The Tea Parties seem to be causing a stir with the media, as the article below explicitly says this was a right wing event, I am not so sure it was a right wing event, true the right wing wants to be part of it but in reality they are part of the problem, this was directed at big, wasteful Government, wasteful spending, bridges to nowhere. Many people are getting tired of watching. They normally watch because they have jobs and families they choose to support instead of missing a day of work to strike or protest. They appreciate what they have and know it is not an entitlement so they hold in the frustration and battle through the daily grind. This current crises and the ensuing actions of our government is motivating the commonly silent workers in our society to take a stand, it shows me that the level of frustration currently is the highest it has ever been in my life time. People want liberty, the right to choose how to spend their own money. We do not want to be a collective or a commune, where everyone is special, no one is motivated to excel, be creative or have the opportunity to set ones self apart from the crowd. We want to be the United States of America the way the founding fathers intended it to be. This is not Nineteen eighty-four, I hope.
Remember Big brother is watching.

Schakowsky: Tea parties 'despicable'
@ 1:23 pm by Eric Zimmermann
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted "tea party" protests yesterday, labeling the activities "despicable" and shameful."
"The �tea parties� being held today by groups of right-wing activists, and fueled by FOX News Channel, are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs," Schakowsky said in a statement.
"It�s despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt," she added. "Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year. Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians.�
This is the strongest language to date opposing the protesters, which, according to some estimates, topped 250,000 across the country.
