Have you seen tea parties in the news and wondered what they were?  You will have an opportunity to find out on June 28, 2010.  The Western Thumb TEA Party is meeting at the Rawson Memorial District Library, 6495 Pine St. Cass City, MI 48726.  The goal is to spread their message of shared values, free markets, fiscal responsibility, and limited government.   The meeting is 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.  Speakers will have information on cap and trade, immigration, and health care.  The meeting includes a question and answer period.  

Western Thumb TEA Party members are ordinary citizens with jobs and families who do this in their spare time because they love America and passionately believe in the values of the Founding Fathers and the United States Constitution.  Volunteers donate hundreds of hours building this movement to spread their message.  They believe freedom and our country are worth fighting for.  The Tea Party Movement protests started in Feb. 2009, in response to several Federal laws and policies containing pork barrel spending and earmarks.  The Boston Tea Party was a protest against British policies on imported tea.  On Dec 16, 1773, American colonists boarded three British ships in Boston Harbor and dumped the cargoes overboard. 

The Western Thumb TEA Party is committed to educating family, friends and neighbors.  Part of the TEA party experience is gaining enough information to make knowledgeable choices.  The doors open ant 6:00 p.m. and everyone is welcome.  For more information call 989-272-5416 or visit  www.tuscolatea.org or email tuscolatea@yahoo.com.
