Have an event planned for the state of Oklahoma? Email and let us know!
Also, be sure you join our Facebook group.
Who cares about a new party….we need to get the Crazies out of power, immediately, and protest like hell !!!
I hope everybody goes to and helps PLAN more TEA PARTIES. We are NOT COMMUNISTS here !!! We don’t want that failed system !!!!
I don’t think Oklahomans need to protest. I think the those opposed to this gov. already know we are ready to take back our country. Just let us know when your ready. The longer you wait the worse things get and the more time they have to gear up against us and the more bridges they burn. And red buttons and cds they hand out. How much do YOU want to pay? Who do you want spending your money?
How do you organize these tea parties? I’d love to be a part of this.
Anything being planned in Tulsa for this one?
The revolt needs to start with a recall petition of Boren down in SE Oklahoma. Put a Republican in there. Do this to a few Senators and Congressmen and I garantee you they’ll start listening to what we say.
where is the closest group i can join. i’ll be gald to vol to help. we have to do something or loose the US that we have known and loved
Hi folks from Oklahoma. Roxanne here, one of the bloggers at Fresh Tea Daily, a group for all the April 15/Tax Day Tea Protests. If you’re not aware of the blog, please drop by.
any parties in okla ? Southeast ? I want to be a part of this

Hi,
Please see the facebook page link below for details of Oklahoma City’s Tea Party rallies. We had one on February 27, and the next ones are scheduled for April 15 and July 4, both from noon-1:00 on the State Capitol Steps. Organizer and contact person is Alan Webb at [email protected].
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54921936051
I totally support these tea parties and may be at the OKC tea party. However, it does seem slightly inapporpriate to do it at the Oklahoma State Capitol because the Republican Oklahoma Senate and House are doing lots of good things.
Well, then the state representatives wont have to walk far to join us.
Just out of curiosity anything illegal about sending a tea bag to the IRS.
If we continue sending the same people to Washington, we will get the same results. While politicians enrich themselves and their friends at our expense we are left with pocket change.
If you are ready for Real change, please visit my website WilliamLee2014.ORG.
This will become a national election, and I need everyone’s help.
just sign me up to help any way that you need me. Enough is enough !
I attended the tea party in OKC on 2-27. We need to get and/or solicit more mainstream coverage. This action needs to be more visible. I will be there on OKC on 4-15 and 7-4!!!!

____________________________________________
Don’t lump all of our states politicians into this political mess. Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Jim Inhofe and Rep. John Sullivan actually have our backs. It is the boneheaded libs like Dan Boren that need a boot up their kiester.
I am writing to Coburn, Inhofe and Sullivan today to join us, their constituents, at the tea party in Tulsa on April 15th.
Remember, we must keep this a peaceful demonstration or all of our credibility goes out the window…..much like the credibility of the current administration and the majority of Congress has.
I tend to agree that we have a couple of good reps, but I would still not take for granted that anyone in Washington “has our backs”. We do need to remain the “adult” side of the argument but we have been way too quiet for way too long. These people are absolutely shredding the Constitution. I’m sick of ALL of them. If some of them want to go “Shoulder-to-Shoulder” with us and fix this mess, they “have our backs”. Otherwise, they’ve all got to go.
I tend to agree that we have a couple of good reps, but I would still not take for granted that anyone in Washington “has our backs”.
———————————————-
Ned, I take NOTHING for granted. I watch their voting records very close. If you did as much research as I did on the matter, you wouldn’t make the comment that “they’ve all got to go”.
It is the current President, his administration as well as members of congress such as Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the “usual suspects” that have absolutely no regard for the Constitution.
While I don’t agree with the bonuses given to Executives of banks we bailed out, it is the aforementioned members of Congress that further shredded the Constitution today by voting to tax these folks at AIG by 90%, that had contracts approved by this administration on February 11th 2009. A flagrant violation of the Constitution of these great United States.
If you are going to rant, at least know what you are talking about when you do so.
As promised, the following is a letter I sent to Senators Inhofe and Coburn as well as Rep. Sullivan. The following is a copy of the original I sent to Senator Inhofe.
——————————————-
Senator Inhofe
I am sure your Congressional office as well as your field office has been flooded with angry calls from your constituents concerning the AIG bailout and sudsequent bonuses paid to the employees thereof. I too am very angry that the current administration, aided by Treasury Secretary Tim “Turbo tax” Geithner and Senator Chris Dodd not only allowed it to happen, but were apparently co-consirators in this matter.
We the American people of the great State of Oklahoma, your constituents, are very displeased with their actions as well as the House bill passed today, which completely shreds the Constitution by taxing the employees of AIG who recieved the aforementioned bonuses by 90%. While I am opposed to the bonuses, those bonuses were agreed to contractually by the Obama administration, per the Dodd Amendment, in the $787 Billion stimulis bill that was so hastily passed by the Democratically controlled Congress. This not only sets a bad prescedence, but is not legal according to the Constitution of the United States of America.
On April 15th 2009, residents of Tulsa and the surrounding area, are holding a tea party at “the cube”, otherwise known as Tulsa City Hall as a part of the “Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party”. I know your voting record well as I follow it very closely, and I am proud to say that you have supported the ideals and the freedoms of the residents of Oklahoma well.
Senator, I invite you to join us, your constituents, as we stand shoulder to shoulder in protest of this administrations tax and spend policies of which I know you oppose. Please come join us and send the message that we have had enough of this administration mortgaging the futures of our children and our childrens children.
I have sent this invitation to Senator Coburn and Representative John Sullivan as well. We look forward to your company on April 15th, 2009.
The information for this demonstration is as follows:
City: Tulsa
When: April 15, 11:25 am - 1:25 pm
Where: The Cube, aka Tulsa City Hall, 175 E. 2nd

I have emailed this website to my entire address book consisting of individuals across the country. If everyone would do the same we can cover most of the responsible people in this country! Who needs the MSM??? DO IT NOW!!!
I am organizing a Tea Party in Muskogee on April 15th. If you want to join us, or want more information, send me an email.
HI All,
I have said for years that we needed another Tea Party but I doubt that anyone actually believed that we would ever get to the point that we would need to do that. I just hope it’s not too little too late. I plan to take part in sending the tea bag or a Tea label to the white house on April 1st. and the 15th. We have to do something to try to wake up Washington.
xSMOKExLESSxCRACKx, asked if there is anything illegal about sending tea bags to Washington. I don’t think it is illegal but you might consider that tea bags are not flat and don’t fit into the post office rules on size etc of envelopes and packages. They even have one for the thickness of an evelope. I don’t know but It has been suggested that instead of sending tea bags, because they wouldn’t be flat…send a label from a box of tea. That would be flat and be more likely to go through the machines at the post office instead of winding up in the dead letter office. What think Ye?
It’s past time we do something about the tax and spend Congress we have. Republicans did no better when we were in power. We must get our Republican Party back to the conservative,pro life party it was before some progressive Republicans got in power. There are too many RINO’S out there. They are no different than the progressive Democrats. I don’t worry about our Oklahoma delegation except for Dan Boren. I watch how they vote and I tell them how I feel about the issues. It’s the rest of the country that needs to wake up. Obama literally bought the election. Acorn broke every election law there is to break. We are saddled with a population with a welfare mentality that wants and expects the Government to take care of them. After all…isn’t that what Mesiah Obama promised them? Nancey Palosi has told the illegal population that they will be taken care of and they will have jobs here in the good old U.S. of A. So…yes, it is time for a Tea Party. God bless those who are willing and able to organize and see one through. I would love to go to one but I don’t know if I will be able to go over to the State Capitol. I would like it if there was one in the Yukon area. I am 76 years old and can’t do some things like I used to when I was younger. But my heart is with the movement and all who participate. God bless America
FOR THOSE OF YOU…WHO ARE TIRED OF THE BOLOGNA IN WASHINGTON AND INTEND TO SEND A TEA BAG ON APRIL FIRST, HERE’S WHAT TO DO…
DO NOT SEND THE TEA BAG. JUST SEND THE STRING AND THE TAG, OTHERWISE THEY THROW THE LETTER AWAY FOR FEAR IT CONTAINS A CONTROLLED DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE.

