Join Taxpayer Tea Party Protests Across North Carolina
Reckless Federal Spending, Trillions of Dollars of Debt and Proposed Tax Hikes Spark a Growing List of Tea Party Protests All Across North Carolina
Excitement is building as we get closer and closer to Tax Day on Wednesday, April 15 and not because we are anxious to file our taxes. There are literally dozens of tea party protests across the state on this date. And they don’t stop there! On the list below, you will see that the tea parties will continue after April 15, too.
Average citizens are bringing their friends, neighbors, children, and handmade signs conveying the message that, like the patriots of old, they don’t want high taxes, oppressive government or trampled freedoms. Chanting “Don’t Tread on Me” and “We, the People”, citizens hope their elected officials hear their voices.
We have been to three tremendous tea parties so far. See the photos and video coverage from Raleigh’s kickoff tea party at the Capitol on March 21, and enjoy this photo of an April 7 Wilmington tea party where hundreds of people exercised their right to assemble and protest on the Cape Fear River.
Please attend one or more of these events and help us spread the word. Our economic freedom is under attack and we must fight back. All of the events below are free and open to the public.
Events taking place on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 unless otherwise noted.

Together they formed an alliance wholeheartedly supporting the American cause against “taxation without representation.”

Citizen WElls 
In the spirit of the Tea Parties I offer;
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is tramping out the vintage where the GRAPES OF WRATH are stored;
While this may not seem like an appropriate response to most people to me it reflects the mood of most people that I know.
Citizen wells………Please take out my first comment I didn’t finish it before I inadvertently pressed the submit button

Dang, it wont be long before they monitor our medications, thermostats, food consumption, clothing expenditures, travels and gas consumption ……this is too scary
Sue….since when as a group of people who believe in upholding the constitution “radical?”
GIVE ME A BREAK!
SueK
This is the MOST interesting paragraph.
It further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.
As it’s been said many time, “Bring It On.”

I call for large-scale,Ghandi-type protests on the front steps of all DHS offices nationwide.We need to go 50% looking like liberal anti-war hippies and 50% white-trash redneck.

Hi Sandy, you tell me! There’s a press conference scheduled for this afternoon on this topic. Methinks it’s an effort to derail the tea parties on tap for Wednesday to ‘scare us into submission’ so to speak, and hope that we’ll be so frightened we won’t attend. Sorry, but this little threat won’t stop The Patriots of this country!

Radical? HA!!! Indeed, Rocknee, BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!! And when they’re finished, BRING IT ON AGAIN!!!!!!!!

April 15, 2009—Tax and Tea Party Protest Day—Show the World!
Millions of hard working, honest, patriotic Americans will be participating in tomorrow’s “Tea Party” demonstrations against Obama’s excessive stinkulus Bill and $400 trillion plus budget. I will not physically be part of the demonstrations, but will be there in heart and soul. I will be checking the news and the inter net to follow the parties. I will be holding you in the light of the Holy Spirit to protect you. I will be praying for your success. Most of all I will be sending you all the love I got.
I wish every person who will be attending one of the thousands of tea parties across America his/her fantastic success if it is for the highest good. Go there with the courage, conviction of your belief and your pledge of allegiance . . . of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
Be certain your signs are written big, bold, and very clear. Demand Obama to produce his birth certificate. Tell the world he has not produced one single document to prove he is eligible to be President. Call Obama a USURPER, IMPOSTER, OR FRAUDSTER. Tell America and the world about Obama’s crimes—Acorn (voter fraud), foreign campaign money, theft of Hillary’s nomination, Obama’s pure unadulterated lawlessness, his contempt of the Constitution of the United States. Wave your signs in front of every camera you see. Be peaceful. Speak softly. Stand tall. Hold your signs firmly. Show the world!
Be careful. Be very, very careful for there will be many Obama forces among you watching to discredit the tea parties, and you. They will observe and report you as threats to the government and sooner or later will silently take you from your home in the middle of the night. It isn’t just a matter of stopping Obama from his insane wasteful stealing of our money, he is a USURPER and must be removed from office. Read the following and know why it is so important Obama be removed from office before he completes his first year. If Obama completes his first year, it may mean the end of terms for Presidents and we may be stuck with Obama for the rest of his life! WND featured this article today. The following is only the first three paragraphs. You can read the rest at WND.
Homeland Security on guard for ‘right-wing extremists’
WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, states that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”
However, the document, first reported by talk-radio host and WND columnist Roger Hedgecock, goes on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.” . . . .

magna carta,
Dr. Orly for Attorney General and Max Keiser for Sec. of Treasury. Anyone keeping a list for 2012?
Rocknee,
I have a list for 2010 as I don’t think we’ll get to 2012 at this pace.
I’ll be interested to see on Thursday how the news media from all over the world handle coverage of the tea parties.
It’s for sure our own MSM will be asleep at the switch.
Hey CW, and others….check this out! I seen this on plains radio forum.
Looks like the infamous Snopes.com is nothing more than a husband wife team(more than likely liberals) who run the website out of their double wide trailer.
Snopes De-Bunked
I think Orly will be interested in this, as they have been intimately involved in protecting Obama birth certificate issue.
This is off the subject but….does anyone else think it is a HOOT that Mrs. Imposter must hire a make-up artist to fix up her face and hair daily!!! My, my….I think that classifies her as an arrogant American….one of those the USURPER was putting down on foreign soil!!!
The South.
You are correct.
They are big time libs

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, Jacqlyn, quite a hoot! Laughed my hair extensions off when I read that one. The only first lady (temporary) to ever hire a personal make-up artist.
Not much the professional will be able to do with her, though…especially those teeth! Don’t know how she’s able to close her mouth with that set in there. Reminds me of Sylvester Stallone. Hey, can we call her ‘Bucky?’
Bucky and Barky…what a wonderful pair-arrogant, aristocratic, and totally illegal!!

So, help me understand that thousands of law abiding citizens of the country, who pay taxes, fought/fight wars,drive the wheels of industry and commerce, should be considered “right wing extremists”.That hag should removed immediately.Homeland Security? To quote the President favorite phrase “You Guys”,I say pay attention to the real enemy , who has the power to bring this country down,Not Citizens who deserve taxation With representation.I am shocked that the Government would make reference to Veterans as being a “threat”.What are they thinking and who the H*** writes those releases?It ‘s a very sad day for this great country,They are concerned about the Tea Parties and We Will Overcome! and by that I mean rights for all of the citizens,and by the way the eligibility of the President will always be an issue, until resolved
Hey listen, everybody that’s posted on this website doesn’t know what they’re talking about. My ancestry dates back to the colonial days and i am still a proud Loyalist. No more tea parties please! You people don’t know what tea parties are all about anyway. Long Live the King! 😛 lol 😉
