Ohio Tax Day Tea Party April 15, 2009.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
The single largest failure of Americans today besides thinking one person cannot make a difference, is not staying informed and not getting involved. The Tax Day Tea Party must serve as the first step in changing that.
WHAT TO DO?
Get involved in local issues. Your voice is most powerful at this level. Force your local elected officials to take a stand on issues - even if it is not a local issue. Urge your local elected officials to assist in contacting elected officials in higher offices. Do not take - "there is nothing we can do," as an answer. Politicians are elected to represent you - not give excuses of what they can't do. We must force them to do their job or force them out of a job. This must happen at all levels of government.
JOIN OR START A GRASS ROOTS GROUP
There are 9/12 Meet Up groups http://www.912project.com starting up all over - join one! You will find other like-minded Americans in which you can discuss and debate current events and plans of action. Be mindful, a majority of grass roots groups fall apart when there is no cause - this is the importance of being involved in local issues.
EDUCATION / MEDIA
Often you are urged to contact your media about biased coverage. While good, it is like putting lipstick on a pig. Don't fight them on their field, fight them on yours - get informed! Utilize the Internet for the ever powerful tool that it is. Use the Internet to educate yourself with other sources of information. Use the Internet to inform yourself, your neighbors, family members, friends, etc.

You know what? The Past IS the past....and you canNOT bang over the spilled! If something IS to be done, it can't start 'yesterday'. It has to start today....'somewhere'. And it's not about spewing 'hate'. That is NOT productive. But we MUST NEEDS begin to shun the things that engendered this kind of situation and it starts with a unitization and motivation TO unify in a positive sense. It IS sad, alot of attitudes held, that is 'human'. But we CAN make a 'change' in unity!

It is great that people are motivated to demonstrate on the ideas; however, where were these people during the Bush attrocities. How about proposing ideas and a directionr rather than spewing hate.