I am organizing a Tea Party in Muskogee on April 15th.
______________________________
When I was in the Army back in 1970,
Stationed at Fort Riley KS. I lent a fellow Soldier $20.00 dollars who was from Muskogee, OK. He borrowed money from several of his fellow soldiers. When Payday came, he was gone, he already had orders to ship out, and of course he didn’t tell any of his friends and fellow soldiers that he had orders to be transferred. You know who you are “Buddy” over in Muskogee, OK. You ripped a lot of your old friends off back in 1971, I hope you’re proud of yourself now…
BTW $20.00 dollar’s back in 1971 was worth about as much as $100.00 dollar’s is today.
Sure was a clever rip-off story he had too, said he was going to move off post, his wife was coming and that he needed the money to pay to have their mobile home moved to Ft. Riley, KS.
At the moment I am recovering from a serious fall, but improving daily. I have begun pre-planning an event in Poteau (LeFlore Co) and hope to get 3-4 others to help me get it organized.
I want to call it the LITTLE DIXIE TEA PARTY and make it an all afternoon tailgate affair if I can get permission to use a vacant parking lot.
I want patriotic music, karaoke, and include FairTax information.
A big TEN-FOUR on Dan Boren, Richard.

We don’t need to have a bunch of gatherings all across the state. We need one BIG one in OKC. The best way to make ourselves heard will be to have everyone in this State show up in OKC on April 15th. We will flood the capitol grounds and cause traffic back ups all over the city. - Now THAT, will make news. I live over 100 miles from OKC, but I will be there. I know that some will have a hard time getting there, but come on!! This is our country we’re trying to save.
I’ll show up and hope every incumbent is there and has drawed up as tight as string. they all need to be throwed out for not reading stimulus they signed and let this go unchecked as all issues in washinton are done.., vote them all out and make a change. we’ll soon be socialist with the idot in charge. the only way to fight is start at bottom and work up.. everybody except maybe one state senator is good old boy brain dead. and how long do we keep this up, until we revolt…. it is time…. don’t pay taxes or re-elect any one.. and maybe they will get the message. no lawyers or other goverment employs should be elected.
If the media refuses to be present, we can be our own media by taking our video cameras and posting the results to YouTube, then sending the links to the I Report sections of the MSM websites. Maybe they won’t show them–but we’ll be rubbing their noses in the fact that we don’t need them nearly as much as they need us. And, of course, we should be posting the video links everywhere we can. I suggest using the tags Tax Day, Tea Party, Politics, plus your state and your city. Just be aware that if we all do this, it may take awhile for YouTube to process everything, so keep trying.
The government’s plan is not working. We can see that in each and every passing day. Americans need a fresh start to a new life. We need the same help to get OUR feet out of the quicksand that the government is giving to the companies that they choose to help try to get back on their feet.
Unfortunately, the government can give all of the bailouts to these companies that they want, and it still will not work unless WE the people have the financial means to continue to add surplus to the economy so that it can thrive. Without WE the people doing so, all the bailouts given to these companies will NOT matter. Once the “patch comes off the hole”, the water will come in again, and then what? The government continues to patch the holes but NEVER fixes the real problem.
Fix the boat! And that boat is the DEBT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
BAILOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
The government should be bailing out the American people by paying down proportionate shares of our debts. WE will then be indirectly bailing out the same companies that the government is directly bailing out right now by paying down our debts. They would still be getting their money. But they would be getting it the fair, just and honest way. The way that is a win-win for everyone. We would have less debt and they would still get paid. But if we continue to do it the government’s way, and bail them out, while leaving us out, WE are losing it all. WE have nothing to gain.
The American Bailout, The Plan for Americans Made by Americans, can work. If we all join hands to show our support and sign the petition to being The American Bailout Plan to our government, WE can help to open the door to OUR nations NEW future.

Hey Folks! I need people to write their representatives and ask them to formally commit to the 9 principles and 12 values that have made America great.
I’ve already written the letter, all you’ve got to do is change the information in “red” and send it in the mail…. Let’s find some good representation, and clean house where we need to.
Please visit and help bring valued based government to our children. http://912candidates.org
I’m with you.
WHAT WE NEED IN THIS COUNTRY IS A MILLION AMERICAN MARCH TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND MAKE SO MUCH NOISE THAT OBAMA, BIDEN, AND PELOSI WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RESIGN!!!!
I am not going to send a teabag that they can throw away because it might be some foreign substance. I am going to take a full size sheet of paper, folded three times, and put it inside a sealed envelope so some GS-3 has to open it to see what it says…

we saw the colors of dan bowern. he needs to come home to his daddy
I’ll be there.
I’m planning to be there. Camera ready too.
A recall of Dan Boren was one of the first things I thought of when I found out he supported the “bailout”. Unfortunatly that is prohibited for federal offices. Our only recourse is to get out the vote and run him out of town on a rail at election time. Not only does he support the socialization of our country, he caucuses with the Democrats thereby helping place Nancy Pelosi in position to be third in line for the most powrful position on the planet. She and the rest of those lunatics on Idiot Hill must be stopped before they destroy our country. We are fortunate to have a mostly great congressional delegation from Oklahoma representing us there. We can do this at the polls next election.
Having a rally on April the 15th (a Wednesday) seems to me to be making it very hard for working people to be there.
For those who are concerned that April 15 is a work day, we need to understand that to have an effect on our government, we must have commitment. Workday or not. We need to be there to let our voice be heard. Effort required!!!!!!!!!

