NEWS RELEASE - April 1

LOCAL CITIZENS FORM TEA PARTY

The Tea Party protests, in their current form, began in early 2009 when Rick Santelli, the On Air Editor for CNBC, set out on a rant to expose the bankrupt liberal agenda of the White House Administration and Congress. Specifically, the flawed "Stimulus Bill" and pork filled budget.

A few days later, grassroots activists and average Joe Americans began organizing what would soon become the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party effort.

On February 27th, an estimated 30,000 Americans took to the street in 40+ cities across the country in the first nationwide "Tea Party" protest.

Organizers of the February 27th events pledged to continue on with an even bigger and better protest to follow the first. With April 15th being "Tax Day", it was decided to schedule the second round of Tea Party protests to ride alongside the tax deadline.

And with that, the "Tax Day Tea Party", the second round of the Nationwide Tea Party protests, moved into reality, this time with Southern Utah on board. Local individuals and groups have come together to form the American's for America Southern Utah Tea Party. This non-partisan event is open to all, young and old, who feel the government is moving in the wrong direction when it comes to raising taxes and exorbitant spending. The event, scheduled for 5:00 - 7:00 pm on April 15 will be held at the Worthen Park Gazebo (300 E 300 S) in St. George. Activities include patriotic music, speakers, resolution signing, a tea bag toss, and information on contacting the Whitehouse and Congress.
