The Great OC Honk Off! « Kicking Over My Traces

The Great OC Honk Off!

CNBC reporter Rick Santelli ignited a spontaneous protest on the trading floor in Chicago against President Obama’s proposal to bail out homeowners in default of their mortgage — by forcing everybody else to pony up the dough.

Grassroots organizers of the National Chicago Tea Party are mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it any more.

We’ve made Rick Santelli and the guys in Chicago standard-bearers for dunking free-spending politicans in hot water.

This Friday, we’ll hold the first Nationwide Chicago Tea Party.

We need your help.

Here is a to-do list:

Watch the Rick Santelli video that launched the revolution!
Read all about what’s brewing at www.officialchicagoteaparty.com
Spread news of the revolution by talking, phoning, texting, emailing — print the flyer (pdf) — give a copy to everyone.
Volunteer to help organize the Great OC Honk Off! Send email to cehwiedel@usa.net
Mail a key to the White House with a cover letter saying enough is enough! Address:

President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20500
At 9 am on Friday, February 27, 2009, honk your horn!

Do you find news here worth reading? Do you agree (or disagree) with my slant on that news? Buy me a cup of coffee! My recipe for a daily cup: 8 ounces of 2% milk, 2 shots of espresso, 4 shakes of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a topping of light whipped cream. Drop a tip in my jar — whatever amount you want, whatever amount you think I've earned.
