Even before 1776, our colonial Forefathers began a mighty struggle to free themselves from oppressive taxation and crippling regulations. Indignation and determination to resist swept colonial America amid burdensome and unfair taxes and regulations imposed by the British Crown.
Our Founding Fathers, led by patriot Samuel Adams, established Committees of Correspondence throughout the colonies. The committees spread rapidly. Their purpose was to communicate swiftly political information from community to community. Then, colonists could gather and work together in many local communities, working simultaneously to fight high taxes and regulations. Riders on horseback, like many Paul Reveres, relayed news and instructions by riding for days and nights through hinterlands to distribute broadsheets, which local citizens posted on public bulletin boards in their communities.
With modern communications, we no longer need to saddle up. We can feed our fax machines, send emails, and use Facebook, Linked-In, and many other sites on the Internet to mobilize taxpayers angry at the high taxes and wasteful spending imposed and promoted by the Obama Administration and Congress.
It is 2009. The struggle begins again! Taxpayers all over Nebraska attended Taxpayer Tea Parties on April 15. We sent a clear message to the President and Congress: “Stop the Taxes! Stop the Spending and Bailouts!”
Make plans now to attend Tea Party II…..Millard Library, 132nd & Westwood Ln, Omaha…..Wed. May 20, 6:30 PM.
