Update #2: George has recap at Rebane's Runinations.
One of our local bloggers, a former newspaper editor, questioned the need for Tea Parties and their effectiveness (sorry no link). Here are three good reasons from Newt Gingrich writing at Human Events:
• If you’re a 50-year old-with a college degree, you will pay approximately $81,000 over your working life just to pay the interest on the debt in the Obama budget.
• If you’re a 40-year-old, you’ll pay $132,000.
• And if you’re a 20-year-old, just starting out after college, you will pay a whopping $114,000 just to service the interest on the debt created by the Obama budget.
Now go back read that again. Not the principle, the INTEREST on the Obama budget. Can you afford these taxes on your wealth? Really?
We could not attend the Tea Party in Sacramento due to a prior commitments, but Ellen and I will be there is spirit. We hope that George Rebane, who is attending with his wife Jo Ann, can send us some pictures from his iPhone. If we get some pictures I will post them here.
Update#1: Pictures are being sent by George and Jo Ann Rebane who are attending the Sacramento Tea Party.(George Rebane writes Rebane's Ruminations)
