| Obama orders review of NYC flyover Posted: 29 Apr 2009 06:45 AM PDT After terrifying New York City residents and wasting $328,000 of taxpayer money, Obama is ordering a review of the decision to buzz the Statue of Liberty with a low-flying Air Force One and two F-16s. The question is, how much time and money will the review waste? It’s actually pretty simple, really. Immediately refund the taxpayers $328,000 for this ridiculous publicity stunt, and next time, use Photoshop. Read the article here. | |||||
| Rep. Oberstar Pushes for Mileage Tax Posted: 28 Apr 2009 01:44 PM PDT Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., said he believes the technology exists to implement a mileage tax. He said he sees no point in waiting years for the results of pilot programs since such a tax system is inevitable as federal gasoline tax revenues decline. “Why do we need a pilot program? Why don’t we just phase it in?” said Oberstar, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman. Oberstar is drafting a six-year transportation bill to fund highway and transit programs that is expected to total around a half trillion dollars. The tax would entail equipping vehicles with GPS technology to determine how many miles a car has been driven and whether on interstate highways or secondary roads. The devices would also calculate the amount of tax owed. You can contact Mr. Oberstar at one of his 5 offices listed below:

| Senator Arlene Spector Switches Parties, Keeps his Suit Posted: 28 Apr 2009 12:34 PM PDT Senator Arlene Spector, to the open arms of the Obama administration and leading Democrats, has announced that he is switching his party affiliation. After voting in favor of the Senate’s version of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the $787 billion “Stimulus”), being in support of a “pathway to citizenship”, often referred to as amnesty, and now, leading the charge in support of The Cures Acceleration Network (CAN) Act, which would create “an independent agency dedicated to advancing science from the laboratory into practice”, Spector says his former party had strayed too far to the right (whatever “the right” means anymore). So, what does it mean now that Spector is a Democrat, giving the party a 60 seat majority in the Senate? What does it mean that his home state of Pennsylvania has seen over 200,000 citizens change their registration from Republican to Democrat? What does it mean now that he is viewed more favorably by Democrats than Republicans and that he has a bill asking for our tax dollars to fund another agency to be managed by an irresponsible Washington DC, all while introducing legislation to form a federally-subsidized four-year college? You decide. Personally, I liken his party change to changing the lapel pin on your jacket. Still the same guy, still wearing the same suit, and he still has more faith in Washington DC than he has in you. | |||||
| Posted: 28 Apr 2009 10:11 AM PDT The Independence Day Tea Party Movement is a nationwide protest forum for any and all groups and individuals dissatisfied with the current governance of the United States, regardless of ideology, partisan identity, or political affiliation. While we may disagree on the solutions, on July 4th, 2009 we will come together as Americans to peacefully express our vigorous dissent from the current political status quo. |
