Tea Time

My cousin Nicole and I attended a "Tea Party" at the old courthouse on Center Street yesterday to protest the insane bailout spending that our government has been up to lately. I'm not an economist, and I'm not the most knowledgeable about American politics, but I do know this - spending money you don't have is not fiscally responsible for people or for governments, and it will catch up to us one day.

If you agree and want to do something about the direction our government is headed, write your congressman. Here's the website to find out how you can get in contact with your state representative:

...or senator:

All that needs to happen for evil to win is for good men (and women) to do nothing. Let's not be part of the silent, complaining majority any more. Our government officials don't hear the gripes we make to our co-workers, siblings, or neighbors, but they will hear us if we contact them. They will hear news media about protests to the things they're legislating. So God bless America, in so much as we are still willing to stand up for her!


Here's some pictures from the Tea Party. There were Tea Parties in 750 American cities yesterday (according to the Daily Herald).
