It is April 15th -- Tea Party Tax Protest Day!

"Today is the last day for filing income tax returns -- a day that reminds us that taxpayers pay too much of their earnings to the Federal Government. ... While April 15 serves as a reminder, the people of the United States truly do not need to be reminded. They are victims of inflation, which pushes them into higher tax brackets. They are robbed daily of a better standard of living. They are discouraged from work and investment. ... The choice before us is clear. I strongly feel that the great majority of Americans believe that nothing would better encourage economic growth than leaving more money in the hands of the people who earn it. It's time to stop stripping bare the productive citizens of America and funneling their hard-earned income into the Federal bureaucracy." --Ronald Reagan

Today is the day that government demands its pound of flesh.

And today is the day you can do something about out of control government. Please attend your local Tax Day Tea Party. Stand up as our Founders stood up. Stand up and support what our Founders supported. The Founders all supported limited government, but it seems only Conservatives do today.

Support for limited government does not simply mean opposing unnecessary and unconstitutional spending. It also means that Conservatives support the rights of the individual and the several States against the encroachment upon their rights by the federal government. It also means keeping a check on the ability of the federal government to coerce individuals and the several States to behave in a way which is in contravention to their rights. Mostly, it means Conservatives must constantly remind themselves, and the federal government, that whatever power the federal government does enjoy, it enjoys by the consent of the people, which consent may be withdrawn at any time. Rights do not flow from the government down, instead, the power to infringe upon individual rights flows down from individuals and State governments to the federal government.

Today is a good day to remind the federal government of this truth!
