St. Louis Tea Party

On Friday, February 27, 2009 several hundred liberty-minded individuals converged on the St. Louis Riverfront to join with other Tea Parties nationwide to protest to actions of our elected officials in Washington, DC.

The issue is the fact that OUR elected officials are not listening to their constituents. Every single one of these "bailout" packages that have come through Congress (Under either Bush or Obama) have been met with very vocal opposition from the American Public. And yet, Congress still passes these bills.

We want our Congress to listen to us again. That is why the Tea Parties are important. It's not a Red vs Blue issue. This affects all Americans. It IS truly "taxation without representation."

The real issue here is not who is in the White House, but the 538 clowns that sit and spend our money in the U.S. Capitol. Yes, the under the Bush administration there was a record deficit, I believe the final tally was around $5 trillion. The current Congress has already exceeded that number, an additional $5.7 Trillion, in only three months and we are just getting started.

You can tell who all the disgruntled McCain supporters are. They are the "angry, hateful" ones. They are the spoiled little brats who are still angry over losing the election and now they are back out to be angry all over again. They all need to grow up and have a rational discussion and protest. Their lack of respect is disgusting.

Welcome to what Conservatives endured throughout the Bush administration. "Angry, Hateful" libs denying that Bush was elected for 8 years. "He's not my President" was the rally cry, I believe. Did we whine and complain about it? NO!!!

Forgive us for having a protest after 3 months.

That's always the case! The left are just a bunch of obnoxious spoiled brats while the rest of us love our country and want to live in peace. The government is not protecting our constitution and therefor not allowing us to live in peace and prosperity so someone has to do something about it! I'm sure this is just the beginning!

@SuccessWithBryan The gross debt increased from 5.6 T in Jan, 2001 to 10.7 T in December 2008.

I think it is very showing that many people were holding anti-Obama signs less than a month after he was sworn in. The blame game started well before he actually got a chance to do anything.
