Neighborhood Invitation - FOR WEDNESDAY APRIL 15

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

On Wednesday, April 15, 2009 there will be a Tea Party at the intersection of Hartz Ave. and Diablo Rd. to protest the reckless and irresponsible spending that is going on in our state and Washington D.C. This Tea Party is in support of Tea Parties being held across the U.S. on tax day, April 15.

Everyone is welcome! This is not a liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican protest activity. There is enough blame to go around in D.C. We are truly concerned about the direction or country is going and the future burden we are placing on our children, and rather than feel helpless victims, we need to take action that can make our voices heard as they are supposed to be.

The schedule of events is as follows:

12:00- 2:30 pm Meet at the intersection (sidewalk)

4:00 - 6:00 pm Meet at the intersection (sidewalk)

Put it on your calendar. Please bring your sign. Use your imagination but be sensitive to other protester’s feelings!

Please RSVP to npctax2000@aol.com or (925) 930-9002 indicating how many adults and children you plan to bring. Please just stop by to watch if you want. The more the better. Sign or no sign.

Thank you!

SORRY! Meant to post the above comment in the "State, National..." section.

I had chosen that section from the drop-down menu, but the comment posted here.

To Rick: Please realize that these so-called tea parties are being financed by wealthy Republican elites, simply interested in getting Democrats out of office.

Try this... bring a sign that says "Soak the rich!". Watch what happens.

To Logan: The financing of Tea Parties is a myth. Most parties do not need to be financed as average Americans are just meeting up at public places to protest. Also, if being financed by a wealthy partisan invalidates grassroots movements, George Soros has invalidated all Democratic movements.

If you think taxes and spending are out of control, please come to our Tea Parties regaurdless of the lies being spread about them.
