My parents will be attending the one here in Syracuse NY!

Unfortunately I will be unable to go (out of town), but I hope these are well attended so that the people will be able to send a message to the Government, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!.

"Excuse me while I take a Pelosi."

"Don't Tax me Bro!"

"honk if I'm paying your mortgage"

I did not make / take a sign, but a fellow near me had made a 2nd one to "give away". I was the lucky recipient of his hard work and could not have won more of a lottery that expressed my thoughts:

"I'll take the Constitution... You can keep the Change"

Can we get rid of the Federal Reserve System and Income Taxes?

Nope. They are pretty much here to stay unfortunately.

Judging from Obama's choice in Secretary of Treasury, he is not the president to abolish the Federal Reserve System.

Tim Geithner was President of the New York Fed.

Yes Kirk B, it will 4 times more money funneled out of mine and your pockets into those pockets of people and companies that don't pay taxes and/or who have not been responsible with their lives and funds. Yes I am hard on people/companies but you say quite the blame game, but when are people going to start taking responsibility for their own actions and quite mooching off of those that are hard working. I have yet in my life asked for a hand out, but the government seems to think they have the right to give money away even when they don't have any to give. To continue the rant, what does the government mean "Balancing a Budget"?? If you ever worked around "Government Bid Work" then you know that no matter what the budget was this last year they add a minimum of 10% for the next year, and the next and the next. How about they "STOP THE INSANTIY" as an old commercial used to say and start with last years budget and decrease that by 10% and call that the budget for 2009, then balance the budget. One way to accomplish that is to make it a flat rate tax a point of sale at 10% to 20 %. This will cut most of the IRS jobs in Washington because, no one has to invent, interpret or enforce tax code. And for most of America that normally files the "1040 EZ" they will save by not having the tax preparation people file the income tax. I better stop there; I will be here all day and have to have the government bail me out.

Tea Baggers and AM radio junkies need to learn the definition of Socialism.

Also, if you are truly concerned about Federal goverment overspending, please give at least partial credit to the Bush Adminstration and the Republican Congress. Why wasn't there a tea bagging when the federal budget went from a surplus to a deficit of a $trillion dollars under the watch of so-called conservatives?!

I think taxes are too high, particularly in my state. But, please get off of the blame game. Both the Liberals and Conservatives have over spent.

In my view, Conservatives are upset now, not merely because of too much spending, but rather, where the money is funneled to.

Kirk,
There's no need to associate legitimate political protest with a homosexual act. It reflects poorly on you no matter how funny Anderson Cooper thought he was and how cool you think you are by imitating him. Never forget the Tea Party Protests were not started by a conservative rant. They started with Rick Santinelli's rant on CNN. He said something that we all felt and I was standing there with democrats AND republicans, even some who had voted for Obama.

Yeah, the Bush presidency sucked at domestic policy but we've doubled Federal spending of the ENTIRE HISTORY of the United States in Obama's first 100 days....while he gladly tours shoving his nose up the asses of socialist dictators. I know what Socialism means. I used to live in Chicago and Boston. Do you?
