A major tax rally is planned for tomorrow in Corona CA. BIG BIG rally. Hope to see many of you there. This is organized by John & Ken, 2 anti-high tax, anti-govt. corruption talk show hosts in Los Angeles.
Racists
What does the result of a vote on any Proposition in California really matter? Seems to me, if the results are not to the liking of the committed Left, it is challenged in Court, ignored and the opponents vilified/threatened. (Prime example, Prop 8).
End result is the will of the voter is ignored.
...can we have an Anti-Los Angles Tax instead?
;)
Minutemen Will Be there.
Yes, I know - socialists are heavy on using the courts to overturn popular votes, when it suits them. What else is new? I guess we should just crawl under a rock, let the socialists win, shrivel up - and die, eh?
See you there - if you have ANY fight left in you.
A 2-fer.
I figure that’d be enough to make them mis-step and that would be funny to watch.
You know, that was a ridiculous response and I wonder why you bothered. It seems you have way too much fight in you. What a joke.
And no, I probably won’t be there as I do not think we could work well together. I prefer positive action to insults and apparently you do not.
1. Others might try to claim that this is a “tea party”, as happened with J&K’s event in Fullerton. Neither of them would have any patience for Galt loons.
2. While very large rallies will certainly have an impact, and J&K might end up having played a large role in the props going down, something far, far more effective would be to embarrass the other side (broadly construed) on video by asking them “prosecutorial-style” questions (i.e., not just rants, open-ended questions, etc.) That can then be uploaded to Youtube to have an impact on their careers. That would also help undercut the MSM by completely cutting them out of the picture and using Youtube as the delivery medium rather than waiting for the MSM to cover something.
BTW: I’ve been pushing the second idea for over two years, with near zero interest from others.
I’m not sure what your point is. Turnouts show that large segments of the public are concerned about govt growth and rising taxes; it forces the media to eventually take note as well.
Is there some reason why fiscal reform cannot be accomplished using multiple tactics and on many fronts at the same time? I’ve also written letters to the WSJ which were published and run for state offices a few times. I give campaign donations to fiscal conservatives like Tom McClintock, am a member of the NRA, etc.
What, exactly, do YOU propose be done, other than these different types of political efforts? I am completely baffled as to why you’re grumbling about a rally ....against high taxation!
Have a nice weekend. 4L
I agree with everything you said. We can’t give up and I am very pro Tea Parties and rallies. I do believe they are working and that the libs are getting the message, and getting nervous. It is time “We The People” made our voices loud and clear. When people complain that the rallies aren’t working and indicate that we should give up—I wonder if they are really a conservative or just trying to throw a wet blanket on our momentum. Good luck with the protest.
Yes, you could be a glorious martyr. How many of you will go that distance? How many of you will risk your families, jobs, homes, livelihoods? How many? Speak up now. Here's your chance. Let the Fedgov know you will no longer be under their thumb. Say it loud and proud. What, no righteous Constitutionalists taking their stand?
Before you give me crap about being a WebWarrior, just know that I was out on the streets as far back as 1997, with sign and bullhorn in hand. I know the drill better than most. You folks better come up with a new game plan or all your efforts are doomed to fail. You just don't get it, our government is out of control and soley exists to perpetuate itself. Wise up.
I say again, THE POLITICIANS ARE NOT LISTENING AND THEY DON'T CARE because they "won", as Obami said. They serve only their Utopian agendas.
And don't bother asking me what is the alternative. You damn well know what it is. But again, thanks for playing. See you in the end game.
With all due respect to you and your efforts, you are so wrong and so blind to the realities that have hit this Country in the last couple decades.
The liberal/marxists just DON'T care. BTW, did you know there is an official Communist Party that still exists right here in your country? Did you that many of the Dem Caucus types subscribe to many of the same doctrines of the Communist Party? You didn't know that, did you?
Why are you guys not getting this? They actually feel fullheartedly that their Utopian socialist/marxist mechanism can work this time around. When has it ever worked throughout history?
You guys need a stronger game plan. Think, and I mean think long and hard about the alternatives. Good luck with your street protests - the Obami/Reid/Pelosi TRIAD will ignore you!
More importanty, the media will ignore them...ir ridicule them.
These events need to be taken to the next level if they are going to be effective, and that means at least a few people getting arrested.
