Attending the Columbus Tea Party? Join the Facebook Event and invite your friends!

I'm proud to announce that I've been busily organizing a "Columbus Tea Party", a grassroots event to protest Governor Strickland's plans with the stimulus money, with the folks from the Ohio chapter of Americans for Prosperity. I just received final word that the permit requests are in, the organizing is well underway, and we can announce the following "official details" about the event:

Who: Americans for Prosperity, College Republican Groups, ShotsontheHouse.com, and grassroots activists from across the state of Ohio When: Saturday, March 14th, 2009 at 11 AM Where: Capital Square (The Statehouse) in Columbus, Ohio What: A Tea Party Protesting Governor Strickland's Stimulus Plans and Fee Increases Why: Because the Governor's plan is to take one-time money and dig us into a whole of future debt. The bad bill that came out of Washington is going to lead to bad policy here in Ohio, and we want to voice our dissent

With word out that our friends in Southwest Ohio will be holding an event on Sunday the 15th, we decided we'd push forward with a Saturday event in Columbus to really give the state of Ohio a shot in the arm. We'll be looking forward to meeting tons of concerned Ohioans, who are encouraged to bring signs protesting the Governor's plan to dig us into a bigger hole with stimulus money, protesting his fee increases, and protesting Ohio taking money from this moronic "econonomic recovery package" which has done nothing but send the market into freefall. If you would like more information, feel free to contact me, or just watch this page, www.shotsonthehouse.com/teaparty for more information on this grassroots event. Bloggers like Michelle Malkin and Glenn Reynolds have been covering tea party events across the nation, so stop by their sites, thank them, and enjoy their coverage. Also make sure to read up on what Americans for Prosperity is doing nationwide to fight this good fight. See you Saturday the 14th!

I'm still looking for a Southeastern Ohio tea party or regional group. But, after three such postings with no replies, I am about call it quits.

i’m not quite sure if there is one thusfar. it’s difficult for sure. you should start organizing for the april 15th series of events.

Get in the car and drive an hour to Columbus.

[Rudder]

It’s two hours each way portal to portal, not accounting for the search for parking.

“It’s two hours each way portal to portal, not accounting for the search for parking.”

Ha. Isn’t $200M of that money earmarked for Columbus for a high speed rail system?

[JavaJumpy]

FReeper goodwithagun is looking for one in the Steubenville area.

[Rudder]

I'll be there, I posted the announcement to my email lists too.

Spread the word!

If this announcement hasn’t reached Dirk Thompson, WTVN610, you should make sure he receives it. I had an illegal immigration rally last year and he heard about and phoned me for a live interview and then really talked it up for me!

I`ve seen a listing for the Cleveland tea party on one of the sites,its a pity that it takes an outside group to push this though.BTW,will you be attending the bimonthly meeting of the Medina County Friends and Neighbors?They`re a conservative group I met at the last tea party,they seem like a great bunch of people.Its at the Golden Corral Restaurant at 4913 Grande Blvd,Medina(across from the Home Depot).Their home page is at http://mcfan.org

I’ll have to check it out after I get home, firewall has me blocked.

[nomad]

I`m down loading some things from our Freerepublic links to take with me,if you attend please feel free to bring any articles of conservative interest.Have to say I`m a bit dismayed at the lack of enthusiasm by freepers at the chance to PUBLICLY voice their opposition to the spending they seem all too eager to WRITE about in forum.I guess talk is cheaper than action.

[boxerblues]

Did this get posted on the state page? There are a few loyal Freepers who will show up if they know about it.

[nomad]

I posted it,I`ll post it again.
