I think all the libs should attend and offer to pay EVEN MORE in taxes since they think odama's policies are our only hope.

We need to have a burn Washington to the ground party.

Great idea! Let's get on that real fast. That means all of our reps will have to come home and face us and justify what the h$%% they have been doing all this time.

Careful y'all!

Free thinking, disagreeing with the Government, discussing anti-government rallies, why the Men in Black will be after you all!

Obama doesn't have his secret police assembled just yet.

Ron, they are working on it...recent TV ads calling for "service", "City care" or some variation on these topics, very subtle in appearance but laying the ground work...

I plan to attend the one in Huntsville unless I see something coming together for a Florence party soon.

Here’s a tea party that was cancelled by the government for fear of crowds. The city feared more than 500 people would show up.

Yet they allow thousands of vagrants and left-wing radicals to gather on the National Mall and completely trash it any time they want.

I haven't heard if its BYOB.

People need to get informed of their representatives of Alabama. They might find that our representatives are not representing the people of Alabama that make less than $200,000 a year.
Wait and see, These right wings will sucker some one making $50,000 a year to protest with them, while they laugh at them behind his/her back. Sad! People need to get informed.

I live in Alabama. When I call or write my Congressman or Senators, I get the Republican party line. It is not easy being a Democrat in the South..

Blue dog has no idea what he's talking about. This isn't being organized that way.

At least our Alabama represatives did not commit treason by siding with brown hitler obama. The one that sided with him commited treason. It is time to get rid of the libs on both sides of the aisle.

That's exactly what his plan sounds like. Funny that he would embrace such a hitler-esque idea.

It's because there is no "Democrat" anymore. There ARE millions of former Democrats still here but they are now known as Independents and Republicans. All others are just defacrats.

I believe you are referring to "The People's Socialist Democratic Party of America"...

1. Free health care for everyone.

2. Wealth redistribution, aka, Spread the Wealth Around.

3. Federalized (nationalize) banks and automotive industry.

4. Re-instate the Selective Service Draft (to make sure all rich kids serve).

5. Write/Pass more Hate crime laws...special laws for special people...we are no longer equal under the law...

6. Federal funding for abortion on demand.

7. Approve Social Security and full medical benefits for all illegal immmigrants.

8. Strengthen the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to control broadcast radio and television, to minimize or eliminate extreme right wing broadcasters who incite people to think for themselves.

9. To support the government of Mexico, Second Ammendment rights will be suspended and all weapons confiscated.

It will be interesting to go and see how many bluedogs attend. It will also be very interesting to see how many people making 10,000,25,000 50,000, 75,000 and 100,000 a year to support the 200,000 plus a year and the very rich who is protesting Obama's tax breaks for the middle class.

So you’re going to the tea party and ask people how much they make? You’d be better off participating.

No, I will not ask anyone anything. You can see and hear much. It will be interesting.

I hope the tea parties generate interest to take our country back from the government. If not, the government will soon be controlling everything. And we all know how inadequately the government operates.

The government? Are we not the government? We the People?

Not any longer. We have become the people depending on the government. Not a good thing.

Knowblewdog-

Didn't you get the memo? Those supposed tax cuts have been "put on hold". But we all are getting tax increases, though.

The GOP's first goal was to prove that it had serious, credible ideas of its own. Republicans then said they wanted to demonstrate that the government could re-embrace fiscal responsibility, pursuing goals while reducing the deficit.
So far, the republican party is failing badly in both categories.

Failing badly, yes, but hasn't come close to stooping to the levels of this administration.

Your obviously not watching CSPAN/CSPAN2. Interesting debates recently. Including the facts the dems have been in control of congress since 2007. Congress are the ones who actually pass the budget. Therefore, the budget Obama "inherited" from President Bush is actually the DEMOCRATIC congress's budget. And they are at it again. It's sad, amazing and informative to watch what they say and how they are acting in congress. Today the dems were complaining they might not get out of town by tomorrow (spring break for congress) if they had to vote on all the amendments. Reids solution - 10 minute vote and discussion on all amendments, Oh and they passed that bill limiting pay for non performance...hmmm...reckon we can limit THEIR pay?

Republicans are full of contradictions. Downright hypocrisy might be a better description.

Only when you are looking at them from the socialist side of the wall.

The way it has been under the Bush tax plan, if a person making $200,000 plus a year gave $100.00 to charity, he could write off 39% verses someone who makes $50,000 a year gives $100.00 to charity, they get to write off 28%. For some reason, I don't see that as a fair tax. More of a tax break for the rich than the middle class under the republican plan.

That is because the deduction they get for charitable donations is the same as the tax rate they pay on their income. If you are taxed at 35 percent, you can take a 35 percent deduction on your charitable contributions. If you are taxed at 28 percent....well, you should get the picture by now.

Interesting for sure.

Hate to bring this up but it is the rich man who puts most Americans to work. They are much more likely to hire more people and pay better wages if they haven't had their pockets picked by uncle sam.

When will the repub party ever give up on trickle down economics? it don't work will not and has never worked. I'am not saying any thing the present administration has done will work, but they did not get in office because of what has happened in the last two years of jrs term. The economy was already tanking in jrs. second year of office. America was ready for change, and whether its for the good or bad we will see. I think both party's are to blame for the situation we are in. I thank their are members of both rebup and dem parties who are respectable and have our nations best interest at heart, but there are equally others who don't. It will be our responsibilty at election time to vote these people out of office . Whether it be obama, or members of congress, I'am an american first regardless of party affilation.

The 4 Boneheaded Biases of Stupid Voters
(And we're all stupid voters.)

Almost all the “respectable” economic theories of politics begin by assuming that the typical citizen understands economics and votes accordingly—at least on average. By a “miracle of aggregation,” random errors are supposed to balance themselves out. But this works only if voters’ errors are random, not systematic.
