Tea Party Rally Against Connolly Spending

Friday October 22: Tea Party Rally Against Connolly Spending

Congressman Gerry Connolly has participated in the largest expansion of federal power in our nation’s history. While he has tried to cast himself as a "deficit hawk", he has voted with Nancy Pelosi’s radical big government agenda 97% of the time, including the disastrous, budget-busting Obamacare! Come join your fellow patriots and let Gerry know we want a return to smaller government and fiscal responsibility in the 11th Congressional District!

Where: Near Gerry Connolly’s office, 4308 Ridgewood Center Dr. Woodbridge, VA 22192 (on the Prince William Parkway sidewalk) When: Friday, October 22, 2010 2:45 pm to 3:45 pm Why: To encourage Congressman Gerry Connolly to reject the radical leftist agenda of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and President Obama.!

More on the Northern Virginia Tea Party – Crystal Clear Conservative

In an earlier post, I mentioned that I was going to conduct an interview with the organizer of the Northern Virginia Tea Party, and I followed through with this by interviewing Ron Wilcox, who is organizing the Tea Party, which will be taking place at the Merrifield Post Office on April 15^th from 5-7 p.m. I would like to thank Mr. Wilcox for his time, and I hope to see everyone at this event.

CCC: Why did you decide to throw a tea party?
RW: I was fed up with the out of control spending by the current Administration. The Administration is closely coordinating with the media to tamp down any opposition to their policies. Americans feel that NO ONE in Washington is listening to them. The silent responsible majority needs to be given a voice to counter the daily spin in the mainstream media.

I also felt the need for the I decided to organize Northern Virginia Tax Day Tea Party, because I felt that there was a real need to organize Northern Virginia for this and future Tea Party events. The DC event is in the middle of a work day preventing participation by many and others who simply do not like to go into DC for logistical reasons. Organizers say that we are on track to have 1250 tea parties nationwide with the goal of as many as 2009.

CCC: How many people do you anticipate to have at the event?
RW: I anticipate 200 or more people that are fed up with out of control Government, the area I have selected will be seen by every single person going to pay their taxes and could facilitate hundreds more demonstrators stretching down both sides of Lee Highway.

CCC: Have you experienced any issues with arranging a site for the tea party?
RW: We do not require a permit for our area but are working with the traffic authorities for everyone’s safety.

CCC: Will there be any guest speakers at this event? If so, who?
RW: We have invited State Senator [and current Attorney General candidate] Ken Cuccinelli and Congressman Frank Wolf.

CCC: Do you hope that this will spur other activist events in the future?
RW: Do I ever! Silent majority no more. We have a form on our web page so that people can sign up to get involved and be informed of this and other similar upcoming events.

CCC: What other groups have partnered with you to make this event possible?
RW: We are working with a number of civic minded individuals and groups. We are working with the DC Tax Day Tea Party and the Virginia Tax Day Tea Parties to help publicize our events. Also, we are coordinating with the Reston Tax Day Tea Party for maximum impact and attendance. The Reston event is being organized by the American Conservative Party. We will be posting their event on our website shortly when we have worked out a few details. We are also looking to work with the Leadership Institute for a 4th of July Tea party at their annual Conservative Soiree at Bull Run Park.

Tea Party Meet: Co-option Concerns — But Tough Proposals

“‘Is the governor going to fight for limited government, or is he going to be soft on limited government? You hear a lot of chatter about it. But let me just say this: The governor was elected for limited government and lower taxes. He needs to follow that,” said Ron Wilcox of Fairfax County, founder of the Northern Virginia Tea Party. ‘There’s been some troubling signs. I won’t deny that. But there’s still time.’” - - The Washington Post

The Washington Post’s Anita Kumar highlights a growing concern among grass-roots conservatives in her report late yesterday evening “At Va. tea party gathering, insurgents worry GOP will ‘co-opt the movement’ ” - -

“‘Some number of elected officials make sense, but we don’t want to come off like this is the establishment,’ said Dan Arnold, chairman of the Manassas Tea Party, which formed in April and boasts more than 200 members. ‘Our job is to hold the establishment accountable.’

The tea party, still in its infancy in Virginia, includes many members who supported McDonnell and fellow Republicans Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II last year but still consider themselves independents or libertarians. Some even voted for Democrats in past years.

‘Some in our group are worried it will be too much of a Republican show and they are letting Republicans control it,’ said Robert Alexander of Newport News, one of the organizers of the Peninsula Tea Party, which was created on tax day in 2009. ‘Everyone is concerned the Republicans are going to co-opt the movement.’” (Underscoring Forum’s.)

Tea Party Proves to Be a Political Force with Staying Power

This is a great article about the future of the Tea Party movement.
This gives us hope that that policies that have been advanced by the liberals in Congress and the White House can be rolled back.
