Tea Party

Well today is April 15th. For every other year this day is a very sad day. One that reminds me that my government likes to take my money and after they take it, they want to give it to who ever they think deserves it. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "sounds like robbery", pretty much.

But not today. No today was a good day. It was cold and rainy. The wind was strong and the ground was muddy but it didn't matter. Today was the first day in which we stood up and said, "enough". Almost 900 like minded individuals gave up our lunches, personal and vacation time and stood out in that cold rain at International Park in Downtown Toledo. We came to send a message to every level of government informing them that we are tired of out of control spending and tax anything that moves policies/programs.

We're tired of new flowers and government ran "private" business when our streets are filled with pot holes and our cops are being laid off. We're tired of bridges to no where and bailouts for companies and banks that made horrible business decisions and are now reaping what they sowed.

Yes today was a good day. Possibly one to remember but one thing's for sure, it must not be the only day of it's kind. Government is like my 2 year old. He listens to you until you walk out of the room. We must continue to remind government we are here and we refuse to leave the room.