I agree that Boren should go. He is representing his party, not us.
Im a little frustrated with Inhofe, who voted no on the stimulus but put a lot of earmarks for Oklahoma. Is he playing both sides?? I dont want tax payers money especially with strings attached to the fed…. DC
I made up some flyers and plan on handing out a couple of thousand invites to the teaparty here in okc. Is there other advertising going on??
Has anything been said about a national Tea Party in Washington DC? Imagine… thousands of us wearing the same T-shirts with a big pitchfork on the front! (I doubt we could get on the mall with real ones).
I think September 12 would be the perfect date.
I’m for the tea party but i’m afraid we have let it go too far too long. We have allowed both congress and the senate to transform their positions from the origional service positions where expenses only were paid to them and their personal wealth came from their own enterprizes to a lucerative career where great personal wealth is generaited. Even if they were made to depend on social security like the rest of us instead of the lucerative government retirement they would soon fix the social security. Why doesn’t any of them address the money government has borrowed from SS and never returned?
You know folks; God has allowed this to happen to us have you ever wondered why?
you people are fools. Keep worshiping Rush “OXY” Limbaugh and be the little sheep you were born to be, What a bunch of idiots.
Please remember that Inhofe put his own Pork in the stimulus bill. Made Oklahoma look like fools. And we are if we ever send him back. And as for Boren. He is my Representative. I email him constantly. He won’t even answer me back anymore. I have told him we Oklahomans don’t go for any of that crap they are dishing out in Washington, but you see how much he cares how his constituants feel by the way he votes. Bev
I email Boren also. All I ever get back are generic answers that sound an awful lot like Baracks speeches. A lot of retoric and no substance.
what we as americans need is not a tea party but an election……………ken
Is there anyone from the Lawton area? I either want to host or join a 912project gathering of like minds.
Email me at [email protected]
We do need Tea Parties all over our state. Some people will not be able to afford to make the trip to Okc or Tulsa.
With that in mind…I have a lady wanting to know if there is a Tea Party in the Broken Bow Area. If you know of one, or are also looking for one or are willing to help organize one…please contact me.
Here is a great Tax Day Tea Party Planning Guide:
http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/forum/topics/tax-day-tea-party-planning
This planning guide is by National Tax Day Tea Party Home…but I could not access their resource page for the guide right now. It appears they have moved to a new web location and the resource guide is not up and running yet. So I leave here the guide as I posted it on Patriots for America in hopes of helping people who didn’t know how but would organize a Tea Party.
For those of you who are in the 2nd Dist, we are having a 2nd Dist meeting tomorrow (Sat, Mar 28) in Muskogee at 1:00 at the library. Sen Coburn will be our guest speaker. We definitely need to organize and be at all of Boren’s district offices on Apr 15. We just need to coordinate our efforts. jr
Does anyone know if a Tea Party is being planned for the Enid area?
I’m emailing all my friends across the country urging their participation in the National Tax Day Tea Party. I have one concern. It is good to be AGAINST something that is opressive and becoming more so but you have to also be FOR something SPECIFIC to REPLACE that which you are AGAINST. This is what I am FOR: The FairTax http://www.FairTax.org . Let’s REPLACE the INCOME tax and the IRS with the FairTax!!!!
I agree, we have to do something or we will loose the US that we love. I have lived overseas in my lifetime and I can tell you socialization is not what I want to live under, I lived in an european country for 2 yrs and experienced it first hand, capitalization still lives, its just under the table in the form of bribes. You have to bribe for EVERYTHING! Want an X-ray, bribe the Dr. want your medicine, bribe the pharmicist, etc. believe me, you want to see an inequality of wealth just take a really good hard look at how these countries REALLY work, it’s awful. We must find a way to stand up and make ourselves heard, I’ll do anything to help, volunteer, do research, write letters, organize events, anything! For the first time in my life, I’m 47, I’m truly afraid of what is happening in our government, my family thinks I’ve lost it, but just as many others, they have drank the Koolaid and see this person, who is now our president ….. as the savior. I was afraid of him and his ideals a long time before he was elected.
Hello Fellow Oklahoman’s
I know it will be hard for some to make the trip to Okc. There are options like car pooling, Okc isn’t that far. I feel never in our life time has there been so much at stake, for us and our childrens children. We must send a very loud message of our disaproval to Washington. Remember If tea party’s don’t work, what then. There are a lot of Oklahoman’s that are not going to live under a Communist state with New World Order views. Please come to the Capital in this hour of distress.

We really need to have a tea party in every town that our Reps And Senators have a Office. What do we have to do to Plan one in the out of the way places too. I agree we need to push for the FAIR-Tax it is the only thing that will save us all.
Not only that we need to reform somethings like term limits. no retirement, this needs to be done on a state and Federal level. They need to be required to pay into ssc. They also need to be answerable to all the same laws we are. Not allowed to vote for they’re own pay raises and pay for their own insurance. They are just part-time employees. No more Perks. Out law the lobbyist. Stop the circle of lawmaker to lobbyist to lawmaker and the entitled to it, scenario.
Also on the GIVE ACT, we need to impress on Our republican reps, not to vote for it again. All did, but Mary Fallin ,she deserves credit for being smart enough to not vote for this wolf in sheeps clothing. As a citizen you will be required to give up all rights to participate in it, especially you religious rights.
Not only that any OKie to vote for any of these bills without reading them, needs to go home and stay, Boren I know voted for all and I will actively be out against him being re-elected, when he comes up again.
This is a wonderful idea that I hope gets the fat cats attention. We have been silent too long about the current state of our country. It is also to stop being white-americans, african-americans, hispanic americans, etc.. and become only AMERICANS! Only then will we have America’s best interest at heart. Please keep that in mind and let’s help everyone, no matter of race, realize that we are in this together as AMERICANS and we have the power to change things. Everyone watch this you tube clip and keep up the good work. United we stand!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKFKGrmsBDk
Everybody please join the tea party. We are going the same way Germany went beore WW11 broke out. Wake up Americans. We are giving up our country to all the lily-livered liberals.
We want term limits to clean the vermin out of Washington D.C.

WE CAN TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA
It is time to stop the government from continuing to give out the additional 7 trillion that it has allocated to give out to the agencies noted and to give that money to American families to absolve our debts. Which means it essential is given directly to the creditors on our behalf. We are not given that money to us as cash per say to use for other things.
By doing so, WE are paying off our debt, which is the reason why they are failing in the first place. Americans cannot afford to pay them due to the job loss and economic crisis that we are in. So they are getting help from the government from OUR money to try to stand. What good does that due if we ourselves cannot continue to bulster the economy by STILL having the same debt that they are being bailed out of and WE do not have the means to grow ourselves?
In a sense, they are trying to “double dip” us. They are getting the debt paid off from the government that we cannot afford to pay, however OUR debt still remains to them and we have to pay for that our of our own paychecks as well. They are getting paid TWICE for the same debt. The write off from our debt and our actual debt that still remains. If the same money that is already allocated was used to pay them, and OUR debt to them was then erased, we could then utilize the money that is still being paid to them from our pockets to begin to build back our lives, which in return, would also build onto theirs again.
It is a plan that has been mentioned on Glenn Beck long after The American Bailout was put together by Americans. If he thought of it as well and has questioned as to why no one has done it, then apparently, it must be something that people believe can work. Hopefully, the support from the American people will be bold enough to bring it into congress so that they too can ask themselves…why haven’t we done this……maybe it’s time we should.
WE Can Take Back OUR America!

