Have an event planned for the state of Arizona? Email and let us know!
Also, be sure you join our Facebook group.
Keith,
Any news on a tea party in Tucson? I really want to participate.
Debby
@Debby, as I understand it someone was working on planning one for Tucsan but not on Tax Day. We’ll certainly let you know if we hear of one happening on April 15th.
Sounds like they are getting backlogged here with all the grassroots springing up. Here is a facebook group that is organizing Tucson in coordination with this group. Hopefully they will get a chance to post the info here soon.
Link (cut ‘n paste):

Yah, this is the group that Eric was talking about. It looks like they are talking about changing the date to the 15th.
Adam, as mentioned above, it was decided that this site will only list events happening on April 15th. We proudly support any and all tea party events, but will only be listing events happening on tax day.
Cool, Adam. Let us know if they change it.
Would love to participate on April 15 in Central Arizona. Has anyone any information regarding that location?
I’m organizing the one in Tucson, along with another group. I sent the info to Amy but it hasn’t been put up — probably because of the date issue. We have decided to do the protest on the 15th with a separate event either that weekend or next. If you guys could put up the info, that would be great!

Thanks a bunch!
Robert, that is great but I see the Tucson Tea Party time on April 15th is from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
May I suggest changing the time to 4 pm to 6 or even 7 pm?
The reason is that you will have a lot more people who can’t get off work on a Wednesday but will come after they get off. I speak from experience.
I think the time for Tucson is good. I will have to take a vacation day, but I will be there. I agree we need to plan for best turnout, but we also need to think about maximum exposure. 11-1 will be on the lunch break, with max traffic. At sometimes later, it will be almost dark outside with most having left the city. @ 11-1 it will also have time to hit the local news later that night.
4-6PM in Arizona on April 15th will still have daylight. It should be daylight till 7PM or later.
Another reason for afternoon is because people can often get off of work early.
Conservatives still work! Plan the Phoenix tea party later in the day.People can get off work and join.
Is anyone planning one in the Sierra Vista area. If not I will help get it up and going.
I will get in contact with the Phoenix / Tucson Coordinators regarding having the event later in the day.
Anyone else looking to have tea parties in locations that are not already listed above, please email me at ajetlag23@yahoo.com.
I hope there is a party in Phoenix…Tuscon is so far from the west valley.
Lisa,
There will be one in Phoenix. They are just working out the details of the location/time right now.
If there is anything I can do to help with the Phoenix Tea Party please e-mail me at Azej@aol.com. I am more than ready!!!
Anyone interested in the Phoenix Tea Party can find up to date information listed at the following locations:
http://www.americanpoliticalanalysis.com or http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=66128430756
We have picked the IRS building on Earl st as the location. We are just nailing down a time frame.
I am looking forward to this event. My suggestion is that we go somewhere we can actually dump tea into. Also, we should hold the tea party from about 6 until sometime after dark, so that those who have to work can attend without having to leave early.
To coordinate with Arizona Director for Americans for Prosperity, we are now moving the event to the AZ state capitol, and starting no earlier than 6 pm.
**UPDATED** Phoenix time added and location changed
***UPDATE*** Phoenix and Tucson locations and/or times changed. Please review!!
Both look good!
I heard about the tea party and I was wondering what excatly will be going on?
you can email me the info at rehohn@yahoo.com
Wow, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm let’s all bring a little extra water in Tucson!
Bordergranny…I live in Sierra Vista and would love to see a tea party happening here. Email me at azfunke@yahoo.com
Hi Arizonans. Roxanne here, one of the bloggers at Fresh Tea Daily, a group for all the April 15/Tax Day Tea Protests. If you’re not aware of the blog, please drop by.
I will take a day off if I have to, but would prefer to go later in the evening 4-6 is great.
Yuma is the third largest metro area. It is important that we stand and be counted to save our great nation from a irresponsible and repressive federal government. I call on all Yumans to participate in a Tea Party on 15 April 2009. Time and Place to be announced in the near future.
My latest column concerning the Tax Day Tea Party:
Tremendous Tax Day Tea Party - Protest Big Government In A Big Way
Glad to be participating in a group that wants to stand up for America and stop the insanity!!!! I hope to be at the Phx protest!
I live in the Yuma area and hope to see something organized here that I can participate in.
Just wondering if we should make the Phoenix party a bit earlier…like 3pm or 4pm. One of our goals for this is to bring attention to our elected officials that we are tired of all of this and meeting at 6pm when they’ve all gone home seems a bit of a waste. Thoughts?
Thanks to all the Arizona organizers! I will be attending the Tucson protest, look forward to getting the message out!
If we continue sending the same people to Washington, we will get the same results.
If you are ready for Real change, and not pocket change, please visit my website WilliamLee2014.ORG.
This will become a national election, and I need everyone’s help.
Contact your local television news stations and your local government representatives, if they can be trusted. Times DO matter, there will be daylight in AZ through 7 PM, easily. There are likely many more potential attendees after normal work hours………..
The problem with Tucson is that the downtown is DEAD after 5:00 pm. We are doing our best to keep it open for people to take long lunches, but to get noticed the protest has to be during business hours.
We are also hoping to get some of the local morning radio shows involved which would also necessitate the earlier start time.
I think it is a waste of time to have the Phoenix Tea Party at 6:00 pm when all the lawmakers are home having cocktails. A morning or ealy afternoon when be a better time to catch some of these people, maybe even the Governer.
I would definitely go to the tea part in my home state NY on April 15 but will be on vacation in Sedona. Will there be one there? thanks
I will be attending the Phoenix event. I have the whole day, so I will be there early.
Proboscis,
The times work out so you could attend in BOTH Tucson and Phoenix. If we shave the last hour in Tucson that would leave you an hour to protest in Casa Grande as well!
I have emailed this website to my entire address book consisting of individuals across the country. If everyone would do the same we can cover most of the responsible people in this country! Who needs the MSM??? DO IT NOW!!!
We have GOT to make this a possitive effort and get noticed and be able to say something through the media…TV needs to be there! If we just complain and do not get to the right pwoplw, we are shoutin gin the wind and no one will hear or get the ‘news’ to Washington. We must be large numbers and loud voices for America….suggestion: we dress in red,white and blue or other patriotic dress and carry flags!!!!!

