FreedomWorks Taxpayer March on Washington Scheduled for September 12, 2009

?WASHINGTON  (Business Wire) Over the last six months the national  
debt skyrocketed by nearly $3 trillion. According to the nonpartisan  
Congressional Budget Office, our national debt will more than double  
by 2019. Americans will have to pay for this stratospheric spending  
spree first by begging foreign nations to buy our bonds, and later  
through higher taxes and inflation.

Grassroots anger at the inability of Washington to live within a  
budget has been building for some time, and began to boil over in late  
2007 as the Bush Administration and Treasury Secretary Paulson  
abandoned their claimed free market principles to bail out automakers  
and Wall Street banks through TARP.

When newly elected President Obama and his allies in Congress passed  
the $780 billion debt stimulus plan in February 2009, activists took  
to the streets.

On tax day, the tea party movement began in earnest. Until now the  
movement has remained at the local levels. No longer will that be the  
case. The movement is coming to Washington on September 12, 2009 for a  
march and rally at the US Capitol.

 From autos to banking, the government is crowding out the private  
sector of our economy. Where Bush bailed out the private sector, Obama  
is making hostile government takeovers. Ignoring our multi  
trillion-dollar deficit, Washington is considering a massive new  
energy tax and a takeover of health care.

On Saturday, September 12th FreedomWorks will be joined by over ten  
thousands of
liberty-loving activists to take a stand against politicians who are  
bankrupting our future. National co-sponsors include Tea Party  
Patriots, ResistNet, National Taxpayers Union, Americans For Tax  
Reform, Young Americans for Liberty, Ayn Rand Center, Campaign for  
Liberty, Free Republic, Young America?s Foundation, Smart Girl  
Politics, and The Club for Growth.

The event will kick-off on September 10th and 11th with various events  
throughout Washington including grassroots leadership training and  
Capitol Hill visits. The three-day event culminates on September 12th  
as taxpayers march on the Capitol building.

For more information, including media inquiries, registration,  
contacting event
coordinators, and the schedule of events, please visit our event website at

Over at http://www.912dc.org/ the folks say this:  ?It?s time to take  
the tea party movement directly to Washington, D.C. Please join  
thousands of local organizers and grassroots Americans from across the  
country as we gather in our nation?s capital to deliver a message to  
the politicians: Enough!

We?ve had enough of the out of control spending, the bailouts, the  
growth of big
government, and the soaring deficits. And we reject the future tax  
increases to pay for all of this spending and debt down the road. We  
are gathering on 9-12-2009 to deliver our message in person that we?ve  
had enough!?

Sounds as if these folks are determined to be heard  and to get their  
point across by taking their protest directly to the nation?s front  
yard. It is about time! When Moses won?t come to the mountain, then  
the mountain must go to Moses!

I have been on this earth a long time and I don?t recall ever  
experiencing a US
government as disconnected from the people of the nation as is this  
government.

Now the fun begins! By the ?fun? I mean watching the Mainstream Media  
trying their very best to ignore this building crescendo of citizen  
protest. Oh, make no mistake about it. The MsM will make every effort  
to ignore or ?play down? this March on Washington. For if people turn  
up in vast numbers it will make the media look extremely bad!

It was a Tea Party in Boston that helped get this experiment we call  
America off and running. Now it is a Tea Party in the capitol of the  
nation the original tea party helped spawn that may, very well, play a  
part in saving that experiment!

I have only a couple, or three, questions: Whose got the tar? And  
whose got the feathers? And, oh yeah, the rails! Whose got the rails?  
Huh?

"Those who pretend they want to preserve freedom, while they are eager to fix
prices, wage rates, and interest rates at a level different from that of the
market, delude themselves. There is no other alternative to  
totalitarian slavery
than liberty. There is no other planning for freedom and general  
welfare than to
let the market system work. There is no other means to attain full employment,
rising real wage rates, and a high standard of living for the common man than
private initiative and free enterprise."
