Here Are Some Ideas
Do not use foul language or make any personal threats.

  • “I am one angry American who is tired of working my tail off only to have political leaders squander my income on foolish financial decisions. Please, let’s get back to spending less and saving more. That’s the message of thousands of Tea Party protesters today.”
  • “As a taxpayer I am sick and tired of our government spreading the wealth by taking from those who work hard and giving it to those who do not. You ignore the sentiments of these Tea Party rallies at the peril of your own political future.”
  • “America is fast becoming a second-rate power because of the foolish decisions of many of our political leaders. Let’s stop the rot and get back to following the Constitution.”
  • “How much longer are the citizens of this country going to have to endure greedy politicians who are only looking to their next election campaign? Either quit the nonsense or expect the boot in the next election. That’s the message of the Tax Day Tea Parties all across the nation.”
  • “I want to respectfully protest how our government is handling this financial crisis. Anyone knows that the average citizen cannot survive if he does what our government is doing. It’s time for a REAL change, not just a promised change.”
  • “Mr. President: We are not going to take this much longer. Deficit spending that is burdening our grandchildren with unsustainable debt can no longer be tolerated. Continuing to pursue these policies will mean the downfall of this nation. Please listen to sound advice and not the stupidities you are hearing from your aids and associates.”
  • “America has become a debtor nation. We cannot pursue deficit spending and punitive taxation policies any longer. Unless you institute sound financial policy, we are heading for a disaster of epic proportions.”
  • “Congressman Frank: How long do you think Americans are going to tolerate your scandalous political behavior which condemns everyone else and lets yourself off the hook? If you ever had a good reputation, you no longer have one. Do the honorable thing and resign. At least get your fingers out of the till.”
  • “Senator Dodd: You have long ago lost any level of respect by the lack of fiscal leadership you have given your country. We hold you responsible for much of the fiscal crisis we are experiencing. Do the honorable thing: admit your failures, and announce you will not run in the next election.”
  • “Mr. Geitner: It is almost inconceivable that you would pretend to resolve the nation’s financial ills, starting from the position of a tax evader. Just where does the Constitution give you to authority to dictate to break contracts and to fire corporate employees? Listen to the Tea Party sentiments. The people are taking back the power. Start planning your retirement.”

Chattanooga Tea Party Liberty Forum Welcomes Rick Santorum

SANTORUM HEADLINES TEA PARTY’S THIRD ANNIVERSARY LIBERTY FORUM FEB. 25

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Feb. 16) – Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum will headline the Chattanooga Tea Party’s Liberty Forum on Saturday, February 25. The forum, which celebrates the tea party movement’s third anniversary, will offer citizens a chance to listen to and question candidates and leaders in national, state and local government offices.

Santorum was one of several invited presidential candidates and first to accept.

The event will run from 1 to 4 p.m. and will be held at Abbas House in Hixson, TN.

“We already have more than 20 confirmed officials and candidates at every level of government. Senator Santorum’s decision is just icing on our anniversary cake,” said Chattanooga Tea Party President Mark West.

Santorum currently leads in several national polls of GOP candidates. The former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania is well known for his commitment to traditional conservative and family values, and he helped author and pass key reforms, such as the landmark Welfare Reform Act.

In addition to Santorum, confirmed attendees include US Congressman Chuck Fleischmann and 3rd District challengers, Weston Wamp and Jean Howard Hill; State Senator Bo Watson, State Representatives Vince Dean and Richard Floyd, State Rep. candidate Mike Carter; County Mayor Jim Coppinger and County Commissioners Larry Henry, Tim Boyd, Joe Graham and Mitch McClure, challenger Marty Haynes; Sheriff Jim Hammond, County Trustee Bill Hullander; City Council members Carol Berz, Pam Ladd, Andrae McGary, Peter Murphy and Manny Rico; School Board members Mike Evatt, David Testerman and Rhonda Thurman; and U.S. Senatorial candidate Zack Poscevich.

Select speakers will address their vision for each of the different levels of government and there will be an opportunity for voters to interact with candidates and elected officials. The CTP will also offer refreshments to celebrate the tea party movement’s 3rd Anniversary.

“We launched our local group with a tax-day tea party event April 15, 2009,” West said. “Our event was one of 900 tea parties that day, a dramatic increase from the 50 tea parties on the first nationwide tea party event held six weeks earlier on February 27, 2009. Most of us who first met in early 2009 to prepare for that rally are still involved and contributing to our citizen activism. We’ve become close friends. And our focus has never wavered from demanding that federal, state and local governments adhere to their constitutional foundations, follow fiscal conservatism, and support free markets. We are pleased to be joining with ElectionDayTeaParty.com and dozens of other Tea Party groups around the nation in celebrating our movement’s anniversary.”

Although there will be no cost to attend the event, donations will be welcomed to help defray costs.

The Chattanooga Tea Party is a non-partisan grassroots organization seeking to educate and inform its members and the public at large of the fundamental issues and struggles our country is facing. We are committed to energizing voters to become engaged in the process of solving the nation’s problems.