My hubby and I will be visiting in Phoenix on 4/15 and since we can’t attend Annapolis’ Tax Day Tea Party we’re going to show up at yours!!! Damn the torpedos and full steam ahead!
Heads up!!
Oklahoma has already had a tea party this past February! You might want to check out their comments to help you in AZ organize your tea parties!! They are planning on two more tea parties–April 15th and July 4th!! They have a lot of helpful ideas for you to think about for your tea parties.
It doesn’t hurt to share all of our ideas to make all of the tea parties SUCCESSFUL!!
Looking at how the MSM has willfully ignored these protests so far, i.e. the large protest in Cincy, it it might make more sense to hold them directly in front of media outlets.
Email contact for Prescott bounces back as dead address
I’ll be at the Phoenix Tea Party!
Has anyone contacted JD Hayworth, KFYI, or any other of the conservative media in PHX? JD and the other great folks at KFYI were instrumental in organizing the mock protest in front of Dobson High. They did a fantastic job with this, can we get them on board for the Tea Party?
Great I will at the Tucson Tea Party with camcorder!
I live in Virginia but will be in Chandler 4-11 to 4-18. anything going on in Chandler or surrounding area. If not, I will make the Phoenix Tea Party. Just need to make sure of physical location and time.
Thanks.
Bill Whitt
april 15th tea party–@ YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE—THE ONE OPEN LATE—-MEDIA WILL BE THERE—WILL YOU ?…….3 PM TILL……. THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED……. EVER……
I would love to attend a tea party and get more involved, but will not join Facebook or MySpace. Is my only other option to just watch for info and show up?
Hey How about having it at UDALL park Sabino and Tanque Verde on April 18th for those of us of cant get downtown on April 15th?
SE Ariz, need contacts from our area, I’m in Douglas let’s get it going.
The government’s plan is not working. We can see that in each and every passing day. Americans need a fresh start to a new life. We need the same help to get OUR feet out of the quicksand that the government is giving to the companies that they choose to help try to get back on their feet.
Unfortunately, the government can give all of the bailouts to these companies that they want, and it still will not work unless WE the people have the financial means to continue to add surplus to the economy so that it can thrive. Without WE the people doing so, all the bailouts given to these companies will NOT matter. Once the “patch comes off the hole”, the water will come in again, and then what? The government continues to patch the holes but NEVER fixes the real problem.
Fix the boat! And that boat is the DEBT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
BAILOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
The government should be bailing out the American people by paying down proportionate shares of our debts. WE will then be indirectly bailing out the same companies that the government is directly bailing out right now by paying down our debts. They would still be getting their money. But they would be getting it the fair, just and honest way. The way that is a win-win for everyone. We would have less debt and they would still get paid. But if we continue to do it the government’s way, and bail them out, while leaving us out, WE are losing it all. WE have nothing to gain.
The American Bailout, The Plan for Americans Made by Americans, can work. If we all join hands to show our support and sign the petition to being The American Bailout Plan to our government, WE can help to open the door to OUR nations NEW future.

Our Support Is Greatly Appreciated

Looking for one in Douglas or Sierra Vista? email me : ellenchapa@yahoo.com
I will gladly stand with others in Tea Party Protest here in Sedona, Arizona.
Please advise if it is being organized!
SunniWelles@esedona.net
i see just the big cities for the parties is there one in yuma? sure would like to participate in one even help in planning one. really need to get involved before it’s too late!. feel free to contact me mikeymike1234@yahoo.com thank you!
Please advise if a tea party is to be scheduled in Sierra Vista. Thank you!
There is a tea party planned for Yuma. I read it in the Yuma Sun this morning. According to the article, is going to be between 4 and 8 at the East Wetlands Park just below the Ocean to Ocean Bridge.
This is pending, however, the permit has been filed with the city.
Is anyone organizing a Tea Party in Mesa?
There will be a Tea Party in Prescott. I’ve notified all in my addressbook and plan to be there with my husband. 6-8 PM. I’m also printing a copy of the notice to give to neighbors who don’t have email.
For the Phoenix Tea Party: Do we have somewhere to get details about the Tea Party, register to attend, and generally communicate that do not require us to join a ’social networking’ site or register private information on a person’s web site? No offense, I’m not joining FaceBook or registering at Keith Sipmann’s site (I don’t know him from Adam), but I share the values and beliefs that make this Tea Party so important.
I don’t know if there’s one in Mesa, but there will be one in Gilbert: April 15th noon to 1:00 pm in front of the Gilbert Administration Building (50 E. Civic Center). That’s on Gilbert Road just about half a mile south of Warner. Please come join us!
Looks like Yuma is showing signs of life:
http://www.yumasun.com/news/tea_48885___article.html/party_own.html
Has this organizer been in contact with the National Site?
BRING IT ON. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. THEY WILL ONLY RAISE EACH AND EVERY TAX ON US. INFLATION IS A HIDDEN TAX. WE NEED TO STAND UP ON THE 15th AND MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD. GET OFF THE COUCH AND GO PEOPLE. SPREAD THIS TO YOUR SPHERE.
I would think daytime would be best for these tea parties. Prescott at noon is a lot busier than 6 to 8 in the evening. What have other states had the most success with?
I’ll be at the Phoenix rally for sure. Might be able to do some interviews for RFC Radio too.
Is there going to be a tea party in the East Valley? I really want to attend but can not get all the way to Phoenix. Seems there would be a lot of other East Valley residents that would like to attend as well.
Great! I’ll be there.
How can I find out more about the tea party in Gilbert? How do we get it confirmed so it can be listed at the top of this site for East Valley residents to see?
We would like to come to The Tea Party. We live in Apache Junction so if there is one closer it would be better.
Organizing a Tea Party in Sierra Vista, AZ. No place or date established as yet but hoping to stage one on April 15. Email azfunke@yahoo.com or ellenchapa@yahoo.com if you would like to join us.
I don’t know, I’ve emailed the info but they must be backed up. Yes, it’s still on. We’ve also tried to list on these websites: ArizonaTeaParty.com and TeaPartyDay.com. Please come join us. I plan to attend the one in Gilbert at noon and then in Phx in the evening. I WANT MY VOICE HEARD!
Ah, I should’ve been more clear in my previous post (a few minutes ago). The GILBERT one is still on. We’ve contacted this website to post it, but maybe they’re backed up. PLEASE come join us and spread the word. It will be Wednesday, April 15 from Noon-1:00pm at the Gilbert Administration Bldg, 50 E. Civic Center. Take Gilbert Rd about half a mile south of Warner. You’ll turn east on a street called Civic Center. It will wrap around and you’ll look for the address 50. We’ll be gathered in the huge grassy area just north of the the Administration Bldg. If you’d like the email invitation, you can email me your address. Then you can forward it on to others and help spread the word. christine-k@cox.net

