I wish that I could have been there though... I think that they are important, and hopefully through them at least some change (good change, not "Hope and Change") can be enacted.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994659431007272552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761263119703618582.post-52978260800599863092009-04-16T19:01:00.000-05:002009-04-16T19:01:00.000-05:00A little bait and switch there!

I don't know what the ultimate answer is...term limits, benefit limits, budget (their own for their staffs, etc) limits...<br /><br />It's sad that politics has become so negative that "the people" don't want to become representatives of "the people" because the experience would be so heinous.Swizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321392265281175031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761263119703618582.post-6114679325160876392009-04-16T15:01:00.000-05:002009-04-16T15:01:00.000-05:00I haven't been able to attend any of the tea parti...I haven't been able to attend any of the tea parties but I have been keeping up with them, as most of my time on the internet is spent hanging out on some conservative blogs. This is truly a grassroots movement. A lot of people are getting fed up with the insane spending spree the government has been on and they're determined to put a stop to it. <br /><br />I heard of one California politician who showed up at a tea party and got asked to say a few words. When he got to the podium the M.C. lit into him for voting in favor a California's recent 16 billion dollar tax increase.backwoods conservativenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761263119703618582.post-14183158290366686062009-04-16T13:22:00.000-05:002009-04-16T13:22:00.000-05:00UPDATE: Heard on the radio this morning that Atla...UPDATE: Heard on the radio this morning that Atlanta's Tea Party (which I've been told means <B>T</B>axed <B>E</B>nough <B>A</B>lready) was the LARGEST one in the nation.

I have heard murmurings of these Tea Parties all over blogdom and Facebook though.
