Trussville Tax Day Tea Party

We’re Doing It Again in 2010!

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:01:20 +0000

The politicians still don’t get it. The situation in Washington has gotten worse over the last year, and we’re going to stand up and say, “Enough is enough!”

On the anniversary of the first Trussville Tea Party, we will assemble on the Mall in downtown Trussville, Alabama, to raise our voices together. We will celebrate our unity and shared values, and we will send a message to our representatives that real change is coming. It’s the 2010 Trussville Tax Day Tea Party! Our demands are simple:

Return the role of the Federal government to the original design laid out in the U.S. Constitution

End the destruction of our personal Liberty through increased Federal regulation and taxation

Stop the insanity of unsustainable spending and entitlements that are destroying our economy and driving unemployment ever-higher

The 2010 Trussville Tea Party will be on April 15th, from 10am to 4pm on the mall in downtown Trussville. We will have a long list of speakers to help us better understand what is at stake and what it will require to get our community, our state, and our country back on the right track. There will also be entertainment, activities for the kids, and opportunities to plug-in to the community of patriots that have been fighting for this country over the last year.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

An event like this is a heavy burden. We are all volunteers, and we can’t do it alone. Last year many individuals and local businesses stepped up to provide food, services, and money to make the event the success that it was.

This year we expect a larger crowd. That means we’re going to need more volunteers and more resources in order to repeat that success.

If you would like to help out, email info@trussvilleteaparty.com, and let us know.

We are asking everyone who can to make a contribution of $20 to help us cover the cost of the insurance, sound equipment rental, staging, port-a-potties, and other essential items related to this event.

All contributions received will be applied to the event. Contributions are not tax deductible.

We’re revising our early figures due to some new information. Here are a few facts:

The Jefferson County police officers who were dealing with parking and traffic at the event estimated the turnout at 1500-2000. They said cars were coming and going constantly.
We had over 800 people sign up for the email list.
We used well over 1000 cups (the stamp system guaranteed that no one came through the line twice).
The physical headcount at 11AM was 700. The event did not peak until 12:30PM.

We asked you to come forward and let your voice be heard. You did it.

Attendance has been estimated to be easily over 1000, and the event went off without a hitch. Everything was perfect. You all were incredible.

The biggest testament to the greatness of the America I know is that once the stage was cleared out and the tables were broken down, there was NO TRASH to pick up. 1000 people stormed the mall, and they did it in a responsible and respectful way.

The representative from the Parks department in Trussville was stunned. He stated that he hadn’t seen an event that big that didn’t require hours of clean up by the city.