My wife, daughter and myself will be coming all the way from Yuma for the party in Phoenix. It’s important enough to us that we’re willing to drive three hours, spend the night and drive three hours back.
We’ll see you there.
Toronado,
I think there may be one in Yuma coming up. At least that is what this story says.
http://www.yumasun.com/news/tea_48885___article.html/party_own.html
I am also in Sierra Vista and also am looking for a protest in our town. Shall we organize ourselves????
Hey, Let’s just do it. Wednesday April 15th in front of the sierra vista public library 5-7PM. Contact local news and everyone you know. Try to get the word out. If we are going to participate, we better get going and we can’t afford not to participate.
I do not know the agenda, but we can get that going once we get the word started. thanks carol
Why are there tea parties in places like Mesa and Gilbert? Wouldn’t it be better if we all went to Phoenix and turned out a big number of people as opposed several events with smaller numbers. It seems to me that our voice will be heard louder if we are all together. That’s just me though.
Clint, that’s a good point. The Gilbert rally is from Noon - 1:00 for those in the East Valley who can come by on their lunch hour. For my part, I plan to attend the Gilbert one AND the Phx one. I have a few neighbors who are doing the same so we can carpool. I’ve had a couple people ask about a Mesa rally and haven’t found any info on it yet. I agree that we should support the Phx one too, because the point is to draw as many people as possible.
There was a time when folks had to rely on family and the church to educate thier children, to help out when someone lost a job, ect… we need to get government out of our lives and go back to the days you gave money to the church to help take care of the people in your community not the government. Down with socialism, down with welfare, down with public schools, food stamps, all that mess… it’s ruining our country.
The Church can demand that gays stop practicing thier disgusting lifestyle, that people get right with God before we help them.
Hi,
I live in Yuma too and, to my understanding, a tea party is being planned at the East Wetlands Park. You can read more about it here: http://freedomarizona.org/2009/03/27/local-tea-party-supporter-speaks-out-against-wasteful-spending/
We will be at the London Bridge on the 15th with hundreds of other protesters. We HOPE.
Now they are trying to stop our freedom of speech and Tea Parties. It is time to let our voices be heard and stop the government from continuing to give out the additional 7 trillion that it has allocated to give out to the agencies noted and to give that money to American families to absolve our debts. Which means it essential is given directly to the creditors on our behalf. We are not given that money to us as cash per say to use for other things.
By doing so, WE are paying off our debt, which is the reason why they are failing in the first place. Americans cannot afford to pay them due to the job loss and economic crisis that we are in. So they are getting help from the government from OUR money to try to stand. What good does that due if we ourselves cannot continue to bulster the economy by STILL having the same debt that they are being bailed out of and WE do not have the means to grow ourselves?
In a sense, they are trying to “double dip” us. They are getting the debt paid off from the government that we cannot afford to pay, however OUR debt still remains to them and we have to pay for that our of our own paychecks as well. They are getting paid TWICE for the same debt. The write off from our debt and our actual debt that still remains. If the same money that is already allocated was used to pay them, and OUR debt to them was then erased, we could then utilize the money that is still being paid to them from our pockets to begin to build back our lives, which in return, would also build onto theirs again.
It is a plan that has been mentioned on Glenn Beck long after The American Bailout was put together by Americans. If he thought of it as well and has questioned as to why no one has done it, then apparently, it must be something that people believe can work. Hopefully, the support from the American people will be bold enough to bring it into congress so that they too can ask themselves…why haven’t we done this……maybe it’s time we should.
WE Can Take Back OUR America!
Please Show Your Support…Please Sign The Petition

I live in Fort Mojave, (which is near Bullhead City) and would like to know whether there wil be a tea party here, or in Laughlin,NV, which is right across the river.
happy to here a tea party will be in Gilbert, I am going.
Bill I will be at the Lake Havasu Tea Party
I think the Veterans Memorial Park in Sierra Vista is a more appropriate location for the Tea Party Protest on April 15. This town is home of our nations intelligence operations base, and should be known for the intelligence of it’s citizens. Carol, Ellen, and others in SW Az. give your thoughts.
APRIL 15TH TEA PARTY—@ YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE—-THE ONE OPEN LATE—MEDIA WILL BE THERE—WILL YOU ?…….4 PM TILL……….. THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED…………..EVER……
Due to the MASSIVE response being generated by the internet, talk radio, and local organizations, the TUCSON TEA PARTY is changing the venue to accommodate the much larger crowd than was originally anticipated. We now have two radio stations who will be broadcasting on-location and live. If you don’t know what that means, it means this is getting huge
Below is the new information. Please note that the location and time have changed slightly:
TUCSON TAXPAYER TEA PARTY:
WHO: Tucson Taxpayer Tea Party
WHAT: Protest against trillions of dollars in government spending
WHERE: Downtown Tucson, in El Presidio Park at 115 North Church St.
WHEN: April 15, 2009. 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.+
I am working on organizing a tea party in Bullhead on the 15th. I’m waiting on the Police Dept. to call me back with the green light. I’m asking for either City Hall or (preferably) Community Park (right next to the highway). I could use some help. If you live nearby, email me at patrick.beck@marchforliberty.org and we’ll make this happen.
Calling all citizens from Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Needles, Laughlin, Golden Valley, Kingman and everywhere in between. Stand up and be counted!

We would love to hear what we can do in support of a tax day tea party in Yuma County, AZ, anywhere between Yuma and Dateland, to include Yuma, Yuma Foothills, Dome Valley, Wellton, Tacna, Roll and Dateland. We cannot organize it, but we want to attend and certainly do supporting work. Thank you! –Helen Dallman sohnnenstrahl@yahoo.com
Ah, never mind, sorry, didn’t read all the posts: I see the link for the Yuma Tea Party, and thanks Charlene!
No Tea Party in Sedona, but there will be one in Prescott, AZ. That is about 60 miles from Sedona. Go to Prescott and enjoy the beautiful historic town for a day.
PRESCOTT TAX DAY TEA PARTY
COURT HOUSE SQUARE
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2009
6:00 PM TO 8:00 PM
WE NEED TO HEAR YOUR VOICE!
CONTACT: PRESCOTTTEAPARTY@GMAIL.COM
How do I get the information posted about our Tea Party in Green Valley, AZ?
It will be 10am-12:30 at Esperanza and La Canada.
Randy–I was thinking that in front of Gabby Giffords Office would be a good place. I’m not sure that the City fathers will be willing to give a “permit” for the Veterans Park only because they didn’t give one to the Vietnam Wall, but they might. There is also in front of City Hall–lots of space there–and my suggestion to the town in Fla was to utilize the sidewalks from one end of town to the other. Start at the park and line Fry in either direction to the fort. Can you imagine driving on Fry to the PO and seeing hundreds lineing both sides of the street!! Awsome!! For me it would have to be early so that I can get to Phoenix at 5pm. I feel that the one in Phoenix is the one that will make the most impact on the national scene. Besides, the people on the eastern side of the US have had thousands. Since AZ is till the “wild west” and the leader in anti illegal immigration legislation I think we can show our “independence” and make it tens of thousands. Each of the AZ Tea Parties should also plan to have a contingent at the Capitol, with signs, as an indication of unification throughout the state. Please post what you’ve done or are willing to do. I’ll help.
anyone in pinetop interested in being heard
Heck, yes, if there’s an event here in Yuma, I want to knopw about it!
I live in Green Valley but did not know of an event planned here.
I am planning on attending the Tucson event on tax day..
I will try and come by your event priior to going to Tucson..
Please try to come and join us after the G.V. event, we need all the attendance we can get..
Keep fighting the good fight…
I think this is a really good idea. But I wonder how much good it will do, I will be at the Gilbert tea party & I m sending tea bags to B.O. ( 1 for each member if my family). I fear our beloved country my be gone. I pray I m wrong. But my family is getting ready for the worst. We started pulling cash out of the bank & buying gold. I am going to look for a place to learn how to use a gun. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would learn how to shoot a gun. God Help Us All.
I recommend not send actual tea bags. I don’t think they will get where you want them to go due to security reasons. Take a picture of the tea bags and send the picture. Still should get your point across.
I have not seen anything mentioned in the Sorry Vista paper regarding a Tea Party in Veterans Park. We need to get the word out so that people can attend. Not everyone has access to the internet. Let me know if you need help.
Why TAX DAY tea parties? I think a very relevant but mostly ignored point was made a couple of weeks ago. I think everyone can recall at least once in previous years, if not every year how the NEWS covers the rush to get our tax envelopes post marked before it is to late. The point was made that tax day tea parties should be held at these POST OFFICE locations, as the news will already be their, making it difficult for them to ignore. Unfortunately, most tea parties are not scheduled for post office locations; your tea party locations should be adjusted if possible.
It would also be helpful to unify the message and if this site has not produced the top ten wish list yet, then I suggest your signs read “The9/12Project.com” “Americas Wish List” Follow or Fail”.
Those who are worried about work should not attend anyway because your hearts not in it. You know we have men and women that have fought for our freedom and your going to complain about a single days pay,Please stand up and help fight this government that wants these same HEROS to pay for there medical, Just so they can force a national heath care we dont want. Come on wheres your pride, Please dont let it be on your sleeves. We must not let this government dictate our rights and walk on us like we have in the past.
P.S. Thanks to all that have served and still fighting for this great land, for our freedom. And God Bless You All.

