What started as a small movement of a few hundred people has now become a national phenomenon. The movement began last month when Rick Santelli of CNBC ranted in his news segment about the anger of the American people stemmed from wasteful government spending, corporate bailouts and taxpayers having to rescue people who made bad mortgage decisions.
The movement has gained momentum with tea party protests in Cincinnati, Orlando and Washington DC. Thousands have turned out in protest to the wreckless spending on Capitol Hill and the socialist policies of the Obama administration.
Inviting conservative Americans to join in the Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party is none other than former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
The St. Paul event will be held at the statehouse, pending permit, from 6-8pm. Organizers of the event are encouraging a peaceful protest.

april 15th tea party---@ YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE----THE ONE OPEN LATE------MEDIA WILL BE THERE..... 4 PM TILL.......... THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.......
In the Minneapolis area, I would encourage anyone wanting to participate in a protest to attend the St. Paul event. The latest word is that there will be a First Aid booth, a food drive booth and activities for kids. There will also be a petition signing, though I'm not aware of what the petition is for as of yet. Once confirmed, I will write another article to elaborate.
If you are a small business person, be sure to pull all of your advertising from the big city newspapers. They are the reason Obama was elected and they hate these Tax Day Tea Parties. Stop giving them your money.
