Who supports the Tea Party Grassroots Revolution?
We are a group of taxpaying citizens who many have never been involved in politics. We may not want to be a part of a political party because we are angry at them all. Any politician who does not support fiscal & personal responsibility, limited government and believe in a free market society will not be supported; in fact, we will be doing everything possible to remove them from office. We are proud Americans who believe in the Constitution and our Founding Father’s faith, values and intentions.

The Tie That Binds - Written by Amy Kremer (teapartypatriots.org) - Formerly: Taxdayteaparty.com

There is one common thread that is uniting the one million plus people who protested on April 15th at over 850 Tea Parties across this great country. That common thread is that we all want fiscal responsibility with our tax dollars.

We may be Republican, Libertarian, Democrat, or Independent. We may be pro-life or not. We may care passionately about the environment or we may only mildly care about the environment. We may want to legalize gay marriage or we may be adamantly opposed to it. We may be Christian or Jewish or of another faith. We may be old or we may be young. We cross a broad spectrum when looking at so many of the other issues that define us.

When a person can no longer afford to provide for himself and his family without working 60+ hours a week because the government takes so much money out of his check, there is a problem. When a family must have two people working to pay afford basic necessities because the government is taking half their income in taxes, there is a problem. The ability to provide for yourself and your family is the most basic social issue. If we do not solve this social problem, the other social problems will not be important. If we cannot afford to take care of ourselves, how can we afford to take care of others?

We all agree the majority of our elected officials in Washington DC have become irresponsible with our tax dollars. These elected officials cannot seem to help taxing us and spending our money the way they see fit. They are putting our nation in debt at a rate of $1 million per minute. In the next 10 years, we will acquire a deficit of roughly $9.7 trillion (trillion with a T). They are passing bills in record time without even reading what is in the bills. There are special projects that benefit small individuals and groups around the country to the detriment of those who actually are working hard to pay the taxes.

It is time for this wasteful spending to stop. It is time for the out of control taxing to stop. It is time to let those who are working hard to earn the money, keep the money they earn. It is time to stop rewarding failure and start rewarding entrepreneurship.

We are all Americans and we are all tax payers. We all demand fiscal responsibility with our tax dollars. That's right, our tax dollars, not Washington's dollars. This is the tie that binds us together.