Must see Google video- “The Obama Deception”
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7886780711843120756
A friend of mine said this is a must watch video; all 2 hours, if you want to learn all about what is happening to America. If you want to level the playing field; you need to know what this video has to say. You make your own decision; but you must watch it. If you don’t and it materializes, you gave up your future as you knew it yesterday.
Same issues, and worst; that Daniel Hannan MEP UK accused UK Prime Minister.
If it is true, US is in trouble.
Yumans don’t have to leave the area to participate in a tea party. We are having one on April 15th from 5-7PM at Gateway Park in Downtown Yuma. Check us out, http://coloradoriverteaparty.com.
Is a Tea Party being planned in the Globe/ Miami area?
I posted a banner ad with a link to your website at http://www.infrafracture.com
Aaron in Yuma,
Make sure you get hooked up with the teaparty main site here, that way they can list it at the top of the page.
Is there a tea party planned in the White Mountains? Pinetop, Show Low, Snowflake, Heber?
WE THE PEOPLE OF YUMA, ARIZONA NEED TO ORGANIZE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO GATHER ??????SO FAR I HAVE HEARD OF TWO PLACE……. EAST WETLANDS PARK AND GATEWAY PARK…WHICH IS IT GOING TO BE? WE WANT TO BE THERE, BUT HAVE TO HAVE THE RIGHT PARK….THANKS AMERICANS; SURE HOPE THIS WORKS FOR US. HOW FAR UNDER DO WE HAVE TO GET BEFORE WE CAN IMPEACH THIS PRESIDENT????? GOD BLESS US ALL!!!
Hello Grass Valley: If your party is on, we need an e-mail contact to include it on this and several other sites. If you can forward that to me, jonid@esedona.net, I can contact the webmasters and get it listed. Same goes for all the Tea Parties being planned. You need date, time, location, e-mail contact, then we can get it posted.
BTW, there are quite a few new ones that aren’t up yet, including Sedona, keep checking back.
Here are some ideas for banners and signs;
The Audacity of Unfair Taxation
Taxes: Nightmare of my Fathers
Impeach Now or Pay Later
Taxes High, We Want Them Low
BHO Has Got To Go
Geithner the Tax Chief (draw a line through “Chief” and scrawl next to it CHEAT)
Comments to make to the press:
“A recession has been used by these opportunists to enslave future generations to the government. We will jump to collectivism and socialism in one generation”
“Why didn’t they just give every taxpayer a check for something around $15,000 (or; “their equal share of all those trillions”)? Then, whether it was saved and helped the liquidity of the banks, or spent, those trillions in the hands of those who make up the economy, we the people, would have seen the recession entering history by now.”
“BHO is passionately fulfilling the hallucinogen addled visions of mid-twentieth century radical secular progressives. This is not what the country voted for, though we should have seen it coming vis a vis his past associations.”
“How does trashing the economy, with suffocating debt, for the foreseeable future help us cure economic woes?”
Dear MR. Obama You are just like every other politician . You said one thing to get elected & now you are doing something different. (I don’t even need to list them). Shame on you. I believe in hope and change. I hope your socialistic policies fail and their will be a big change coming. So I will ask politely, PLEASE STOP bailing out companies, Just let capitalism work. I also don’t want to hear you ever say again you inherited this mess, It is all your mess now and you are just making it worse. Stop spending money WE don’t have. Thank You From an American ( for as long as I can say that)
This is the letter I m putting in my w/ my tea bag.
Like Jollyjean, above, I have heard that it will be held at both Gateway Park and Wetlands Park. There are many of us who want to participate, but we need to know the exact location and what kind of parking facilities are available. Will more information be forthcoming?
Arizona Tea Parties:
WHO: Tucson Taxpayer Tea Party
WHAT: Protest against trillions of dollars in government spending
WHERE: Downtown Tucson, in El Presidio Park at 115 North Church St.
When: April 15, 2009. 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.+
WHO: Phoenix Taxpayer Tea Party
WHAT: We are protesting against the trillions of dollars in government spending, pork projects and bad economic policies of the Obama administration.
WHERE: AZ state capitol building. We have reserved the Senate Lawn from 5:00 to 7:45 on the evening of April 15.
WHEN: April 15, 2009 @ 5:00 pm
Do you think that fewer parties with larger turnouts will get more attention or many smaller parties across the state? On one hand, many parties allow more people overall to attend because they are closer to home, but won’t hte larger parties make a bigger statement? What do you think?
All I know is that the Tucson Tea party has a band.

