Tax Day Tea Party

Join us and thousands others across the nation as we tell our government, "Enough is Enough!" Signs are welcome but will be monitored. We need to keep this movement classy and stick to our morals. No personal attacks; just stand for what's true.

This is from the organizers of the Tea Party, info, volunteer contact. Starts at 4:00
National Tax Day Tea Party
KC Tax Day Tea Party
April 15, 4PM, Liberty Memorial

Exciting News:
Chris Stigall and News Radio 710 have decided to be our official media sponsors. Chris will be announcing this on his show on Friday, and will be live at the Liberty Memorial for the Tea Party.
Also, I'm doing an interview on KFKF 94.1 on April 13th. If you hear about the tea party in the local news, let me know!
We still need:
1. Lots of volunteers. Can you be at the Memorial at 3PM on the 15th? If so, we have jobs for you. They're fun! If you'll be there early, email me at kctaxday@gmail.com. If you've already emailed me, you don't have to do it again.
2. Eyes and ears. Do you have a camcorder or camera? We need people to be in charge of taking pictures and doing informal interviews with people who attend the tea party. Is this you? Let me know at kctaxday@gmail.com.
3. Costumes. Do you happen to have colonial-era costumes (or perhaps children with such costumes)? We're building a float of the "Boston Harbor" and need people to help folks dispose of their tea in the "Boston Harbor". Sound like fun? You know the drill... kctaxday@gmail.com
Mark your calendars:
1. March 31st, 6-8PM-Phone bank/decorating committee. 9760 N Pomona Ave, KCMO.
2. April 11th, 2PM-Volunteer meeting. This is the final meeting before the event. If you're available and in the area, this is an important meeting to be at. You'll get your volunteer assignment and materials, and we'll have a run through of exactly what will happen the 15th. 9760 N Pomona Ave, KCMO.
3. April 13th, 8PM-FINAL CONFERENCE CALL. Everyone should probably be on this call. This is the very last time to go over details and ask any questions you may have about parking, what to bring, etc. If you're volunteering and can't make it to the meeting on the 11th, it's pretty imperative for you to be on this call. There won't be much time for briefing once you get to the Memorial, so you'll be glad you had this info. Dial this number: (712) 432-0600 and enter this access code: 714978#
I'll send out a reminder email about this one.

and finally,
Thanks to everyone for your hard work. We have exactly 15 days until our protest, and we're gaining momentum everyday. Don't stop writing letters to the editor, talking to your friends, and getting the word out to your communities.
We're working on getting t-shirts and bumper stickers for April 15th, so if you don't have your Tea Party merchandise yet, don't worry.
In case you need it, here's the motivational video of the day:
