FYI

There is a local Tea Party here in town and for those of you that may be interested I thought I would post the info here.

This is a protest about the amount of money the government is currently spending (perfect for tax day isn't it?). For me, it's about not only the amount they are spending, but about the lack of deliberate representation our officials are giving their constituents on not only taxes, but on everything else as well.

It seems that as soon as many politicians get into office (no matter which party they belong to, it happens in both) they decided it is then time to forget campaign promises and what is right for the people they represent, and that it is now time to only look out for #1 and their own political agendas and careers. I'm tired of it as I'm sure just about anyone that keeps up with politics is.

This protest is billed as nonpartisan. Though people do tend to get more riled up about current politicians than past.

Anyhow, if you are interested: It is on Memorial Drive between 6:30 and 8 pm. It includes activities (though I can remember the specifics at the moment, sorry).

Alrighty now, stepping down of the soapbox :)