After todays move by Obama, firing the CEO of GM, he has gone to far. Obama is sworn to uphold the Constitution as well as every member of his administration and Congress.
This “tea party” needs to take place in WASHINGTON D.C.
Any parties in Lawton? Would love to attend.
I’m bringing 5 gallons of tea (sweet) to dump at the rally.
Want to be at rally…. citizens must take to the streets (peacefully) to protest! If we do nothing, then our country is gone. We must react now!!!
I didn’t find this above - the Tulsa Tea party has it’s own site now
http://tulsateaparty.org/
I really appreciate everyone’s hard work to organize in our state, but I am concerned that we are missing the true Tea Party spirit. The magnitude of the situation requires more thinking outside the box. Protests on the capitol steps are nothing special, and I really don’t think anyone cares any more — to watch coverage of it on tv, to do what every other protest group ever does — and I do NOT think it is a good idea to plan events during the day so that working people (who put the taxes in Uncle Sam’s pocket) cannot attend.
So… I have had a few non-traditional ideas — http://www.kicktheanthill.com/?page_id=1417 — but I’m sure you guys could probably come up with better. I would be glad to help organize, but would like to know if any of these ideas resonate with anyone else.
Personally I think the ideas involving tailgating in parking lots of local banks or business or on the side of the road would go over well. Food + making noise — that’s just right up our alley, isn’t it? Does anyone know any bank or business people who might be interested in volunteering their parking lots? Major streets with good access are best! Are there any coffee shops who might donate tea? It could be great PR for a lot of folks. And because it could be done very locally, it’s likely a lot more people would turn up. I can see it now…Sooners AND Cowboys grillin’ and sharing tea together for one great cause…
But whatever we do, it should be unique, and we should do a good job of getting press coverage for it. My email address is at my blog, and I’m also on Twitter.
People, this isn’t a democrat or republican issue. Both parties are selling you out. This is about true reform. Obama is bad, but Bush was horrible too. I am more pissed at the GOP than the Dems, I expect this from the Dems, the GOP is just filled with untruthful, deceptive statist.
I hope yours is successful. I will be attending the one in Tulsa, but I wanted to warn you about getting a permit well in advance. I have heard stories about some applications being rejected over minor “technecalities” and I would hate to see that happen to you. Good luck and God Bless to everyone organizing and all that attend. Also, lets make sure and invite the “unbiased?” press. If everyone who reads this calls them, and asks their friends to call then they just might report it, and hopefully not just a few sentences on the last page.
It would be nice if the media showed up. I am calling all my friends and asking them to call the Tulsa World and smaller papers as well. Then asking them to call their friends and do the same. If we can do this, and they get enough calls, we just may force their hand.
We all need to remember…Coburn voted for the first”stimulus” package….I called his office and told him he is FIRED!
Tea parties are all fine and dandy, but these crooks need to be brought up on charges. We all know they all lie, that seems to be politics as the norm. That must stop. This gov. is trying something way too anti- Amarican. They have gotten too big and too self serving. We need a do over. Global warming is a farce, bail outs payed back supporters, redirected money and a mad power grab. The economic “crisis” was caused by dem house the last 20 yrs. And now they want to be the rescuers,???? What a load. I’ve seen our rights being chipped away for 50 yrs, all for our safety, security and future stability.
I think I want my ss investment back now so I can create my own retirement plan.
Is there to be a Tea Party in Norman? I would love to go to one. Hope I can get to OKC if not one here.
Thanks.

To all my fellow AMERICANS. It’s time to take up arms and fight for what we have lost and take back our freedoms. These tea parties are great but remember that the PEN is dead and our voices have fallen on deaf ears. So I say ” Americans , Take up arms and eliminate this UNAMERICAN GOVERMENT once and for all”
I am looking for a tea party in lawton? will help in any way if needed Thanks
The fact that we as oklahomans are blessed enough to live in a state that still exhibits some common sense in this matter only proves that there is some hope for our country! We aren’t protesting oklahoma government, as crooked as it is, but a failed federal government. We must stand up and show them and the other states that we are fed up! If we don’t they will continue to assume we are the “sheep” that allowed this to happen by keeping quiet for so many years. The attitude of what difference can one person make or rather “what difference could I make” must change with each of us. We must take responsibility for our actions, change our attitudes and stand up and make our message clear. We, as americans, can no longer afford to be silent! We must protest! As far as taking america back, protest is the best place to start. Our founding fathers started the revolution with protest, let us follow in their footsteps. If our government would just do that, we would be not having this discussion. I took an oath to protect my country from all enemies, foreign and domestic, I will keep that oath but God forbid it come to that!
This goes beyond just taxes. When past generations were defending this country and their home do you think they had seen this for the future of their children. I don’t think they foreseen sitting on their stoop and watching some legislature walk up the road to tell them that a new law has been passed or a right had been amended because some group from another state a 1000 miles away did not like how they lived. Things like abortion would have never passed in this region if it had been left to the people of that state to vote on the issues. And you can see what is happening at a very fast pace. I am 36 years old and the state that I grew up in no longer exist.
Here are some ideas for banners and signs;
The Audacity of Unfair Taxation
Taxes: Nightmare of my Fathers
Impeach Now or Pay Later
Taxes High, We Want Them Low
BHO Has Got To Go
Geithner the Tax Chief (draw a line through “Chief” and scrawl next to it CHEAT)
Comments to make to the press:
“A recession has been used by these opportunists to enslave future generations to the government. We will jump to collectivism and socialism in one generation”
“Why didn’t they just give every taxpayer a check for something around $15,000 (or; “their equal share of all those trillions”)? Then, whether it was saved and helped the liquidity of the banks, or spent, those trillions in the hands of those who make up the economy, we the people, would have seen the recession entering history by now.”
“BHO is passionately fulfilling the hallucinogen addled visions of mid-twentieth century radical secular progressives. This is not what the country voted for, though we should have seen it coming vis a vis his past associations.”
“How does trashing the economy, with suffocating debt, for the foreseeable future help us cure economic woes?”
Is anyone starting a tea party in Bartlesville. I will help if I can not go to OKC.
There is one in Bartlesville, my folks are going, it’s at the front steps of City Hall. Go to teapartyday.com for the info.
I totally agree we have let it go too far.But thru tea tea party the message will be known.However there needs to to be a massive gathering in D.C.That would get their attention.we the people need to put term limits on them.
Anybody else in Lawton wanting there to be a demonstration here? Not many of us are going to be able to make it to OKC at noon on a Wednesday. If it’s the same time (1200-1300), alot of soldiers would be able to come out too.
Liberals are the Sheep & Idiots. A Good conservative listens to both sides, then decides whether he or she wants to be Dictated to or be FREE to make up their own minds. I VOTE for FREEDOM. I don’t want to have to pay to get a permit to build a shed on my property. I haven’t smoked for 15 years, and this TAX their putting on tobacco is soooo wrong. Liberals will tax us and Squash our Freedoms till we’re just another 3rd. world country if we don’t do something. TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY. ‘Work for what you want, don’t expect others to support you. Where is our Pride in our U.S.A. & it’s citizens?
I believe there are three reasons our republic is in danger:
1. The 17th Amendment. Direct election of senators removed a vital check the states had on the federal government, which led to
2. The encroachment of the national government far beyond that permitted by the Constitution by liberal courts ignoring the 10th Amendment and abusing the interstate commerce clause to include most anything desired, and
3. The concentration of news into the three national networks and “who, what when where” reporters being replaced with “journalists” who are cheerleaders.
The sovereignty laws being considered here and in several other states may be the beginning in redressing the overreach by the national government. It will probably take a constitutional crisis wherein the states refuse to cooperate any longer.
Boren and Coburn both need to go. Coburn talks pretty then votes for what he talks against. He did this as a Representative too.
I’m astonished to see so many Okies coming out against the spending committed by the Dubya Admin. Did you think wars costed NOTHING?
I’m also astonished to see no Tea Party anything going on in Enid. Perhaps Enid is the only town left that still supports Dubya.
Get your Tea Party t-shirts and sweatshirts at http://www.cafepress.com/partisantextile.
Wear your conservative battlegear with pride!
I’m thinking about putting individual city names on the fronts like the old Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts if there is interest. Email me with city suggestions.
Taxing Cow flagalents is going to be productive? Tell me how? Hindsight says we should have turned down the “stimulus” money too. Now OK the great is beholden to the mighty ones.
Memorial For America - Light A Candle For America
On Memorial Day, May 25th, 2009; the world will remember and mourn the loss of the many veterans that have gone to war to support our country, The United States of America.
We will pray for these fearless men and women who gave so selflessly of themselves to protect, honor and serve OUR country. They fought for the land that we call America. They fought for the right to live in our free world. They fought so that WE would not have to fight. Sadly, the world that they fought so very hard for is slowly diminishing before our eyes.
WE, as Americans, CANNOT continue to allow this to happen to OUR country, to OUR economy, and to OUR future.
So on this Memorial Day (May 25, 2009) thousands of Americans will also be mourning the rapid decline of the great country that we all once knew.
The “Memorial For America” will display both our sorrow and our faith for our country.
TOGETHER,WE CAN LIGHT THE WAY FOR OUR AMERICA TO COME HOME!
Please go to: http://www.MemorialForAmerica.com for more information on joining Americans for this event.
I agree that Inhoff and Istook have, for the most part done a good job, but this is happening
under their watch. Surveys have shown that most Americans think that congress is doing a bad job but their representative is doing a good job. The only solution is to get rid of them all. We also need to push for a constitutional amendment to allow the recall of US Senators and congressmen.
I read at the Snopes site that it might be wiser to send just the wrapper for the tea bags, as bulky packages would be intercepted and probably never make it to the intended recipient. So that is what I intend to do.
Hey, the Fair Tax is THE answer to this economy…
it’s not their money, it’s ours! Fairtax.org
Takes a chief to come up with a fabulous idea - I think I will do the same - Thanks, Brother

