Anti-Stimulus [Tea Party] Protests Sprout Up
InvestorsBusinessDaily ^ | 2/20/09 | DAVID HOGBERG

Holding signs reading "Stimulate Business, Not Government," "Families Against Porkulus" and "Say No To Generational Theft," protesters opposed to the $787 billion stimulus package have been mobilizing across the country.

It started last Monday in Seattle, then moved Tuesday to Denver, where President Obama signed the stimulus bill into law. That was followed by another one in Mesa, Ariz., where Obama unveiled a mortgage rescue plan.

Another protest was planned for Saturday outside the office of Rep. Dennis Moore in Overland Park, Kan. The Democrat voted for the stimulus. His office didn't return calls seeking comment.

A New Populism?

As unemployment soars and anger over Wall Street bailouts mounts, public outrage will seek an outlet. Populism could go in many directions — and could easily ebb when the economy revives.

These really won't matter until they start burning down offices of politicians that voted for the debt/pork packages...

A “Stimulus” video well worth the time!

Are these conservatives protesting the pork-u-us, or are they Dems with buyer's remorse?

Thank you for these car sign ideas.

Right now, I have the picture of B.Hussein on a pig with the PORKULUS (like Ben Hur) and the comment "Hey, B.O. - AMERICAN'S WANT TAX CUTS"

and

B. HUSSEIN OBAMA (next line) DEMOCRAT. SOCIALIST. PUPPET.

It's working out well. Dems are weenies...none of them have the crust to do anything but shake their heads when they drive by. It's comical.

It started last Monday in Seattle,

That is amazing. Seattle is a bastion of liberal die hards.

I don’t want the 13.00 a week from stimulus package. Can I refuse the money? If so, how do I go about doing that?

I’m just taking a cue from the various governor’s.

I dont know ...I think getting everybody together now can send a big message and maybe even stop the next stimulus bill.

It may take till 2010 to get the old Throw the Bums Out going again.

getting everybody together

While I agree, that feat is our biggest obstacle, IMHO.
Everyone wants to be a star and although all protests and rallies are good, we NEED huge numbers working together to face the commies down!

Excellent. Moves a little too fast...but once you get in the groove it’s not so bad.

Sending it out!
