United States of America (Press Release) April 29, 2009 -- New York, New York – April 29th, 2009 - The National Leadership Team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition today accepted President Obama's invitation "to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security." The invitation was extended by the President at a Town Hall Meeting held in Arnold, Missouri today.
Michael Patrick Leahy, a member of the National Leadership Team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, said "We want to broaden the scope to address the President's runaway march to socialist-statism, and the rampant across the board irresponsible spending he is promoting with his $787 Billion Stimulus Plan and his $1 Trillion Annual Deficit, his takeover of General Motors, Chrysler and the Banks".
Kellen Giuda, organizer of the New York City C Tea party attended by 12,000 and of Parcbench said, "I think a constructive dialogue with the President would be a great opportunity for him to acknowledge that, yes, many Americans have a problem with the way Washington is handling our taxpayer dollars and also that we are concerned about health care and social security reform. I am happy he is open to a discussion. The Tea Parties are protesting against fiscal irresponsibility and any dialogue we can have will hopefully bring a better public understanding of our country's finances. Health care and social security reform is a large concern to us." source:
Sorry for the short diary... I just thought it was interesting.
A few comments from the thread:
Who made these guys "in charge of the Tea Parties" anyway? It is strictly grass roots, boys...STFU about being the "leaders" of people who dont’t need them...let’s all just show up really p*ssed on July 4th in DC...about 3-4 million of us...we won’t need leaders...
Thats good cause you don't have any....
Good chance for Homeland Security and "other" agencies to track the names and contacts of these good people, and to go to work to discredit and destroy them
I don't think they understand what they are dealing with
There will be about as much "dialogue" as obama willl give pro-lifer Catholics at Notre dame
Paranoid much?
Do not legitimize Pres. Obama by meeting with him.
Hahahahaha! We legitimized him by voting him in, get a clue.
Even worse, one of the so-called LEADERS will turn out to be a tin-foil hat wearing fruitcake and the MSM will have a field day. KEEP OUR TEA PARTIES GRASS ROOTS!
Tin foil hat wearing fruitcake? How will you know the difference?