Maybe if the tea bag wrappers also go the media outlets it might draw some attention from them.
True, but they still need to see how their state, [the people] feel, and that we are not ok with what is going on, so they have our support to keep doing the work they are doing. They are working for us, it is up to us to let them know how we feel. God bless!
Here’s an extensive list of slogans for Tea Party signs. Also, included is a video that details how to make your own low-cost protest signs.
101 Tea Party Sign Slogans
Let’s take our nation back…
I’ll be there. I am really sick of Washington’s way of doing things. While most of our elected officials are doing the right thing and have the right mindset thye are far outnumbered. This should be a revolting message to Washington D.C. as a whole.
If there is going to be a tea party in Mcalester, please let me know……I sure would like to go…….. I am chronically ill and can’t travel far……but I want to add
my voice along with all the people who love this country and don’t like what these nuts are doing to it……
Tea parties are a nice token protest and I plan on attending although I probably will wear a mask/disguise since thanks to the Republican passed Patriot Act, I don’t need or wish to appear on any watch lists. The call I’m awaiting is the call to “get your affairs in order, pack up your arms/supplies and meet at X”…..Folks-I sadly believe we are not that far from the second revolution.
Support and defend the constitution of the United State against ALL enemies … is an oath I took VERY seriously and I don’t recall any expiration date on that oath.
What a bunch of f*cking pathetic, whining, sore loser, Doom and Gloomers…
The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling… Obama’s the Anti-Christ… The Communists/Socialists are Taking Over, One World Order… One World Order.. Squawk, squawk, squawk…
Don’t worry, we’ll be be laughing continuously at your moronic, vitriolic diatribes of idiocy well into the 21st Century.
Does anyone know if a Tea Party is being planned in Enid? I can’t make it to OKC or Tulsa on my lunch hour, but I would like to take part. Also, who are we supposed to send tea tags and strings to? Sending them to Inhofe, Coburn, or Lucas would be a waste of postage. They’re all on our side already. I’ve thought of taping them down on a sheet of paper so they don’t all bunch up in a corner of the envelope and maybe writing something on the paper like, “I vote and I’m mad as hell!” Any ideas?
I will support the tea party, but the only way to take back our government is with national term limits for EVERY STATE. Most politicians, Republican and democrat, are interested only in their own reelection and will promise anything to get your vote. Anyone who has held national office more than six years has been in Washington too long. Let’s start a movement to get rid of them ALL!
I trust Jim Inhofe to know the difference between a legitimate earmark for Oklahoma taxpayers and the pork that gets returned to our corrupt politicians in kickbacks. Note Michelle Obama’s $300k salary at the Chicago hospital which followed her hubby’s $million earmark for them. That position has been terminated. Which means they got to save a little of that money. Inhofe and Coburn are national treasures. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.” (Psalm 33:12a)
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17
“At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” Jeremiah 18:7-10
God’s rule over governments is not limited to Israel. These passages teach that God blesses nations who serve Him as Lord, and judges nations that forget Him and do not serve Him. In the second Psalm, God visits judgments upon those nations whose leaders defy God’s rule. The books of the prophets warn of severe judgments for sin upon many nations besides Israel. In Deuteronomy 4:5-6, God tells Israel that surrounding Gentile nations will see the wisdom of their law. Israel’s law was to be a light to the Gentile nations, to call them from sin to God, from judgment to blessing.
“Which God?” the secularists rebut, as if casting aspersions upon the true God by bringing idols up to his level will abate our obligation to obey Him. There is only one God, and the Holy Bible is His revelation to mankind. It is to Him we owe supreme allegiance, both as individuals and as a nation.
“But we have a separation of church and state” the attorneys rebut. The separation of powers of the church and state is a Christian doctrine, for the truth is found in Scripture, in the relationship between the Jewish religion and the leaders of their state. However, it should never be a separation of God and state, for this is sin and rebellion to God. The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Congress, not Ohio. As a matter of fact, the states who signed the Constitution had tax-subsidized Christian denominations, and this was not a violation of the First Amendment as our founders intended it. Even the leaders of the federal government publicly prayed to the God of the Bible and spent taxpayer dollars for the printing and distribution of Bibles in public schools. This was not a violation of the First Amendment as our forefathers intended it. Even our Supreme Court, in 1892, citing a plethora of historical evidence, said, “This is a Christian nation.” This judicial decree did not defy the First Amendment as our forefathers intended it. The First Amendment was intended to prevent a tax-subsidized Christian denomination, such as England’s Anglican church. The First Amendment was not intended to prevent the free exercise of religion for the states and the people, as it is so often abused today, but rather, was designed to protect the free exercise of their religion.
The Holy Bible, God’s Word to man, speaks to all matters of life; not just pertaining to personal salvation, but also to economic health, family life, the right to self defense, the right to liberty and property, criminal justice, the role and limitation of civil authorities, the relationship between the church and the state, and when armed revolution against established civil authority is justified. Where God speaks, we would be wise to listen and obey, for disobedience to God’s Word in a single matter is rebellion to God and brings judgment. He is a jealous God who will not share His glory with another. When we despise His Word in deference to autonomous leaders who seek to kick God out of His throne and put themselves there in His stead, we have already received “the mark of the beast”, for the mark is a man’s name and a sign that you worship the image of a man over God (Revelation 13-16).
When put in light of the Scripture and the lordship of Christ, we see that the whole world is a theocracy, for God rules over all and His Word is not bound. It is also easy to see that our government has become a godless government at war with God. The United States must repent, and serve the Creator instead of rebel against Him. We must obey His Word. We must not defer to sinful men who seek to pass laws that defy God’s law, who refuse to be “ministers of God” and “a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” as God’s Word instructs civil authorities (Romans 13:3-4). It is not those who take the mark who survive the wrath of God, it is those who resist idols to serve the one true God and His Son Jesus Christ.
America, choose you this day whom you will serve.
Patrick Johnston
Wake - Up ENID!!! Surrounding them is all good for nothing. The day of the Silent Majority is over, our freedoms are in real & present danger. If you love this country, if you want to leave it better than you found it. Then support this peaceful demonstration. Let your heart be heard or the days of big brother making your daily decisions over your life & of how to raise your children is just over the horizon.
High Noon April 15th at the State Capitol in Oklahoma City. Be there ! Anyone read the 5000 Year Leap? Principles of Freedom 101. Good reading and great sources.

