Are you all going to protest your tax breaks, or the 5% increase on the rich?

Oooh, I wonder if some new version of Billionaires for Bush is going!

Yeah, these lower taxes are breaking the back of the common man. Too bad the 12th is a Saturday, so I probably won't be in town to see if this event "measures up" to the two preceding ones. Those were about as impressive as watching people change trains at L'Enfant Plaza about an hour after a Nats game has ended. Woohoo!!!

I dont see whether they'll let you wear your assault weapons on the bus. Maybe they'll charge you extra for them... a freedom tax.

Spectacle? Sorry, the left wingers have the market cornered on creating a spectacle of themselves when they protest. You know all the trash, all the property damage, all the vulgarity, all the bizarre dress, all the ranting and raving, all the violence.

I am afraid you would find the tax protestors very boring if you are looking for a spectacle. I am scheduled to go since my brother lives in DC. I will let you know first hand if a spectacle is to be found.

I'm just brown bagging my lunch. I'm carrying a sign for my freedom of speech as my weapon of choice.

That will drive the Obama-Lovers crazy. They hate free speech. I'll be called a radical thug and part of a mob.

There are so many cool ideas. Why didnt we think of this sooner? dresses made entirely of teabags.... "T" Special Secret Signifier rings, necklaces, earrings... "dont tread on me" hats, haha... we have to develop great symbols and logos. Special tea blends to market... it's our next fifty million saganista.
