ARIZONA, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, MAINE, MINNESOTA, OHIO, AND TEXAS JOIN FORCES TO FIGHT CAP AND TRADE MEASURE

Tea Parties From Across America File an Important Release

United States of America, June 8 2009.  Tea Parties from Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas will work with their constituents to urge our Senators to vote against the “Cap and Trade” bill that was approved by the House of Representatives on Friday.  These states represent over 20% of the reported US population.  We will mobilize our national efforts to apply significant pressure to our representatives to support their States and their Constituents as they were elected to do.  The Senate vote is expected on July 7.

The House of Representatives violated their own rules by voting on a bill they did not read, by disallowing amendments, by failing to have a printed copy available for voting members, and by bribing their membership to vote against their better judgment and against the wishes of the American public.  The Congressional phone lines were overwhelmed on Friday, according to CNN, as a result of the volume of calls.  “Ohio representatives report that constituents were against the bill by a measure of 20 to 1 yet some representatives, such as Ohio’s Steve Driehaus (D-01), voted with the party instead of the people.  In short, they failed their oath to defend, protect, and represent their State.  This is not the way our Founding Fathers intended it.” said Harald Zieger of the Cincinnati Tea Party

The Cincinnati, Orlando, and Greater Houston tea parties will organize its own supporters and reach out to tea parties around the country to organize efforts to call local representatives and all undecided Senators nationally.  “Our goal is to exceed 10,000 calls, says Felicia Cravens of the Greater Houston Tea Party Society, but I believe our now small grassroots effort will grow exponentially over the next few weeks.  We expect to meet and exceed our national target.”  “We can and will make our voices heard.  Friday’s slim margin in the House [219 to 212] is evidence of that as is the two-plus million people at Tea Parties across this nation” echoed Suki Carder of the Orlando Tea Party.