I would like to organize a tea party in Casa Grande, AZ . the 15th is to short time wise. I need to find out more what I need, prepare etc to get a feel for the time needed and then can set a date. People are not happy here, but it seems nobody starts something here, or all are going into the big city.
Would love to hear ideas, suggestions, etc.
ARIZONA ! Silver City, NM is having a tea party - you’re ALL welcome to come to ours — it may be that we are a closer location for some of you! Our email for more info is: silverteaparty@hotmail.com We would LOVE to have you. If for some reason one can not be organized in your area, don’t stay home, come join us !!!
Good luck with your tea parties. Our leaders will have to listen now that we have finally joined together in great numbers. I am promoting a project that asks for everyone involved in this great movement to fly the flags of our forefathers from you porches, flagpoles and anywhere you can fly them. Click this site for more info: http://www.frontporchtalk.com/main/page_porch_patriots.html
AZcentral.com was calling the tea party in the valley GOP backed sponsored etc. They just don’t get it.
Get your Tea Party t-shirts and sweatshirts at
http://www.cafepress.com/partisantextile.
Wear your conservative battlegear with pride!
I’m thinking about putting individual city names on the fronts like the old Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts if there is interest. Email me with city suggestions.
I have to work on April 15 but will be free for a short while at lunch and again between 2 and 2:30 pm. If there is a tea party in Sierra Vista, that would be great!
I told Bordergranny that I am free for a Sierra Vista tea party for a short while at lunch and again between 2-2:30 p.m. I should have clarified that - I am free sometime after 2 for the rest of the afternoon. I would like to join one if one is organized.
I think we have to have a permit, Carol. The word is that those who don’t want these things to happen will try to deny permits based on insurance concerns. I would love to be there, and I will (Sierra Vista library). you also might want to check with ellenchapa@yahoo.com as well. A few people are thinking about doing this.
Shane, it’s not just about a day’s pay for some of us. It’s about responsibility. I only work two days a week, as a music teacher, and on that day, my children are going to be rehearsing for the second of three rehearsals for their program the folowing week. I would love to take a day off, but this leaves 50 kids without a much-needed rehearsal that has been scheduled for a year.
How late will the Tucson Tea Party run?
I live in Sierra Vista, and I’m also interested. Email is: ptrcscls@yahoo.com
Memorial For America - Light A Candle For America
On Memorial Day, May 25th, 2009; the world will remember and mourn the loss of the many veterans that have gone to war
to support our country, The United States of America.
We will pray for these fearless men and women who gave so selflessly of themselves to protect, honor and serve OUR country.
They fought for the land that we call America. They fought for the right to live in our free world. They fought so that WE would not have to fight. Sadly, the world that they fought so very hard for is slowly diminishing before our eyes.
WE, as Americans, CANNOT continue to allow this to happen to OUR country, to OUR economy, and to OUR future.
So on this Memorial Day (May 25, 2009) thousands of Americans will also be mourning the rapid decline of the great country
that we all once knew.
The “Memorial For America” will display both our sorrow and our faith for our country.
TOGETHER,WE CAN LIGHT THE WAY FOR OUR AMERICA TO COME HOME!
Please go to: http://www.MemorialForAmerica.com for more information on joining Americans for this event.
The Tucson Tea Party wraps up at 2:00 pm. Sorry about that freedomlover. For all intents and purposes, however, people will be there from 6:00 am, so we are doing our 8 hours, moving the closing time to 5:00 would have been WAY overkill.
We are in the process of organizing a 912 project chapter in Sierra Vista. Should be done early in the week. We plan to have a tea party on the 15th. Exact location depends on the permit we must get.
We now have a Cave Creek Tea Party planned for Sunday the 19th. Details here: http://cavecreekteaparty.com/
TEA PARTY ALERT
This came from a different site and is a heads-up for Tea Parties
If you are attending Tea Parties, please watch what you sign and who you give personal info to.
I just got an email alert.
ACORN groups are “gate crashing” Tea Parties pretending to be anti-Obama and asking people to sign petitions so they can get your names and addresses. Please do not sign anything at the Tea Parties unless you are sure where the petitions have come from and are legit.
This would be the paid disrupters and their tactics
In Sierra Vista, a permit would be required to use Memorial Park. City Hall or the Library would probably be a better location, considering the spending habits of “OUR OWN ” City Government. Decisions to spend our tax money seems to be an obsession of our sometimes elected officials. It is time we let them know we’re tired of their blowing the money we intrust to their safe keeping.
What a bunch of f*cking pathetic, whining, sore loser, Doom and Gloomers…
The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling… Obama’s the Anti-Christ… The Communists/Socialists are Taking Over, One World Order… One World Order.. Squawk, squawk, squawk…
Don’t worry, we’ll be be laughing continuously at your moronic, vitriolic diatribes of idiocy well into the 21st Century.
Moonbat,
You must be one of those freeloaders who voted for Obama because you like living off of everyone who is hard working.
You must be one of those valueless people with no principles because you like to swear and don’t come up with any useful ideas on how to fix anything.
You must be one of those who consider name calling a proper dialogue.
Maybe you should change your moniker to Dingbat.
LOL @ Moonbat.
Just the fact that you took time out of your day to type here means that this teaparty is gaining steam. Thanks for the encouragement!
Good job Adam.
Fellow Tea Party Goers,
I would like to point out that “MOONBAT” posted this same comment on EVERY STATE listed at this site. Do you think he was paid, asked, or otherwise coerced to do it? Doesn’t matter!
Here is my response, just in case you don’t check back to every State you posted at:
Dearest Moonbat,
Obviously you are not of the same opinion as others who are posting here. I would politely ask you to respect our right to free speech, our right to assemble in peaceful protest, and our frustration with our government. These rallies are NONPARTISAN and definitely not attacks on Bush, Obama, or any other elected official. There is no doom and gloom, the sky is falling, antichrist at these rallies (I’ve been there to know, have you?) – But that apparently makes no difference to you and nothing “we” say or do will change your mind. That being said, your vulgar attack, name calling and mockery will not deter our patriotic spirit and only emboldens us to band together every more tightly against the growing insanity we see around us.
May God bless American and all of her inhabitants – even you, Moonbat.
Is there any legal reason why the tea parties can’t accomadate all of the hours mentioned? Having a steady stream, with some leaving, and others arriving could make a really big showing for each area.
Linda
I was just checking out the websites and trying to learn more about the “Tea Parties”. When I came across this “moonbat” person made me want to learn more about what I can do to get our country back from the “Out of coutrol” Liberals
Obama wants to control more than the banks. FIrst the car manufacturers, second the banks, third the United States, and fourth the World!
HOW DOES HE PLAN TO DO THIS? By creating the largest financial mess this country has ever had. One too large to ever bail out. Therefore, making it possible for the government to step in and control our jobs, money, income, ect. Sound familiar………………….SOCIALISM!
The American people better open their eyes to the CHANGE ODUMBA has planned for the GREAT Nation we live in!
I HAVE NEVER PARTICIAPATED IN ANY TYPE OF PROTEST IN MY LIFE BUT I HAVE EVERY INTENTION TO PROTEST TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS, OUR FREEDOM, AND OUR MONEY.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.” (Psalm 33:12a)
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17
“At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” Jeremiah 18:7-10
God’s rule over governments is not limited to Israel. These passages teach that God blesses nations who serve Him as Lord, and judges nations that forget Him and do not serve Him. In the second Psalm, God visits judgments upon those nations whose leaders defy God’s rule. The books of the prophets warn of severe judgments for sin upon many nations besides Israel. In Deuteronomy 4:5-6, God tells Israel that surrounding Gentile nations will see the wisdom of their law. Israel’s law was to be a light to the Gentile nations, to call them from sin to God, from judgment to blessing.
“Which God?” the secularists rebut, as if casting aspersions upon the true God by bringing idols up to his level will abate our obligation to obey Him. There is only one God, and the Holy Bible is His revelation to mankind. It is to Him we owe supreme allegiance, both as individuals and as a nation.
“But we have a separation of church and state” the attorneys rebut. The separation of powers of the church and state is a Christian doctrine, for the truth is found in Scripture, in the relationship between the Jewish religion and the leaders of their state. However, it should never be a separation of God and state, for this is sin and rebellion to God. The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Congress, not Ohio. As a matter of fact, the states who signed the Constitution had tax-subsidized Christian denominations, and this was not a violation of the First Amendment as our founders intended it. Even the leaders of the federal government publicly prayed to the God of the Bible and spent taxpayer dollars for the printing and distribution of Bibles in public schools. This was not a violation of the First Amendment as our forefathers intended it. Even our Supreme Court, in 1892, citing a plethora of historical evidence, said, “This is a Christian nation.” This judicial decree did not defy the First Amendment as our forefathers intended it. The First Amendment was intended to prevent a tax-subsidized Christian denomination, such as England’s Anglican church. The First Amendment was not intended to prevent the free exercise of religion for the states and the people, as it is so often abused today, but rather, was designed to protect the free exercise of their religion.
The Holy Bible, God’s Word to man, speaks to all matters of life; not just pertaining to personal salvation, but also to economic health, family life, the right to self defense, the right to liberty and property, criminal justice, the role and limitation of civil authorities, the relationship between the church and the state, and when armed revolution against established civil authority is justified. Where God speaks, we would be wise to listen and obey, for disobedience to God’s Word in a single matter is rebellion to God and brings judgment. He is a jealous God who will not share His glory with another. When we despise His Word in deference to autonomous leaders who seek to kick God out of His throne and put themselves there in His stead, we have already received “the mark of the beast”, for the mark is a man’s name and a sign that you worship the image of a man over God (Revelation 13-16).
When put in light of the Scripture and the lordship of Christ, we see that the whole world is a theocracy, for God rules over all and His Word is not bound. It is also easy to see that our government has become a godless government at war with God. The United States must repent, and serve the Creator instead of rebel against Him. We must obey His Word. We must not defer to sinful men who seek to pass laws that defy God’s law, who refuse to be “ministers of God” and “a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” as God’s Word instructs civil authorities (Romans 13:3-4). It is not those who take the mark who survive the wrath of God, it is those who resist idols to serve the one true God and His Son Jesus Christ.
America, choose you this day whom you will serve.
Patrick Johnston
Does anyone know if there is a tea party in the White Mountains? Show Low or vicinity?
Perhaps as a signal April 15th we should encourage everyone to drive with their headlights on to signal they are part of the protest.
We live in Pueblo, CO and are SICK that we had to be out of town the day of the Tea Party here. We are going to be in Duncan, AZ that day…..I checked out the Arizona Tea Parties and was THRILLED to see one in Duncan!!!! We can’t wait to express how fed up we are with where this Administration is taking our beloved U.S.A. Can’t wait to stand up with our brothers and sisters in Arizona on this important day!!!!