Trish Pierpoint,
Email me at jasoncarini at gmail dot com and I will get you some info on the tea party in Enid.
I have seen two listings for Tulsa area Tea Parties. One at the Cube and one at the courthouse. Are there two parties in two different places at the same time? If so why? Shouldn’t we all meet at the same place and have one large group? I am not sure where to go. Help me out if you know the answer.
Well said. I don’t know how raising taxes on the rich from 35% to 39% is Socialism. The Social Security System is a form of socialism…..why don’t you retards turn down your socialistic Social Security income when the time comes? Most of these whiners will not even pay more income tax…..most of them do NOT make over $250,000. They just want a reason to whine. They need to get a life.
Go drink your cool aid
This is our chance to reclaim our country back from Washington D.C. and the slppery slope downward. We are proud of our Constitution. We are proud of our country. We are proud to be Americans. We want decency, transparency and truth to be the principles our country operates out of.
We are losing our status in the World, as China and Russia both have asked for the dollar to be dumped in favor of a new world currency. New York will no longer be the Financial Capital of the World. It will be overseas somwhere. We must stop this giveaway of our money which will give our children and grandchildren a life of debt that they cannot repay. It will drastically change the way we live right now. This downward spiral must end. No more bailouts.
It is important for us to support the Tea Party and stand with Americans all across the country. If you don’t participate then you will watch this Nation become another socialist country. What is after socialism is eventually dictators, communism or revolution. We want real Tax Reductions back in place and not $13 per week like Obama has offered. WE WANT REAL CHANGE. REAL HONESTY.
“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation enlightened as it is if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”
-Samuel Adams
Hammy, go take a spelling class.
Saw you were looking for something in SE OK. So am I!!! Wanna help me put somthing together?
Where’s the best place to have a Tea Party??? Dose it have to be near water? Like a lake or river? Lord knows we have plenty of those around here.
Looking for tea party in southeastern Oklahoma or Northeastern Texas.
The Tea party is a great idea but how about returning this country to God at the same time, after all that is where it went wrong. Let the Government know how you feel and your desire to put this county back on track while you can. 2 Chronicles 7: 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Please…

101 Tea Party Sign Slogans
Let’s take our country back.
Anyone meeting in Grove? I don’t have the day off, but willing to go to a rally in Grove.
To Chris - former communications specialist Ft Riley who was ripped off by a fellow soldier from Muskogee in the 70s.
Please accept my apologies for the skank who ripped you off. We’re not proud of some of our East OK neighbors - they tend to elect the worst thieves and scoundrels they can find (we call them ‘the Okla. mafia’). Unfortunately, every family has some ‘black sheep’, and I ask that you not view all Okies from that experience. Most of us are honest, hard-working and respectful of others,
I’m also the mom of former Ft Riley personnel who complained often about the lack of unity and mutual respect allowed to thrive at that base, which I call ‘the armpit of Army bases’. It starts and ends with command that doesn’t focus on morale. I’ve traveled the US on my own dime since 911 in support of the troops, and have helped send thousands of care packages to Iraq & Afghanistan. OK Military Mom (Go Blue Star Moms!)
Hey John! I’m in SE OK too….around Eufaula. I see there’s one in Muskogee, but I was hoping for something a little closer to home.
We need a good strong candidate for Dist 2, SE Oklahoma. We’d love to have a Republican down here.
Minnie, we’re having a tea party…Wednesday, April 15th, Noon, Federal Building-301 East Carl Albert-McAlester, OK. Come bring your signs (we’ll have sign making materials too), Flags and noise makers.
Enough is Enough…we have to take a stand.
Jan
Yes. several. Ours is planned at LaFortune Park on the 15th. please visit our web site for details. we would love to have you. sign up and you will receive our email notices. Thanks
Please check our web site out http://www.okfortea.com. we are meeting at noon on April 15, LaFortune Park in Tulsa. Sign up on our site for email alerts and news. Come help us send a strong message to the weassels in washington that the Revolution is coming…..
Really? That is the best you have? If you do not believe that we are headed to socialism(socialized medicine, bailouts) and fascism(control of means of production/ GE, Chrysler), what part of Obama’s policies do you agree with that promote freedom and personal liberty? this is a movement based upon principles that were founded within the Founding and in the Federalist Papers (Madison, etc.). If you want to engage in an intelligent conversation, let’s do that. If not, you previous post of hysterics will speak for themselves….
Hi Dwayne,
About dumping five gallons of tea at the rally…I don’t know which rally you are talking about, but if you dump it at the OKC Tea Party rally on April 15, that may cost me $500.00. I was the one who signed for the permit with the State Capitol, and they specifically said no liquids or food are allowed, because they’re concerned about damage to the granite steps. While I realize tea would not damage steps, they were clear that I would be held personally responsible if liquids were brought and dumped.
~Dianne
If any of you have a tea party rally planned in your area, we’ll be happy to post about it on the Oklahoma City Tea Party Movement’s website and facebook page. Just email us at [email protected] and give us the following information:

Good luck to everyone planning rallies! It’s wonderful to see so many people planning rallies all across our state.
McAlester, Ok in front of Federal Bldg. 301 E Carl Albert Parkway. April 15 at noon bring signs, noisemakers voices
Boren has got to GO!!!! Why can’t we get a decent conservative to run next year? The guy running last year didn’t campaign at all and still pulled over 30% of the votes. Even though Boren is a “Blue Dog” he will still vote the party line, and the Democratic party line is destroying our country. Anybody read the Fall of the Roman Empire…looks eerily familiar to the path we are on.
I haven’t found one, yet, John. But we need one. We all need to fly our Flags that day, upside down to show OUR unity, and the distress and danger, we fill America is in. Everyone that agrees with the tea parties, but have to be on the road, needs to drive with lights on all day. Any way we can, we need to get their attention, so they will listen, but the elite in Washington, do not believe a bunch of hay seeds like all of us can mean what we say, or understand what they are talking about. They believe they can pull a bait and switch and change our direction, like with AIG. They honestly believe we all have A.D.D.
We need to whip out the money changers first. Then the rest will come.
Jacob not just the 9/12 but also the utube “We the People 2009 Thomas Paine” google it and watch your will get the message. It is terms for surrender. Ask for no quarter and give none. We need to be united in what we want also. Okla only has one right now that needs to go because he did vote YES without reading. Mary Fallin is running for Gov and whoever replaces her needs to understand the same ole same isn;t going to work.
Everyone better put in their 2 cents while they still have it. That is Change LOL.
I just created a website for sharing Tea Party sign ideas.

