As you may know, all across the country,
people are rallying together in support of the “Chicago Tea Party”. The name is in reference to Rick
Santelli’s comments on CNBC’s Squawk Box, from the floor of the Chicago Stock
Exchange. If you missed it, here
it is:
On
February 27th, we had a demonstration on the steps of the Michigan State
Capitol, organized by just a few bloggers and concerned citizens, protesting
the irresponsible bailouts enacted by our very own US Government.
People are
concerned and know these policies will not bolster our economy, but continue to
stifle it. Reports have it at 200-300 people huddling in
the cold to protest. This is not a
movement started by any Party, but by regular citizens getting the word
out. We here at MRP only have so
much say, but events like this show that YOU CAN get your neighborhoods
involved. This also shows
that people you wouldn’t normally think would be caught up in certain issues
can be motivated to speak up and spread the word. We need them in the fight for better government too.
Congratulations go out to everyone who was there. Together we can make a difference.