We do realize of course that the Boston Tea Party was a revolt against taxation without representation under British colony rule yes? And this analogy applies here how? =)
Our representative government elected the other party. Responding with paranoid rhetoric and misplaced analogies will not propel the GOP or conservatives to any point of credibility any time soon.
Just think what could happen if the right would only channel their energy into something constructive, instead of always going against what is best for the country. America would actually be what she once was. Instead, they do nothing but try to manipulate things to benefit a select few, to the detriment of the rest of the nation.
G.A. Rowe Bullhead City has one at 6pm on Tax Day.
I saw a post to contact azfunke@yahoo.com or ellenchapa@yahoo.com about a tea party in Sierra Vista. I just emailed for more info myself.
I think you need a permit for Veteran’s Memorial Park. Don’t know how difficult they are to get.
The Tea party is a great idea but how about returning this country to God at the same time, after all that is where it went wrong. Let the Government know how you feel and your desire to put this county back on track while you can. 2 Chronicles 7: 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Please…
clearhead- We believe freedom is what is best for the vast majority of Americans. If only 10% of Mr Obama’s supporters now reget having voted for him, a majority of voters now oppose spending like this. Maybe we needed change, but not THIS change. Socialism values equality at the expense of accountability and freedom, and the wealthy will be replaced by a poltical elite who thinks they know best. I understand how they think… I used to be one of them. I had the courage to “question authority” and realised i was wrong then, and i can make amends for it by protesting now in favor of Freedom. If we are successful, everyone, including you, will benefit.
Is there a tea party in Flagstaff? What is the closest if not? thank you!
Hi Clef,
there will be three in Central AZ. Cottonwood is scheduled for noon. Prescott will be 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Sedons will be 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.. See the above schedule for more specifics.
Yeah. Been looking for other people up here. Is there a Tea Party happening ?
I want to attend the Phoenix Tea Party. I can’t walk far distances because of a heart problem, so, can anyone give me any good suggestions where to park? Or, is there a bus that will drop-off at the Capitol? If there’s a place to park and catch a bus that would be great. Thanks in advance if you can help!
Many will stand together … across our great nation … with one voice. We’ve had enough!

Let’s take our country back.
Hey Tea-Party-Goers!
If you are concerned about the crowds, traffic or parking at some of the big city demonstrations and you’d like to take a little drive north to enjoy some of the beautiful spring weather, consider attending one ore more of the protests in central AZ! We would certainly welcome more folks - especially in Obama Country (Sedona). Bring a car full! The more the merrier AND LOUDER!
Have you noticed the local media in Phoenix are a lot more concern about the upcoming demonstration lead by the Rev Al not so Sharp—ton against Sheriff Joe sometime next week.
It’s too bad we couldn’t have an on-line tea party to participate in. There are so many small towns throughout the state and I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t have a tea party nearby to attend. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to create one for our community yet still would like be a part of the movement to get back to our roots of Freedom. Is there any way someone knows of to allow ones voice to be heard in conjunction with this on-line on April 15th?
Joyce~
I don’t know about a tea party in the Show Low area but if you find one please post it as I’m in the area as well.
Anyone know of a tea party in the Show Low area. I would love to go!!.
Please let me know via email if you get it going! I would most definitely attend.
Thanks

Thanks,

Hey there! I know several people who are asking about where will the Tea Party in Sierra Vista be. I tell them I will let them know as soon as i find out. I know people from all over Cochise County will go, & I really hope we have one. I know there’s enough like-minded people, really everyone I have spoken with, all walks of life, everybody…
Sierra Vista Tea Party
April 15
Veteran’s Memorial Park on Fry Blvd
4-6pm
I just created a website for sharing Tea Party sign ideas.
http://www.teapartyslogans.com/
If you think that this is useful, add your favorite slogans and please spread the word!
Sierra Vista Tea Party at Veterans Park 4-6pm on the 15th
Gilbert one is close to me. Is everyone wearing a sidearm?
I will proudly march across the London Bridge with our Tea Party Group. It is sponsored by Mohave County Districk 3 GOP Lake Havasu City meets at 5:20 in the London Bridge parking lot.
“Clearhead”. Wow. Only liberals can protest? That is amazing. I thought we all had the freedom of speech! In fact I have a large number of friends who voted in the current admin and they are not happy either and will be there on tax day. Perhaps the analogy is due to what a a group of citizens did to change how they and their money were being treated by their government. While it is not a direct connection, the idea rings true. We need to get them to stop the wasteful spending and have to take the responsibility to demand it!!!
p.s. I am an Independent

