A head count is needed for people who want to take a bus from Santa Rosa to Sacramento on April 15. It'll cost around $20 per person. Departing from the Veteran's Center off of Hwy 12.
Another possibility is to meet at the parking lot, break up into carpools, and caravan to Sacramento. Ideas of where to park in Sacramento are welcome. The more the merrier as they say!

One of the coordinators I have been in contact with for the Sacramento Protest confidently reported today:

"We will have thousands."

We need voluteers to pass out literature and collect signatures. Please Freepmail me if you can bring a clipboard and help put some fire under the butts in Congress.

Here is a link to some excellent handouts. Don't be shy about these. When it comes to criticizing the government, people
LOVE TO GET THEM! http://www.americansolutions.com/directupload/pdf/TeaPartyOnePagers.pdf

Collect signatures for the 12 American Solutions for Jobs and Prosperity: http://www.americansolutions.com/directupload/pdf/12SolutionsPrintoutFinal.pdf

The more signatures we have, the more we can affect Congress.

Thank you, and let's have fun!

The taxdayteaparty people have scrapped together a cheap two hour protest in an out-of-the-way park, while our tax revolt will be occupying the walkway to the San Jose IRS offices.

The worst thing is they know of our event, and are confusing people declaring our time and location has changed. It hasn't :

SAN JOSE ( BAY AREA ) TAX REVOLT TEA PARTY ON APRIL 15th AS PLANNED

WHERE : Downtown San Jose at the IRS offices, 55 S. Market Street - within a block of Saint Joseph’s Cathedral ( we will occupy the walkways on both sides of Market Street between Santa Clara Street and San Fernando Street )

WHEN : Twelve Noon - April 15th!!! ( 12:oo pm to 6:00 pm )

BRING : Signs; Flags; Horns; Handouts; Ballons; Drums; YOUR AMERICAN SPIRIT!!!

Making A Sign : http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Protest-Signs. Go to a Wal*Mart, or a local crafts store for your materials. You might want to follow the advice offered in the link provided here, and you should do quite well.

One thing further..... this event is organizing by word of mouth. If you do nothing else, SEND THIS like minded friends, neighbors and organizations with whom you may be associated.

The success of this event relies completely upon whatever energy we individually put into it.

Don't procrastinate; don't wait to act!

Call me if you feel you can assist in any way in organizing this event. My phone number isn't listed below just because its pretty.
