Boehner: Taxpayer Tea Parties a Sign That Americans Have Had Enough of Washington’s Taxing, Spending, and Borrowing

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement on Tax Day 2009:

“April 15th has long been and always will be a day American workers and their families despise – and rightfully so. It is the symbol of a government that has grown too big, too costly, and too arrogant, as it asks Americans for more and more of their hard-earned money to pay for wasteful government programs that never go away.

“But this Tax Day is different. Across our nation, thousands of Americans are participating in taxpayer tea parties today for one simple reason: overtaxed families and small businesses have had enough. They’ve had enough of Democrats forcing taxpayers to pick up the tab for more wasteful spending instead of working together to make the tough fiscal decisions Americans are forced to make each and every day. They’ve had enough of seeing their hard-earned tax dollars wasted on pork-barrel spending that won’t create jobs, rebuild their savings, or get our economy moving again. And they’ve had enough of Congress and the White House mortgaging our children and grandchildren’s future by saddling them with mountains of debt destined to bankrupt our country.

“House Republicans share the American people’s frustration and are proposing better solutions to reduce taxes and get Washington’s fiscal house back in order. We’ve proposed a plan to create twice the jobs as the Democrats’ ‘stimulus’ spending bill – 6.2 million total jobs – at half the cost. While Democrats just passed a budget that scrapped President Obama’s promise of a middle-class tax cut, we have offered a budget that curbs spending, creates jobs by cutting taxes, and controls the debt. And we’re crafting reforms to reduce energy costs and expand Americans’ access to affordable health care. It’s time for Washington Democrats to listen to the American people who have had enough and work with Republicans on common sense solutions to get our economy moving again – without raising taxes.”

Sean Hannity Comes Home for Tax Day Tea Party

PRLog - Smart Girl Politics today announced Sean Hannity will return to his "second hometown" to broadcast his FOXNews show, “Hannity,” live from the Atlanta Tax Day Tea Party on April 15th.

"We are honored that Sean is coming back to Atlanta to cover our event," said Jenny Beth Martin, one of the Tea Party volunteer organizers. "I'm amazed at how fast the movement has grown in the course of just five weeks."

Mrs. Martin, a member of Smart Girl Politics, helped to organize the original Tea Party in February. The Atlanta event is a part of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition (NTPC), the coordinator of both this and the prior Nationwide Chicago Tea Party held February 27, 2009.

The NTPC was formed February 20, 2009 by three grassroots organizations: Smart Girl Politics (SGP), Dontgo Movement (Dontgo), and Top Conservatives on Twitter (TCOT). To date, over 300 Tax Day Tea Party events are planned in cities and towns across America.

“From coast-to-coast, people can find an April 15th event nearby and come out to voice their opposition to the outrageous spending coming from Washington DC,” said Stacy Mott, founder of Smart Girl Politics.

SGP is working to bring together a broad coalition of conservatives, Libertarians, Blue Dog Democrats, and independents in order to deliver a message to Congress and the President: repeal the spending or we will retire you at the ballot box.

"SGP is a conservative organization and while we will fight to stand for our conservative principles, the tea parties are not a conservative event." said Mott. "We hope that regardless of your party affiliation, people will stand with us and tell Congress and the White House to stop spending our future."

Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, Dana Loesch, GOPUSA, American Solutions, and Americans for Tax Reform have all come together to endorse the Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.
