Help Me Crash the Tea Party

The tea party morons are rallying again in Cinncinatti, Chicago, Denver, and other cities. We need to shut them down.

Call your senators and representatives. Tell them to end the IRS hearings and let the IRS investigate the tea party groups.

I also suggest counter rallying. We need to have progressive rallies out by them and drown their voices out with ours.

If we sit out again like we did in 2010, the tea party reps will take back the senate, repeal Obamacare, and shove their corporate fascism down our throats.

I currently rely on the affordable care act and I'll be screwed if it's repealed.

Back in 2010, I donated to Gabby Giffords campaign. When I found out about the attempt on her life and the other people that fell victim to Jared Loughner, that was the last straw. I severed connections with my teabagger friends, called up republican representatives in and from my state to yell at them, and started to campaign for my friend who was running for state representative as a Democrat. He lost, but it felt good to stand up for what I know is right.

No more excuses.

I'm with you ALL THE WAY. I too am relying on the Affordable Care Act as I have a pre-existing condition. As we've learned from the 2010 and 2012 elections, we have enough voters to beat the righties but ONLY IF WE ALL GET OUT AND VOTE!

EVERY ELECTION, EVERY TIME...GET OUT AND VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT...

BECAUSE IT DOES!
