If you want to know where tax day tea parties are being held in your state, you can click on your state, on this website, and it will provide the town's name and location.

Tax Day Tea Party

Maybe the national media will figure out how to use it, too, so they can actually mention them.

Look for the MSM to mention how small the crowds are if they mention these events at all. Maybe I'll go as Ben Franklin. Always admired his common sense. Anyways, mine's in Lansing. I'll definitely be there.

I saw mention of this on FOX "News" and nowhere else, and that in itself speaks volumes about the legitimacy of these tea parties. On the other hand, it's refreshing to see right-wing nuts take to the streets in protest - I didn't know they had it in them!

(And that's a terribly designed website ... the homepage should define what the tea parties are all about - don't make people hunt for the information. And using a color for the main header - Tax Day Tea Party - that makes it blend in with the background? Not good.)

Actually it speaks volumes about the media and its ideological beliefs.

Yeah I thought it was funny that over 4,000 where in Orlando and it was not on the news BUT when Bush was president, 4 people could be protesting him and all the news channels would be covering it.

They spoon feed us what they want us to know.

Why are people having Tax Day Tea Parties?
Read Ten Tax Facts at Ten Tax Facts for Tax Day Tea Parties - Press Releases - CNBC.com (http://www.cnbc.com/id/29990007 - broken link)

People are going to be laughing real hard when we have to start paying for all the spending.
Well, people who pay taxes that is. Hmmm, perhaps people who don't pay them also.
