Bob Frantz from WTAM 1100 talks at the Cleveland, 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.

Bob Frantz is an uneducated redneck idiot! People like him are what's wrong with America. Overly-selfish, in it for himself, reactionary... the list goes on. I hope he loses his radio program soon.

I halfway agree with some of these views, but PLEASE tell me how giving bailouts to the very wealthiest companies and individuals who pay themselves $20 million to $500 million in bonuses
=
a left wing social agenda extremist
Leftists for Billionaires? That group?
Neo-Liberalism = FREE MARKETS for bankers, except when they need a bailout.
"socialism for the rich" is NOT socialism, it's an IRONIC phrase --- really economic fascism and plutocracy.

I"m seriously surprised.
Bob Frantz is correct about bailing out AIG and Wall Street, incl foreign banks.
Wait, he is WRONG about calling this bubble-and-popping a "housing crisis".
AIG wrote $60 Trillion of contracts on an insufficient capital base, and Wall St created some $1200 Trillion of Derivatives which have nothing to do with productive economy. Matt Taibbi wrote on that in Rolling Stone.
Socialists were American worker-slaves for freedom, and NEVER advocated bailouts for the rich.

i would just love to state that none of this has to do with race at all. disregarding the fact that obama was raised by a white woman, most peoples hatred of him comes straight from the examination of his politics. now i realize that people did not judge him by his socialist policies, otherwise he would not be in office, but as for those who cared enough about their country to look at who they were electing, they were not to pleased with what they found: a left wing social agenda extremist