If you think that this is useful, add your favorite slogans and please spread the word!
I do not have to follow Rush Limbaugh to know that Obama is the worst president that american have ever had. He surpasses Jimmy Carter. Obama is anti american and his every action of late has only confirmed this in my mind.
You are the idiot how needs to take your head out of the sand then stop look and listen. All of the people of america are not wrong. If you think that then just maybe you need to load up with Obama and leave our wonderful UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
If anyone knows of a tea party being held in the Idabel or Broken bow area, please let me know at [email protected]. I would really like to participate in this event. We need to do something to get our country back from this socialist goverment.. DAN BOREN needs to GO!!! I have never liked him have not voted for him or his disgusting DAD.. PLease help!!!
Hey “Ben Franklin”,
It’s obvious from your moniker and your screed that you’re a man of great bravery and wisdom.
Your messiah, Obama, is the one who was taking party drugs, not Rush (back pain relief medication) Limbaugh. Your lying VP Joe “Pinnochio” Biden IS one of the biggest liers of all time, not George W., though there were too many instances in which his trying to get along and be civil led him astray from the principles of Ronald Reagan, which resurrected this nation from the pre-Obama malaise of Carter. You really need to learn factual history instead of indulging in political fantasy for fools.
I also resent being called a sheep. I’ve been involved with cattle all my life and don’t really have the time of day for those sad little creatures, but come to think of it, that fits for you too.
The real sheep in this country are the absolute fools who bought into the lies and deception of the evil one and supported the empty one. They followed their shepherds in the mass media and willing sold their souls to a fraud, just as the MSM has already done.
If you wish to be led like sheep to the slaughter, knock yourself out but don’t try and talk the rest of us into buying into your sheep excrement. We know better.

I watched the video of Coburn’s speech in the Senate and agree that he is a Patriot!
Wonderful opportunity to finally make a statement about planned tax increases and out of control spending that is so outgrageous, it is hard to believe. Both wife and I will attend tea party in OKC.
Tornado, fire, anything that befalls us has to be paid by Oklahomans. We must stop going to the government well. All liberal’s note that OK is a welfare state. For every $1.00 we pay in taxes we get back a $1.53. Just say NO to government aid. Toughen up OK. Demand the govenor to not ask the President to declare OK a disaster site. Forget teabags until OK is not a state on the federal welfare rolls.
Is there one in Mcalester? We are not strangers to corruptness. I think we are the only city in the U.S. that has a courthouse named after a convicted felon…. I hope we have a tea party here. I would certainly go.
It’s time we realized neither party cares about the people, only maintaining or obtaining political power. Of course there are a few in each major party that still believe in the constitution but they are becoming fewer and fewer. As a former Democratic party official and now registered independant I say it is time for the people to send a message to both parties that they work for us, not those who wine and dine them. From the local politicos to the elites in Washington DC. they no longer care about our concerns, except at election time. Then they will tell us what we want to hear, but, after the election do what they and their “Big Money” special interest supporters want. These Tea Parties are the first in what I hope will be a march back to Democarcy and away from what is fast becoming an Oligarchy.

This is about the only way we have to protest! Of course, by the next election, people will have short memories and still vote for all the ‘freebies’ not realizing that down the road SOME ONE has to pay and it will not only be our children, but our grandchildren and grat-grandchildren. But hey, for all of you who wasnted Obama and the Democratic congress - you got what you wanted. From now on I would be careful of what I wished for!
I think the bail out money, plus the bonuses, should be returned to the revenue service and given to those who worked their butts off AND LOST TONS IN THEIR 401K’s! And those are NOT the rich - they are just average joes - like my son who is a workaholic (to provide for his 3 kids), lost a ton in 401K, overtime cut off and now he is facing losing his RENTAL home and his USED car!
FOLKS-
Do not fall into the traps set by lefties during the tea parties. People just like “truthteller” will be there posing as tax protesters.
They’ll be the loud ones shouting about race and violence. They’ll be the ones trying to draw to negative attention on the protests. They’ll be the ones hogging the newsman’s mic. They’ll be the ones doing their best to make it look like their ‘crazy’ actions are those of everyday conservatives.
Don’t let them…Shout them down when they talk about violence or use racial slurs. Crowd them out if they try to carry signs with inflamatory words. In short- DO NOT LET THE HACKS FROM ACORN OR THE LOONEY LEFT WINGERS SABOTAGE THE PROTEST YOU ATTEND.
Point them out to the media…refuse to allow them to use your right to protest as a platform for political subterfuge.
Little Dixie Tea Party… That’s great! When and where. We’ll be there.
Enid is having two tea parties: One will be at Noon at the intersection of Van Buren and Garriott on 4/15. The second one will be at 5:00 at the Gazebo on the square. Bring your own signs. See you there.

HEY LEE, All those Programs are administered by who? We’re broke! The real numbers will be nothing like your post. That money will be used to grow the size of Oklahoma’s Government and Entitlement Programs. Which means higher taxes and less freedom for us all.
The Cap and Trade Tax. This something every person should fine out about. Your Taxs will double this is going to try to pass in august of this year.on your electric bill and gas bill a lots people cannot pay their bills as is . My sign will be NO CAP AND TRADE TAX Mary
I hear the recession will be over in September. Do they think we are idiots!
I am tired of the propaganda coming out of Washington and the pack of lies they feed us daily. It is definitely time to end this regime.

Thank you for all your hard work and have a great time on the 15th.
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Is there going to be a Tea Party in Claremore area?
Is there not going to be one taking place in Stillwater? If not, why?
True and Sen. Colburn voted for the bailouts. I think it was a trade off because Sen Inhofe was up for re-election. I do beleive they both have done SOME good work for Oklahoma but, they ARE party players. I’m just saying.

I read in Sunday’s paper a Teaparty is planned for Wednesday,April 15, at the gazebo on the courthouse lawn at 5 p.m. Hope to see you there!

I do not want to see this become a socialist country. I too have been to the middle east and have seen the effects of socialization there. Those countries have the largest number of people living in poverty. The corruption is extreme! When you destroy free enterprise and capitalism, prosperity diminishes, and there are fewer opportunities to work and succeed. We need to reform our voting system. Identification should have to be shown to vote in every election. Those who will protect the freedom and prosperity of citizens of the US should be elected. We need to stop sending aid to foreign governments, as it does not help those who most need it there anyhow. We also need to stop giving aid to illegal immigrants. Corporate bailouts are a mistake and a crime against the American people. They will destroy the economic future of our children. Bailouts won’t provide jobs. Let’s look at the auto industry. The money given to them will be used to downsize and further automate their assembly and operating processes. They are just going to try to survive, not grow! In the “real world”, you structure your finances conservatively to succeed and prosper. If you operate in a way that bankrupts your company, you need to realize it means the end of that company.
Our government is trillions of dollars in debt! Do you want to work and have them manage your money for you? How foolish to think socialism can or will give you everything you want! All that happens is that the government takes what you have and uses it to have more and more control.
Boren is representing the folks that elected him. funny how that works.
I think we need to reform into a comunist country then nobody would have to worry about taxes it would be up to the government. Vote me joseph kuhn leader of our country or like i would say my country
Joe,
Hope you are joking. Or are you an idiot?
Put up signs that say
“Impeach BOZObama”
President Obama wants to raise the tax rate on the HIGHEST-INCOME Americans back to about 10 percentage points LESS than it was for most of the Reagan administration. For that, he’s being called a “socialist” and a “communist.”
I remember when the John Birch Society was calling Dwight D. Eisenhower a communist. Of course, back then most everybody knew the Birchers were a bit nuts. Nowadays “John Birch” style rhetoric will get you a show on Fox News.
A sad day to be from Oklahoma
Everyone of the Oklahoma Congressional delegation needs to go except Coburn. Everyone had ear marks in the last spending bill except Coburn. Tell us one thing in Oklahoma and then vote another way in Washington. The only way that the American people will ever stop the madness is to vote EVERYONE out of office. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue; none of them have the American taxpayer’s interest in mind they only want to save their political futures while they are bankrupting this country.
I’m amazed at the amount of anger I see when I read the blogs. I think we all go along thinking only of self, then when things are in a mess we see it as ‘those politicians’ or someone else who has caused the problem. I hope we, as a citizens of this great country, will begin see the purpose of life is not so that we can ‘be happy’, but that we live for a cause that is much more important that self.
This tea party should not just be for Democrats or Republicans but for all of our Government Officials if you remember the Republicans had a chance and messed up trying to please everyone instead of doing what is good for this Great Country!
I also can’t believe that WE allow them to be there for 30-50 years, that is how we let them get corrupt nor should they ever be allowed to take money from Specials Interest Groups while in Office you and I can never ever compete with that so they Winn and we pay!
They all set the rules and make the laws that involves all of us, but you and I do not have a say in that unless you are from that State that they represent and support them or other wise you will ignored in my opinion that law is not “For WE THE PEOPLE”! We are One Nation and we should all have a say no matter which State they represent they are also working for all of us and we all pay them!
Chandler, Oklahoma in Lincoln county will be having our TEA party on the courthouse lawn on the 15th at 5:30 pm!! Everyone welcome! contact [email protected] for more info.
Nothing in Ardmore? Somehow I am not surprised at all by that… If there is something other than a line at Workforce Oklahoma in this area I guess I will stay home and continue to be amazed by the lack of concern by my neighbors.
Situation of previous thirty years fits “Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” almost like a blueprint. Author is Gibbons, if you can find it.
Hey, Oklahoma. When was the last time you bought something “made in America”? Did you ever think we created our own economic crisis by buying whatever cheap? Cheap means not American Made. WE are to blame.
Have you ever wondered if the CEOs were paid something not so stratospheric our “Made in America” would cost less. Why does anyone need to get paid multi million$? Who can be worth that? Boards of directors allow it and stock holders don’t object. WE are to blame.
When you look at yourself in the mirror to you see a sheep looking back? Not in Oklahoma but the rest of America voted for an unknown man to be president and NOW we are hearing talk of socialism. Did anyone have a idea before the election that this was the kind of man who would bring this kind of “change”?
“To announce that there be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” -Theodore Roosevelt
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Benjamin Franklin

