North Florida Plans July 4 “TEA PARTY”

Perry, FL – Volunteers across Northern Florida are organizing a T.E.A (Taxed Enough Already) party to be held on the 4th of July at Forest Capital Park in Perry, Florida, on U.S. 19 from 10:30 a.m. until noon.

The T.E.A party is a national movement to protest the spending of trillions of dollars “which will leave future generations with a huge debt they must pay” according to one of the local organizers, Jan Hopkins. “It’s time to let the voice of the silent majority in this country be heard across the country.”

Another organizer, Bob Root, added “that uncontrolled spending and the trend towards bigger government are contrary to our Constitution and the intent of America’s founding fathers. As Americans, our elected leaders can do better than this.”

Nationwide, rallies are being promoted through grassroots organizers and volunteers, all to be held on Independence Day – July 4. The rallies are expected to occur across the nation. This one is being held for residents of Jefferson, Madison, Suwannee, Lafayette, Dixie, Levy, and Taylor Counties.

For more information from a national perspective, visit www.teapartyday.com . Locally, those interested in participating can visit the website of www.taylorteaparty.com or call the organizing committee at 850-584-4404, 850-584-4455, or 850-223-1266 X-0028. Volunteers are welcome to help organizing efforts by meeting at Hardee’s Restaurant in Perry each Monday at 9:00 a.m.

Local organizer, Charles Parker, summed up the effort best by stating “when it comes to actions by our Government – Silence is Consent – and it’s time to be heard.”
