Tea Party rally update
Press release from the Cincinnati Tea Party:
The Cincinnati Tea Party is proud to partner with regional groups to present the Voice of America Freedom Rally, September 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Voice of America Park Museum in West Chester. The rally will feature America’s voice, along with the voices of average citizens who are becoming engaged in the political process and holding their representatives accountable. Music, entertainment, and booths begin at 1:00 p.m.; the speakers and town hall program begin at 2:30 p.m.
Our regional partners include the Cincinnati 9/12 Project, the Dayton Tea Party, the Indiana Tea Party, and the Ohio Liberty Council. All partners share in our vision of fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets.
Cincinnati 9/12 Project - The Cincinnati 9/12 Project’s mission is to take back our country by shifting power from Washington politicians to the people whom they represent. The intent is to regain the balance of power among municipalities, states, and the federal government as originally envisioned by our Founding Fathers and as originally captured in the Constitution. The organization was founded in February 2009 as part of a national initiative to unite all Americans─regardless of political orientation─in pursuing events and actions that drive our politicians to follow Constitutional principles and values. They will be rallying at the 9/12 event in Washington, DC, on September 12.
Dayton Tea Party - The Dayton Tea Party is a grassroots, nonpartisan group opposed to wasteful government spending. It is made up of students, homemakers, working people, and professionals from all political persuasions.
Indiana Tea Party - The Indiana Tea Party’s mission is to restore limited government, fiscal responsibility, and accountable representation through citizen activism and education, in order to preserve the Constitution for the United States of America. This group has been an active voice in events such as the Patients First “Hands Off My Health Care†bus tour, the Lafayette Tea Party at the offices of Senators Lugar and Bayh, the ACORN counterprotest in Fort Wayne, the Tax Day Tea Party, and the Independence Day Tea Party. They, too, will be rallying at the 9/12 event in Washington, DC, on September 12.
Ohio Liberty Council - The Ohio Liberty Council is a coalition of nonpartisan groups in Ohio, including the Americans for Prosperity, Buckeye Firearms Association, Central Ohio 9/12 Project, Cincinnati 9/12 Project, Cincinnati Tea Party, Columbus Tea Party, Dayton Tea Party, Ohio Free State Organizations, Ohio Freedom Alliance. The council began in June 2009 as a way to connect liberty-minded Ohioans. The group communicates on issues, but more importantly, seeks to create concerted action among the groups. By working together, the council intends to achieve real results to protect and promote liberty in Ohio. The most important issue facing Ohio is state sovereignty, which will be the initial focus of the group.
America’s voice will be heard on September 5, as it was during World War II, from the historical site of wartime broadcasts that were heard around the world. The very first VOA program in 1944 began, “We shall speak to you about America and the war. The news may be good or it may be bad, but we will tell you the truth. (Source: Ohio History Central, An Online Encyclopedia of Ohio History)

About the Cincinnati Tea Party
The Cincinnati Tea Party is a grassroots, nonpartisan group opposed to wasteful government spending. Our core values are fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. Our goals include influencing elections for the betterment of America, promoting state sovereignty (Federalism), and compelling our elected officials to comply with the Constitution as written by our Founders. The Cincinnati Tea Party was founded by a group of lifelong Cincinnatians in February 2009. In April 2009, Community Tea Parties were launched to allow local leaders to spread the core values at the neighborhood level.

A Tea Party by any other name is still a rally by the conservative right and is intended to undermine the administration of Obama who is reasserting constutionality after the Bush group decimated the constitution for 8 years. This group would consider their rally a success only if the song to be sung is that of keeping health care in the hands of the private insurers who presently make your healthcare decisions for you. All can feel comfortable rallying around the concept of freedom, but we have to ask what “freedoms” do we want back? What has been taken away? If anything has been, the Bush years are culpable.

The tea party supporters are non-partisan, and only wish to return to the constitutional principles of limited government, legal accountability, fiscal responsibility and national security. The Founders’ greatest fear was an intrusive, too powerful central government, and that is what has been metastasizing for over 40 years. Where are the trillions of excess SSA and Medicare assets? Spent on pork and political interests. Keep taxes low and close to home where the spenders can be watched. Just look at and listen to the members of Congress, the bureaucrats, the czars, etc. Let’s return to some semblance of national self-reliance and sanity. See ya at the rally!

Leigh, I want the freedoms back that are taken away when your government overloads you with debt. The freedom to make choices on how the money I earned is invested and spent rather than taken from me by the government so that they can line the pockets of their special interests. “By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer Jim Kuhnhenn, Associated Press Writer Tue Aug 25, 7:49 pm ET WASHINGTON Most red ink ever: $9 trillion over next decade - Yahoo! News Source: news.yahoo.com In a chilling forecast, the White House is predicting a 10-year federal deficit of $9 trillion more than the sum of all previous deficits since America’s founding. And it says by the next decade’s end the national debt will equal three-quarters of the entire U.S. economy.

The Tea Party members comes from all parties who are very concerned and want to get involved in making sure the government is responsible and representative. We want honest answers. For all who like to read, try Sinclair Lewis’s novel, It Can’t Happen Here. All this is very exciting. Looking forward to a wonderful event and meeting.

Leigh writes:”All can feel comfortable rallying around the concept of freedom, but we have to ask what freedoms do we want back?”. What an utterly amazing statement, are you American? I for one refuse to allow ANY of my freedoms removed. For the first time i my life I feel I must fight for my Constitutionally given freedoms, but, in the process I’ll be fighting for yours too. It’s a shame you’ll never appreciate, understand this. See you all at the Tea Party!

I am back in town and looking for a Tea Party in Cincy/Dayton or the surrounds to attend on 9-12. Does anyone know where to find one? If not, I guess I’ll just wear the Tshirt and Tea Bag everywhere I go.