Bob says he wants to sign up
Tea Party scheduled in Ponca City, OK downtown at the water fountain at 12:00 p.m.
Hope we can get the word out in time.
There is a Tea Party tomorrow 15 April in Durant, Oklahoma at 11th and Mississippi beginning at 3:30 pm til 7:00pm
The first thing that makes my skin crawl, is when someone elect a democrat or a republican. It’s NOT a party that makes it bad-IT’S THE MAN OR WOMAN. They are just as many crooks in both parties. We have continued to re-elect the same idiots term after term. The American people need to pull there head out and get them all out. We the people have to re-take control of our government. The American Government is what the problem is-it’s not just one or two, it’s all. They do as they please, not as we please. PUT A STOP TO IT, GET THEM OUT, RE-TAKE CONTROL OF OUR COUNTRY.
Sorry to see that my whole entire county is not having a tea party, but I believe that most of the residents of Sequoyah County - regretably - support everything Obama does blindly! How sad.
I won’t be able to attend because of my daughters school outing, but will be their in thoughts and prayers that this will accomplish something. I only hope someone in Washington takes notice that we are all fed up. Will there be another tea party in Tulsa? I noticed some cities have scheduled more than one?
Jan S.
Maybe if we plan a gathering for July 4 in Ardmore,which will be the next tea party. I really think there is enough interest. No one has stepped up to the plate to organize it.
Well im gonna go to muskogee, i dont believe in all of this and i think that if our founding fathers saw the government today they would have a heart attack. The us gov is supposed to b for the ppl, by the ppl, so if we say we dont wanna pay these taxes, we shouldnt have to because we said so. The gov has way too much power and we need to get together and give them a reality check
Of course, the Fair Tax Plan is the answer; I hope that Huckabee continues to promote it aggressively. This would solve our economic woes and return us to the greatest economic power on earth. But theres so much security for so many in the status quo that its unlikely to happen soon. DON’T GIVE UP.

Just came back from the Oklahoma City gathering and it was AWESOME! Someone had set up 1500 American flags on the ‘mall’ in front of the Capitol, so as you’re walking up the street you saw a mass of American flags. The turnout was large and enthusiastic - much bigger than I expected! I am terrible at guessing crowds, but I’d venture to say it was between 5,000 and 10,000 (the media had been predicting 1,500-2,000).
Great to see so many patriotic Americans standing up and saying ‘Enough is enough!’.
Yes! It was awsome. It was great to see that kind of turn-out and enthusiasm at the Capitol. It was disappointing though to see the Lack of ethnic diversity in the crowd. We need Unity as well as numbers to make a real difference.
Photos of the THOUSANDS of people at the Tulsa Tea Party!

I agree with you whole-heartedly. We all need to march on Washington. The politicians are out of control and only seem to have their best interest in mind. I say it is time to start a third political party and clean house in Washington. I believe that through peaceful means and persistance, America can be great once again.
Fox has done a great job on this, but CNN, MSNBC, NBC, etc. simply laughed at us all day yesterday and through last night. I was ready to throw my remote at my brand new TV last night when I checked to see what Keith Oberman was saying.
The local OKC media coverage wasn’t a whole lot better.
I watched 3 of the 4 9:00/10:00 newscasts, and they gave us about 30 seconds, 10 minutes into the telecast.
The Daily Oklahoman (which I canceled my subscription to this morning) gave two paragraphs on it Wednesday morning, and not enough today - plus they understated the number of national rallies by a large amount.
It’s time to do more than this. I’m bringing 20 people on July 4th, and challenge everyone else to do the same. Heck, make it a picnic! If that day doesn’t send a message, it will be time to take a stronger stance.
I attended my tax day tea party and was filled with new hope when I saw so many Americans taking a stand together all across this nation. I have been filled with fear by the direction this president and his cabinet and Dem congress have been taking this Nation…..I do not want to live under socialism, Liberal fascism, or the so called “new World Order” (dictatorship) that so many elected officials have been Bantering..For me that would be as if the very air I breath were no longer free…..We The People….can not stop now…there is Memorial Day, The Fourth of July…We can spread the word..reach out to others that were unaware…I talked to three people today that said they just found out about it on the news last night…….Remember 911 how this nation came together …flying flags in front of their homes…flags and bumper stickers on their cars…there was a Patriotism that connected us from sea to shining sea……We can Unify….honk at one another when we see another American Flying a flag from His Anttenna knowing full well that he agrees with you……..I read a quote today and would like to share it with you…..”When a people fear their Government it is called TYRANNY. but when the Government fears its constituency it is called LIBERTY…..by Thomas Jefferson…….I think that they fear what we are doing….otherwise why would Sen. Rockefeller introduce bill 793 and 794 giving the federal Government control of the Internet…..they will be able to black it out when they feel there is a threat….there thinking is that it will control dissent among the people….I for one will not lay down and let them roll over me……I am writing to all my representatives and the White House…as long as we stand together they can NOT defeat us…ONE NATION UNDER GOD……..Plus I am elated that 33 of our states have either declared or proposed Sovereignty under the 2nd, 9th and 10th amendment……Texas was number 33 past on April 9th…….so the states are declaring war against the Government as well…not that they actually want to secede because they know that all it takes is 2/3 of the states to oust the Federal Government and replace it with one chosen BY THE PEOPLE…They are all saying they will not take Bailout money with string attached to it……lets keep the heat on……