“We do realize of course that the Boston Tea Party was a revolt against taxation without representation under British colony rule yes? And this analogy applies here how? =)…..
By Clearhead on Apr 7, 2009 | Reply”
I would like to urge everyone to go exempt on their W-2’s at work - if they have a job. The best revolt we can do to get attention in D.C. is to not pay taxes at all. You can always change it back after a month or so to avoid owing taxes at tax time next year.
Hey Clearhead, I was a life-long Dem until this mess went out of control. This is the result of corruption on both sides, like it or not. The Dems have controlled Congress for 2 years & it’s thanks to folks like Blow-hard Frank-in-Pork, Crook Dudd, & Peloser that things are now spiraling down. There’s plenty of blame on both sides, however, anyone who has taken junk funds for garbage projects, who has not done the jobs they were elected to do, namely oversight & the public trust. The Tea Party is the opportunity for people of reason from all walks to come together & say we’ve had enough. Just because one party won all the toys doesn’t make what they’re doing right - just like when this country was founded! Two of my direct ancestors fought in the Revolution, several branches came on the Mayflower & I’ll not have what they sacrificed for be flushed for ANY “good” cause.
Wake up, this isn’t about right or left, this is about right & wrong, being held accountable & responsible for one’s actions when done in the name of We the People. Our politicians need to live up to this, our media needs to be held to it & our children must be taught it.
I’ll be going to one, probably Phoenix’s, the bigger the turn out, the more
attention it will make for these moron’s running this country to take NOTICE!!!
Were you able to organize something in Sierra Vista? If so please let me know, I would love to participate.
The bailout solution is too simple.
There are 40 millions working Americans 50 years of age and older.
Give each of them 1 million dollars with the following stipulations.
1.0 They must retire, Results there are 40 million jobs open, unemployment problem solved.
2.0 They must buy a brand new American made car from one of the Big 4 automakers, results, the auto industry is bailed out and production speeds up.
3.0 They must buy a home or pay off their mortgages in full. Results, the financial entities are back in business with money to lend.
Total cost, 40 million Results, problems solved. Oh but where will Obama get his kickbacks from? Oh chit, another problem to be solved! Well I guess all the folks above could give him a buck.
I found a blog posting stating there would be a Tax Day Tea Party in Sierra Vista at Veteran’s Memorial Park (near the bandshell) from 4-6pm on April 15th. Here is the weblink http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/bstein80/tea-party-update
Try the math here! That’s forty TRILLION DOLLARS!!!
$40,000,000,000,000.00 1 million times 40 million.
THINK next time you get a bright idea and DO THE MATH!!
Even the Dems would balk at that one!!
For the first time I have hope after looking at the comments on this site. It is way past time that all of us caring citizens make our wishes known to the pols no matter which party. Let us all take America back and make her great again and to hell with the left wing socialists trying to take over our country.
Sounds like a good idea. The only problem is that the only people that are pissed (work) and generally don’t get out until 5pm
Anyone interested in volunteering for the Sierra Vista Tax Day Tea Party please email svteaparty415@yahoo.com. We need people to help with basic assistance and paper work, collecting “tea bags tags” etc. casual security and minor “beautificiation”, and various other organizational duties. This is going to be a real “party”. Bring your signs, wear Red White and Blue–1773 costumes appreciated. Spread the word.
I would love to join a tea party in Sierra Vista! is one being planned? we need to get together!
Friday, 4/10/09. I understand that this page is only for events happening on Wednesday, 4/15/09, but I heard that there is going to be a Tea Party event in Cave Creek on Saturday, 4/18/09 for people that have a heavy work schedule during the week. Does anyone have any info on that one? If you do, could you please post it here? Thanks!
I will be at the one in Phoenix. I am glad it is in the evening because I have a job. I am looking forward to a peaceful display of frustration on what our government is doing to the free market and capitalist system we were built on!
I am so impressed with the true American Citizens of Arizona as well
as across this country.
I feel all politicians, at all levels, who have been voted/appointed in to
position, should either step up and fight (being visible and vocal) for what is right,
or step down, if they cannot muster up and do their job…..representing the
people.
Did anyone ever find a Tea Party in Casa Grande? Would love to go, but can’t drive far.
Good idea about taking it to the front door of the media.
Roxanne Kramer here. I’m the blogger on the main Tax Day Tea Party. I’m also the main moderator of comments.
Effective immediately, because of the potential for confusion, I am no longer accepting comments on state pages about any changes in dates, times or locations of events, or about newly scheduled events.
The only way you can get an event listed or changed on this state’s page is by emailing your information to our national locations volunteer, Amy, at:

Thank you for all your hard work and have a great time on the 15th.
Why is the Tucson Tea Party from 9:00am-1:00pm instead of afternoon evening? My wife wanted to come but she would have to cancel 15 patients to attend. The time slot will reduce your attendance.
Gort,
The Tucson Party has been extended to 2, but in order to get maximum exposure downtown, it had to be in the morning. Additionally there are two morning radio shows broadcasting live from the event.
The next event will be held at a date or time more conducive to those unable to attend for work reasons. Some people are getting the day off, asking them to do that twice is stretching it.
It’s better to understand a little, than to misunderstand a lot. The President, Congress and all Liberals along with All Americans should read that everyday. It’s time for Representation with Responsibility. if you can’t stand by your words, You should not be representing me or anybody else. You work for US not yourselves.Stop the mindless spending, give us a flat tax, and get out of our lives. This is America Not a Socialist State
Southeastern Arizona - Just a reminder — if you don’t have an AZ tea party near you, Silver City, New Mexico is have a Tea Party from 12-7 p.m. on the 15th. You’re welcome to join us !
Yes Kingman is having a tea party April 15, 12:00 noon to ? Locomotive Park in old down town. Can’t miss the park. It’s right when you drive into town on old Beale St. We went to one there on the 1st & this time we are going to the one in Lake Havasu. Hope you have fun & enjoy standing up for your God given right to assemble!
Imagine an anti-Government protest were the citizens smell like soap and not body odor!
Imagine an anti-Government protest without economic envy, hatred of the bourgeoisie, and class warfare!
Imagine an anti-Government protest with intelligent thoughtful citizens who LOVE America more than their leaders!
Imagine an anti-Government protest where the citizens use less illegal drugs than the president!
Imagine an anti-Government protest where the citizens are fighting to support the Constitution and not over throw it! Imagine an anti-Government protest where the citizens are fighting for self-responsibility and not welfare!
Imagine an anti-Government protest where the citizens are agitating to uphold the laws (even immigration laws) and not undermine the laws.
Imagine an anti-Government protest without pathetic victims, but strong self-assured individuals.
Imagine an anti-Government protest in support of our national values of life, liberty and love instead of progressive revolution.
Imagine an anti-Government protest without anarchists, atheists and Earth worshiping Marxists!
Imagine an anti-Government protest where Country, Constitution and God loving participants support the rule of law, support the police, and support our military.
STOP OBAMA!
Going to the Yuma one. I’m a conservative blogger.
Is there any Tea Parties in the Northern Arizona area???
Is it too late to have one in Show Low??? Im in Apache Co and would love to find one closer to home.
Consult the Arizona listing, available on the Tea Party front page, for all Arizona event details.
There are no nearby Tea Parties for me (Nogales) (also have an appointment I cannot reschedual for near the time which makes travel impossible). What can I do to show support? I thought I heard something about honking horns at a specific time but cannot find anything. Thank you.
The List of AZ Tea Parties is NOT complete: It doesn’t include ours in Sierra Vista although I have tried for the last week to get it added. Here is the Information:
Sierra Vista AZ 4-6 pm
Veterans Park
Sign Brigade on Fry Blvd
Bring your signs, your tea bag tags (there will be a big red box to drop them in)Wear Red White and Blue
Sign our Petition of Grievances
Honk your support if you can’t stop!!
rsvp/questions svteaparty415@yahoo.com
It is a shame that mesa does’nt have a teaparty, pronbably because the crooks in the mayors office and the council have raised the taxes and utility rates several times to cover their stupid wast of our money.
Steve, it surprised me, too, that Mesa isn’t having one. Come to the Gilbert one, just down the road! It’s being held during the lunch hour. And if you can, head on down to the Phoenix one in the evening. Check out ArizonaTeaParty.com for a printable invitation and directions to the Gilbert rally.
We can make a different! We cannot stop here, we must continue with the American Tea Party on July 4th there will be another protest or march. Enough is Enough. We the People have spoken and will take control. We put you in office and we can take you out. Power to the People!
Granny, I’d like to attend a S.V. tea party - any curent information on where, when?
I will be there. I am bringing tobacco though. unfair taxation is what its about as far as I know they are not taxing the hell out of tea just beer and cigs. Even if you don’t smoke you can see how he is not raising taxes(income) on the middle class. 70-75 percent of smokers and beer drinkers are low to middle class here is where he is gonna get us. And whats this about soda. Try taxing video games to get the lazy generation off their butts and outside.
We the People! Enough is Enough! Taxed to Death!
To all Americans we cannot stop here, July 4th will be another Tea Party. We will continue until they hear “We the People”. We had a enough of high taxes, read before you sign anything. Say “NO TO SOCIALISM”. because that’s where we are headed, next communism.
The cost would be 40 trillion, please learn how to do math before making these rediculous comments. This is a serious website!
Lab Lady; Go up 4 comments and for the info for the SV TEA Party Wed 4/15 at Veterans Park.
I have been reading blogs and comments on many of the tea party sites….some have great Ideas…..wear RED WHITE AND BLUE…..Go to more than one…I am going to go to the one in Gilbert on my lunch hour and then down to the one in Phoenix after work….and out to the one in Cave Creek on Saturday
One man had a great suggestion……most of us have already mailed our returns…but he said mail a blank one in with zeros on it…..and just say “you can’t spend what I don’t send” the IRS will go nuts with that one….they have to open them and process them. I must say for the first time in my life I am scared…..the Government is out of control…this president and Congress could have us in a full depression before we ever get the chance to vote them out of Office or retire the incumbents from office in less than a year and a half….I love this Country with my whole heart and soul……I pray we can make a difference…….WE THE PEOPLE……ONE NATION UNDER GOD…I WANT AMERICA BACK…LETS JOIN TOGETHER AND MAKE A STAND!!!!!
Are your Tea Party’s on this site’s map?

