

There's a storm a brewin'. What happens when good,responsible people keep quiet?
Washington has forgotten they work for us. Wedon't work for them. Throwing good money
after bad is NOT the answer.
*I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up
with a plan.
*I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they, themselves,
have defaulted on their taxes.
*I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations
and retreats on my dollar.
*I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that,
knowingly, bought more house than they could afford.
*I am sick of being made to feel it is my
patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes.
*I, like all of you, am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes.
*I live on a budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make.
*I have emailed my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package
as it was written without reading it first.
*No one listened.
*They voted for it, pork and all.

O.K. folks, here it is. You may think you are just one voice and whatyou think won't make a
difference.
Well, yes it will and YES, WE CAN!! If you are disgusted and angry with the way
Washington is handling our taxes.

If you are fearful of the fallout from the reckless spending
of BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need
to become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB
AND HOME IN AMERICA.

There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, thePresident
and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens. What is being done in Washington is NOT
the way to handle the economic free fall.

So, here's the plan. On April 1, 2009, all Americans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washington ,
D.C. You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire. Just a
TEABAG. Many cities are organizing protests. If you simply search, "New American Tea Party",
several sites will come up. If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard with
a TEABAG. Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of others that feel the same
way. Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in
the stock market speaks volumes.

This was not my idea. I visited the sites of the 'New American Tea Party' and an online survey showed
over 90% of thousands said they would send the teabag on April 1. Why, April 1?? We want them to
reach Washington by April 15. Will you do it? I will. Send it to; 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington
, D.C. 20500 ..

Forward this to everyone in your address book. Visit the web sitesfor more information about the
'New American Tea Party'. I would encourage everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to
mail, then just drop it in the mail April 1. Can't guarantee what the postage will be by then, it is going
up as we speak, but have your envelope ready. What will thiscost you? A little time and a 40 something
cent stamp.

What could you receive in benefits? Maybe, just maybe, our elected officials will start to listen to the
people. Take out the Pork. Tell us how the money is being spent. We want TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY. Remember, the money will be spent over the next 4-5 years. It is not too late.

Of course, if you agree with the way things are being done now, just
delete!!!!!
