Taxpayer Advocate: New Tea Parties Planned

National Taxpayers Union vice president Pete Sepp tells Newsmax that a "whole new round of tea parties" has been planned to protest high taxes and government spending.

"Many folks might have thought that after April 15, the tax filing deadline, this whole movement had just sputtered out," Sepp told Newsmax.TV's Ashley Martella.

"But there's a whole new round of tea parties that will be organized around the July Fourth holiday. In fact, there's a very large one that will occur here in Washington, D.C., on July Fourth itself.

"Other places are holding them the day before, the day after. We're going to see a number of them.

"I think that this movement is a durable one because it's all an online movement. It's very easy for people who have participated in these tea parties to stay in touch.

"Goodness knows we are reaching out to all of them because we want them to be permanent participants in the taxpayer movement."

Martella asked if the movement is growing.

"I definitely think so," said Sepp, who is vice president for policy and communication.

"We are getting new blood, new ideas, people who have never spoken out before who are willing to keep their voice at a very high pitch until there is change here in Washington."

Martella asked if Sepp believes talk that the middle class is going to get a huge tax increase.

"Definitely so," he responded.

"If the cap and trade program [to lower carbon emissions], which will raise energy prices, doesn't hit the middle class, something else certainly will."

The Indy defenders of liberty, my local tea party group, has been anything but stagnate, I can't keep up with them. Between trying to arrange bail money for a member who went with Dr. Keyes to Notre Dame (he turned us down and posted his own), to having a flash welcome rally for Obama when he did a fund raiser in Indianapolis. We are having a huge 4th of July rally complete with live music and front row seats for the fireworks after the march. We are also having another flash rally when Mr. Steele comes in July to address our Republicans. They are all part of the problem as long as they keep on this same path. They are looking at a third full blown rally on September 12th also.

Besides our rallies, we have had a presence with literature at the gun shows and we are working on a cd or dvd for the county and state fairs. We also have a number of people recruiting members to fight against illegal aliens and for the enforcement of our laws. A number of members of our state government have also been sent notice that this will be their last term unless they get their acts together.

Great job Cayla! Give 'em hell and never give up!

We can't fail, our fearless leader is Richard the Plumber lol...no lie, he owns a small plumbing company. I hope at the rate he is going that Obama will not ever need a plumber after he leaves the white house.
