Wow...we had over 500 people at the Roanoke Tea Party, held Wed. April 15 at 5 p.m. on Wiley Drive near the footbridge and the Roanoke River.
Thanks goes to organizers Sharon Nicely and Elena DeRosa for their hard work and planning to make this happen.
The speakers started a little after 5 p.m., due to problems with the bullhorn. Kudos to the young man in the red Tshirt who donated his good bullhorn for the cause. Many groups were represented there...I spoke to several independents and Libertarians.
Spending and deficits were the #1 topics among the speakers. Most were upset at the Obama Administrations’ putting our future generations in mountains of debt. One speaker told a young girl that her share of the debt is $186,000. Several spoke of taxes out of control and excessive debt.
Many in the crowd were Fair Tax supporters and the Fair Tax people held a concurrent rally at the Downtown Post Office from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., speaking with those filing their taxes at the last minute.
I hope people will take the next step and call or write Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner, asking them to REJECT the inflated Obama budget. I understand Obama’s 5 year budget will add $11 Trillion in debt to America. Obama alone will add more debt that ALL OTHER President’s before him, COMBINED!
Did you know that Obama’s stimulus bill of $1.2 Trillion is more money that the ENTIRE 1982 Federal budget??
Please join me in keeping the Tea Party spirit alive and stop the Democrats in leadership from bankrupting America!!
