Did you expect a daily rally or something? "Rome Didn't Fall In A Day" obviously means nothing to you. The revolution has begun. The 2010 electoral clock is ticking.

Your post presumes that all the anger that is harbored was vented on April 15 and there is none left for the 2010 elections. All I can say is....don't hold your breath.
But don't take it from me. Take it from the Democratic horses mouth:
"We have a daunting challenge ahead in the 2010 midterm elections," Democratic House campaign chief Chris Van Hollen says in a year-end Web video thanking supporters. "Many of our new members are from conservative areas with long histories of Republican representation. We are looking at potentially 70 — 70 — threatened Democrats who will need our support."
Since you are misinformed.............. On Saturday, July 4th, be part of the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party rally in your community. Help organize a local TEA Party. Obama adds 78,000 new employees to government payroll 2009 budget grows to a deficit of $1.8 trillion, more than four times higher than last year’s all time high and 50% of total budget Government spending is filled with pork earmarks like this: The National Institutes of Health will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.
Tax day will come and go, but it looks like the tea party movement is going to stick around for a while.
Rebecca Wales, lead organizer of the tax day protests in Washington, D.C., tells the Huffington Post that the tea party movement has only just begun. Additional tea parties are already in the works for Independence Day. (In the famous unpremeditated rant that got this whole movement started, CNBC's Rick Santelli said that he wanted a Chicago Tea Party in July).
"We already have tea parties being planned on July 4th," Wales said. "Somebody asked today [if we are] going to have a Million Person March. I don't know about that."
Despite wretched rainy weather and a lack of cooperation from authorities -- D.C. police

While WND has been tracking 34 upcoming tea parties across the nation, the American Family Association has posted a list of rallies in 366 cities and 47 states for July 4.
AFA is sponsoring Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties to be held at 12 p.m. in front of city halls across the nation.
The organization launched a Tea Party Day website before the Tax Day events so volunteer organizers may register their protests with AFA.
Taxes on the county level are getting pretty bad too. I'm seriously considering moving to a different county in OK. The one I am in has grown to be the highest taxed county in the state. My termite infested home is not worth the property taxes the mayor has put on it with all her complexes she is building......... which I will not use anyway.
Maybe most of the "protesters" finally figured out they got a tax break. Before their first party.
I never got a tax break - I pay more than ever. And I make WAY less than $250,000 a year.
And the movement is alive and well - if you actually did a little research, you would know that there are many events planned for July 4.
Unlike the fickle left, the right does things for the long haul. Commitment, determination, and an end-goal means this thing will continue on. It won't be replaced by the newest drama. We have longer attention spans than that.
