My Fellow Americans,
When King George III of The British Empire had concluded his French and Indian war in 1763 he lacked to funds to pay for the costly event. His answer was to impose tax after tax on the colonies of America. He started confiscating their monies by taxing every activity of life and creating government subsidized monopolies on everything from courier services to tea. The King wanted to control every aspect of American life and bring as much money into the government coffers as possible.
We are, as I write this post, a mere six hours away from the United States Senate will vote on Cloture that begins a water fall effect to bring about government run health care by Christmas day. A move that will put the government literally in the business of valuing life, deciding how much you should weigh, and forcing you to pay for health care in order to be a citizen in good standing.
This is not the first, and certainly will not be the last power grab of this congress or presidential administration. They have consistently over reached their constitutional authority and shrugged their collective shoulders when called on it. Those of us that have written letters, emailed, called, marched, picketed and questioned in town hall meetings what authority our federal government was using have been laughed at and mocked. We have been ignored.
When President Bush forced through a mammoth bank bailout for some of the most powerful institutions on the planet We The People objected that we did not have the authority or the resources to do so, but no one listened. When President Obama pushed through the government takeover of those institutions and several others We The People said no, and the liberal Lame Stream Media mocked us. These events led to CNBC correspondent Rick Santelli calling for a TEA Party from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The TEA Party movement was born on February 27, 2009.
Over the last year we have done everything we can to get the attention on the Washington DC Proletariat that thinks they can rule over us and thumb their nose at the founding fathers and our founding documents. They are not listening. They have continued to spend and encroach on our rights and freedoms by passing EPA regulations calling our very breathe a dangerous threat to the world, spending without regard to the hazards, driving our dollar below that of third world countries and now taking over one sixth of the economy and forcing all of us into taxation slavery.
My friends it is time for all of us to stand together, to unite the movement and make a stand that shows those in Washington that we will not forfeit our freedoms to become slaves in a Socialist social experiment that We The People do not want. This is why we are calling the National Day of Strike action for January 20, 2010, the one year anniversary of the inauguration of Barack Obama. We The People are the engine of the American economy. We are the genius of the American way of life. We are the host of the parasites in Congress that provide the life blood of tax revenue for an irresponsible and unresponsive organism that only seeks it's own growth and well being.
The National Day of Strike-We The People Strike Back is an act of civil disobedience that is necessary to show our out of control government that we are serious about reigning in their un-constitutional confiscation of our finances, our freedoms and our rights. On January 20, 2010 We The People will strike at the life blood of that parasitic congress by denying them the tax revenue for one day. We will not work. We will not shop, or buy anything that is taxed. We will not renew any licenses, tags, file any government filings and we will not remain silent. On This day we will fire a shot across the bow of Congress that we rule them not the other way around.
These are times that try men's souls my friends. I have not in my life time seen a more hell bent move to take our great nation to the extreme left. We are lurching toward Marxism and Socialism and we are being led there by the very people who swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, yet they are the enemies. We cannot sit idly by and allow what so many generations of warriors and patriots have sacrificed their lives to defend.
Please help us grow this event across organizational, party or geographical lines. Now is the time for us to all stand together. We need leaders and organizers in every state of the union. More details will be coming out this week. UNITE THE RIGHT TO WIN THE FIGHT. For Freedom, Allen Hardage National Operations Director
I like that. Buy local. ACORN is now international, and the Democrat/Unions are the wealthy. Unionized, Uruguayan and Sri Lankan dues, with American salaries on par with Vietnamese wages.
What do I know. I’m an unejumacated hik.
But what if they come to believe, as they just might, that “America” isn’t out there any more; that its absolute antithesis has taken its place?

There’s an image. You never said you practiced ballet, Di. Or is it that you use the whiskey as carpet cleaner? ;>
There’s nothing organized about it. We’re simply getting more self-sufficient and aren’t buying much. ;-)
Well said Melas !
Whoa. “National Day of Strike?” Somebody’s dreamin’. We’re not buying anything until after the big default. ...not doing much, either, except for working on our own little production hobbies (casting steel parts and the like) in anticipation of replacing the trash in all kinds of leadership now.
Then y’all sink with the rest of us. Because playing by their rules and doing our civic duty’s gotten us halfway to slavery.
The union you’re sticking by is in the hands of maniacs.
The power of prayer is mightier than anything we could do - pray, pray for a miracle for God’s Salvation is at hand!
True.....but hopefully we will invoke the 10th
Better yet, show up in D.C. on the day of Obama’s State of the Union Address. A massive protest with hundred’s of thousands to ruin their annual party and back slapping. This corrupt Congress must be exposed and voted out of office.
It is not too late. Either run for an office, find a conservative to run for an office, and/or support that conservative with time and money. This is a war for the soul of our nation. Will we give up? NO WAY!
I started screaming for a national strike 6 months ago and got total of 5 freepers to agree with me .
Lets see who REALLY will do it now.
I agree with that. But for the immediate future, we need an even bigger 9/12 March, only this time we don’t leave. A tent city on the lawn of the Capital. The only thing the radicals now in office will understand is something that affects them directly. They believe they are immune from any blowback from their decisions.
Good start, I’m in. Enough.
hmmmmmm.....
I heartily agree. That is exactly what http://pushbackuntil.com describes. We need to do it over and over and over until they (and future Congressmen and Congresswomen) understand that we are not going to take it anymore. At this point, having a big demonstration on the day of the State of the Union address would be strategic, because we could shut down intersections around the capitol so that traffic would come to a halt in the city. And you are absolutely correct in noting that we have to affect them directly. Otherwise, they will continue to ignore us.
Do you have a date of the “super 9/12”? Or is it just in the idea stage?
