Having an Austin Tea Party

Here are some talking points for everyone at the rallies, in case they are asked to be interviewed, we'll all be on the same page.

Talking Points

REPEAL OR RETIRE // Repeal the Spending; Cut Taxes

Get details for a Tea Party at teapartypatriots.org

  • Congress passes bills they don't read every day. That's bad enough; but to pass the largest spending bill in the history of the world without reading it is criminal.
  • Congress and the President must repeal all (of these stupid) spending bills and budget. The overwhelming majority of the money has not been spent. And of that money, the overwhelming majority of the money is and will not be spent on actually fixing any of our economic woes. Instead, they are paying off their Democrat political debts.
  • If the Congress and the President will not repeal this spending, we will retire them at the ballot box, starting March 31st w/ Jim Tedisco, NY 20.
  • Congress is tripping over themselves vilifying AIG for their irresponsible spending, yet when it comes to irresponsible spending, they wrote the book on it ---> it's a 1100pg piece called 'the Stimulus Bill.' Though from what I hear, no one has read it.
  • $1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) = $3,300/person Today, current spending bills and budgets total $1T PER YEAR for the next 10 years; that's $33,000 for each man, woman, and child in America.

Government foisted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac onto the national credit market.
Government pressured the nation’s banking system into lending to unqualified borrowers with the Community Reinvestment Act.
Government asked for, lied about, and then wasted $350,000,000,000.00 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Government uses taxpayer funds to bail out the perpetrators of the Wall Street meltdown.
Government led our financial industry to make these reckless loans. Government rewarding irresponsible individuals with taxpayer money to ‘bail out’ their homes they cannot afford.

.... ALL THE WHILE, Government demands we foot the bill.
