ARTICLE SET STICKY UNTIL EVENT:
I am getting a lot of traffic from search engines regarding this event. I want to be sure that anyone that is searching for this can find it easily.
Welcome to all of you that searched for the Cincinnati Tea Party info and came to this site. Stick around, check out the articles, post some comments, and come back! This is one of a small handful of political blogs in our area.
I have been informed that the Cincinnati Tea Party is planned for Sunday, March 15, 3PM – 5PM at Fountain Square. Check out the official website for more details. Former Congressman Steve Chabot will be speaking.
Take the opportunity to be vocal. Being a member of the silent majority is not enough. We need to show our compassion, state our case, and make it clear that we are unhappy with the path the Government is taking.
If you are a reader from outside the area, check out the American Tea Party list and participate in your local tea party.

Be careful! Remember, dissent is only patriotic if you disagree with a Republican. You’ll not find the people who were spouting that rhetoric a couple of years ago to be overly sympathetic toward those questioning Herr Obama.
I have enjoyed your site and postings. Thanks for sharing about the American Tea Party site – I am out of your area, however, will check that site. Thanks.
As was recently pointed out in the Financial Times, the Boston Tea Party was not because taxes were RAISED it was because they were LOWERED which angered the pirates who would make less money so they dumped tea into the harbor to protest.
The English government was still in debt from the war it had fought against France and felt the colonies should help pay for it. England was also spending large sums of money for British soldiers stationed in the American Colonies. England raised taxes in America to try and get money to pay back its debt. Patriot leaders were against any internal tax they they did not consent to. John Adams was one of the staunchest leaders who fought against these taxes. He successfully argued against the stamp act a few years earlier. One of the taxes that England raised was on tea imported into the American Colonies. Tea was one of the most imported products in America and England hoped it could raise a lot of money this way. A few Americans were opposed to the tax and issued this as a protest.
