Thanks for a thorough and clear presentation. I am so tired of the media bias, which really is understating the problem of no longer having a free press.

Marsha Blackburn is part of the problem.
Economic Stimulus. H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, passed 385-35 on January 29, 2008 (Roll Call 25). It would provide about $150 billion in economic stimulus, including $101.1 billion in direct payments of rebate checks (typically $600) to most taxpayers in 2008 and temporary tax breaks for businesses. Creating money out of thin air and then spending the newly created money cannot improve the economy, at least not in the long term. (If it could, why not create even more money for rebates and make every American a millionaire?) The stimulus has no offset and thus increases the federal deficit by the amount of the stimulus because the government must borrow the rebate money. A realistic long-term stimulus can only be achieved by lowering taxes through less government and by reducing regulatory burdens. Marsha Blackburn voted FOR this bill.(Source: The New American – July 21, 2008)

Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman.
She is no conservative.

Hey, thanks for the coverage. Even though I don’t necessarily agree with their message, I think it’s extremely important that everyone gets to express his or her opinions in a constructive way. Being the immature person I am, I just don’t understand why they had to use words like “tea-bagging”…

Love the ACORN sign…haha. Good to hear you all had a great rally. The ATL tea party was quite enjoyable as well. And LOTS of FairTaxers there, too. Lots.

Thanks for the coverage. Some sources were condemning Tea Party attendees as people who just didn’t want to pay taxes, and I think your coverage does a good job of showing that it was something more than that. If it was about not paying taxes, everyone could stay home and watch the clock turn over to 12:00 without pressing submit. The best message, it seems to me, is not about breaking the law, or even about civil disobedience. Rather, these are traditional rallies (even if organized through progressive means) seeking to draw attention to disfavored government policy, direction, and even overarching paradigm.

Thanks for the pictures and comments.
