My Tea Party Speech Excerpts

Mainstream media is saying that only right wing radicals will be here, but I see a cross section of main Street America.
This is not a Republican or Democrat Issue. – This is an American Issue.
All over the Country today people from many walks of life are saying - Enough is enough.
Stop out if control spending – We can’t work fast enough to support our Government's spending habits.
Seniors who are living on a fixed income need their money for other rising expenses like heating bills and grocery bills.
Huge tax burdens are being passed along to our children. They will be deprived of the opportunity to pursue the American Dream.
All individuals should have the right to pursue their livelihood in their own way, free from excessive government regulation and government-subsidized competition, which they like to call bailouts.
FREEDOM is the real issue.
The government’s appetite for property tax dollars will keep growing until we the people speak up and demand that our elected officials listen.
We the people are tired of politicians spending money on their own pet projects and not respecting the will of the people.
Elected officials work for us. They seem to forget that once they get to Washington DC or Denver.

The Washington DC view of the economy can be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And, if it stops moving, bail it out.
Americans are currently slaving away 3.5 months, or 28.2% of each year to satisfy the governments appetite for taxes.
How many months of the year will the next generation have to be a slave to government spending?
They are robbing us of our freedom to spend our money on our own families. And they are robbing the next generation.
It is time to put the elected officials who are supposed to be serving us on a diet.
It is time to give the power back to the people.
