Perhaps you have heard of the Tax-Day Teaparties that are forming spontaneously throughout the country? Well, Evansville will be having its own! There will be a TeaParty, Wednesday April 15th Between 5 and 6 p.m. downtown at The Centre. Hundred's of people will be there and I WANT YOU to be among them! I'm posting a meetup and I encourage everyone to R.S.V.P. to join in and be present for what will certainly be a historic day.

WE HAVE A MISSION and this is why your presence is needed. March 16th Tom T. and I met with Congressman Ellsworth in response to our bailout protest (finally). In that meeting, we encouraged Mr. Ellsworth to co-sponsor H.R. 1207, the bill introduced by Ron Paul that would Audit the FED. Since then 55 members of Congress have co-signed, but Ellsworth hasn't! March 27th-29th I attended the Campaign for Liberty Regional Conference in Saint Louis and there it was announced that passing this bill, H.R. 1207, would be the National focus for the organization in 2009. Ellsworth must co-sponsor, and we will put the pressure on him to do so. R.S.V.P. for the TeaParty and find out how you can help and be a part of history!!!


P.S.--(we have 115 members, I'd like to see at least 25 R.S.V.P's. There will be a lot of fresh faces and new blood at this rally and we need to show up in force to educate and steer the newbies to the issues that matter!!! The event organizer has given me some Mic time and I will be exposing the Fed and encouraging those in attendance to sign a petition. When they sign the petition they will get a small 27 cent postcard that they will sign and I will mail to the Congressional office here in town. With enough pressure and encouragement I think Mr. Ellsworth will concede to our demands and co-sponsor the bill! But I need your help to do this!)

Thanks, Phil Schmitt

    Roll back the Federal government to Constitutional limits. Lower taxes through less government.

Who attended?

  • 11 attendees
    •  Felt like the '60s. Even the Republicans are changin their name. 
    •  The meeting was well organized, with good speakers, and great signs. The public was supportive of our efforts and spirits were high. 
    •  Unbeleivable number came for Evansville, In.... Must have been close to 2000! We will see....what the experts say! Crowd was enthused.....great weater....great place.....Crowd was respectable and left the area ....clean!!! Good speeches.....great music!! Lot's of compliments from participants for being able to be there and all the work someone put into staging it! 
    •  Signs were great and most were right on target. Sound system was inadequate. The speakers were not particularly inspiring but that could have been related to the sound system. The location was excellent and the time was right. It was better than the Centre. The question now is, "What will cause us to EVER see most of those people again?"
