Sorry, I'll miss the fete - I should be back in the US in a week or so.

SmartGirl Politics, one of the sponsors of the Tea Party movement, will be hosting a post tea party get-together at White wolf Cafe on Orange Ave. at 6:00pm tonight. Smart men are invited, too. :0)

Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill) calls Tea Parties 'despicable'
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.

Randy,
Thought about sending this to PJTV and the major outlets? Michelle Malkin? How about the fools in the Vancouver newspaper who posted the most outrageous lie that only hundreds showed up, was nowhere near what organizers had hoped for, and that it was a disappointment?
