Atlanta Tea Party February 27 2009 – Videos

Who needs a trillion dollars? Line up and the government will give you what you need, unless of course you are poor or middle class, responsible, working and paying taxes. In that case, you would be out of luck. The government bailouts seem to be going primarily to banks, the auto industry and other big businesses that have fleeced Americans for years anyway. Now they are getting to fleece Americans through government sponsored taxes as well.

Its a great day to be a greedy, self promoting manager of a mega million dollar business. Its a bad day to be a hard working, honest American tax payer. That’s why people are getting increasingly angry, enraged really. People across the nation have held their own ‘Tea Party‘ in various cities. The Tea Parties are held in the spirit of the brave men who founded our nation in the face of impossible odds, farmers and merchants defied the mighty British Empire. In the end, the American Spirit won, setting into motion the first baby steps that brought us to be the greatest nation on earth.

And now our freedoms and greatness are facing a threat as great as any we’ve faced before. This threat is from within. Its from the wealthiest and most powerful of our nation. Insiders in Washington won’t stop it. It will take the real government of the United States to stop it … We the People.

An Atlanta Tea Party was held today, February 27, 2009. It was pouring rain today in Atlanta. There were thunder storms. Yet hundreds showed up at the State Capital for the Atlanta Tea Party. There were speeches and a lot of anger. Yet I have not seen a peep about this on the local news. Maybe I missed the coverage. Oh, there have been a few little sarcastic notes about it deeply embedded in the New York Times and some other newspapers. Most of which have either a dismissive tone or defend Obama’s strategy of spending tax payers money to stop wasteful spending. The British Telegraph did report on it however.

I’ve seen wall to wall coverage of every Code Pink event conducted by ten or so middle aged housewives with self esteem issues trying to find something that makes them feel their lives have some meaning. I’ve seen wall to wall coverage of a handful of people that get out and walk around with signs whenever Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton are not happy about something.

But nothing. Nothing on hundreds of regular Americans who have JOBS and pay taxes, getting out in pouring rain because they love this country and won’t stand by and do nothing while our rights are being taken away and we are turned into a communist state.

Are the producers of this country no longer Americans? …. Power followers money and I do know that’s why you want my money …. We collectively are not the fools you take us for, Mr. President. ~ Eric Von Haessler Speaks at Atlanta Tea Party 2009

Here are some videos of the events today. Shock Jock Eric Von Haessler spoke, Georgia State Insurance Commissioner and 2010 candidate for Governor, John Oxendine as well as others spoke, in the rain, at the Atlanta Tea Party at the state capitol on Friday, February 27th.