Check out the DHS report about us disguntled Military Vets at MichelleMalkins.com website.

The Revolution is Brewing!

Jeanne: Scroll UP all the information on tomorrows T-Party is there.
Jeanne: yes there will be a T-Party in Sierra Vista. Scroll up for info.
I really wanted to attend but unfortunately I am scheduled to work tomorrow night and won’t be able to get off.
I am, however, sending in my teabags to both Mr. Obama and to Jan Brewer, who has been a total disappointment ever since becoming Governor. Instead of cutting off assistance to ILLEGALS (and don’t tell me its a Federal matter), or freezing the pay of elected officials - especially of the Goddards, Rios, and Sinemas in our midst, she chooses to punish us, the citizens. She needs that kind of message.
If there is anything else I could do besides sending in the tea bags, do let me know.
For America,
Alan
hello my fellow americans, don’t you feel like we’ve been set up? How can someone become President when he’s only been in big politics for a short time? Then has radical associates but nobody listens or cares. wake up america we’re being served on a platter. Have you ever seen this kind of BS in your life? Heck no, what happened to our pride? and our patriotism? Lets get our country back!
That’s neat to see the interest in Show Low. We figured nothing was happening in that area so we plan to attend the one in Tucson (near our daughter’s home). I wish all our White Mountain friends well tomorrow. Plan one for July 4, and we’ll make plans to attend.
SIERRA VISTA COME ON!!!!!!!! VETERANS PARK?????LIBRARY????? 5-7pm
Sierra Vista is having one. Veteran’s Memorial Park, 4-6 pm. More details in the Herald.
This is for bordergranny in Sierra Vista. If there is an event in Sierra Vista please email me tomorrow am (that’s the 15th). Jollykilter@ aol
This is not a protest against Democrats, it’s against Government over stepping their authority, and we are fed up. Republicans and Democrats, you are all the same, you let us down. We want less government, less spending and lower taxes. Visit http://www.backamerica.net
Tea-Party Attendees,
If you’re heading for any of the tea parties in central and northern AZ today be sure to dress warmly and in layers. We’re experiencing wind and rain showers this a.m. and the forecast is for more of the same throught the day. Gloves are also a good idea. But, don’t let the weather stop you! See you in Cottonwood and Sedona!
My wife is going to a tea party today in Sierra Vista. So if that is closer that Tuscon for some of you it is at Veterans memorial park.
BULL HEAD CITY TEA PARTY AT COMMUNITY PARK ACROSS THE RIVER FROM HARRAH’S 6:00 TO 7:00 PM !!!
Why isn’t the Sierra Vista Tea Party listed with the rest of them? People here are talking about it at the diners this morning.
We had submitted information to the site and all the emails many times but Sierra Vista has been ignored completely. I have posted information here many times anyway:
TODAY 4-6pm
Veterans Park Band Shell AND
Sign Brigade on Fry Blvd from Park entrance to the Post office
Please come. Bring your signs, your tea bags and wear red white and blue and let’s have a PARRRRTTTYYYYYY!!!!
svteaparty415@yahoo.com
THIS GUY WENT TO EACH STATE TO POST HIS LITTLE LIBERAL TROLL RANT
To Moonbat,
You are showing your true colors …….and they are not Red, White, and Blue. This not about Right and Left, or Black and White you moron….it is about Right and Wrong. Read the Constitution of the United States…….the part about the “authority of the federal government shall not exceed that of any individual state. Ignorance is no excuse for Socialism.
Get a life you liberal socialist troll.
Bluesriff - Fairbanks, Alaska
JUST GOT BACK FROM THE GILBERT TEA PARTY….ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE SH9OWED UP….GREAT GREAT GREAT LET FREEDOM RING………WE THE PEOPLE …….WATCH FOX NEWS….THEY WERE THE ONLY CHANNEL THERE
Well, after filing my 2008 tax returns, let’s just say I’m properly motivated to attend. I notice there’s a TEA Party in Prescott at 6PM. I plan to be there. Is there anything I need to bring?
OK, thanks for the heads-up. It looks like ACORN will stop at nothing.
ALL THOSE ATTENDING THE SIERRA VISTA TEA PARTY
I just returned from one & it was confirmed by ATF this morning that there will be undercover folks there taking pix of attendees, attempting to get names. Also there will be those attending whose purpose is NOT to support the USA but to incite violence to make the movement look bad.
I was just checking to make sure that Prescott was going to have a tea party - glad to see there will be one! We will be sure to get there ASAP! I have to mail my taxes first. Does anyone know if someone is making signs?
Has anyone heard of anyone trying to make trouble anywhere yet? I have heard and read so many disgusting reports from the mainstream media today, that I wanted to make sure to be prepared. Of course, since this is Arizona, I know that the usual ACORN whackos and others with agendas won’t try to make trouble since they don’t know who they’re messing with!
I just came back from the Tea Parties in Cottonwood and Sedona. Windy and cold but a great turnout at both places! Only two lonely catcalls from passing cars in over two hours at Cottonwood. One lone woman tried to make trouble but the Cottonwood police kept her from getting anywhere near the demonstrators. We received many, many honks of support from passing motorists.
The Sedona Tea Party was a little smaller but again, we received a lot of support from passing cars - even one police vehicle. Only one cat-call. Not bad for a town full of liberals! Everyone at both events was vocal but well-behaved. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL!
Update on the Tucson Tea Party.
Police Estimated- 4000
Actual contact info of attendees recorded- 2200
number of hours it took to sell 250 t-shirts- 1
Media present- 3 radio stations, 2 TV stations, and at least 1 newspaper
Pretty good day in Tucson.
I was leaving Tombstone, having run an errand after stopping at the Tea Party, I found it odd that there was a bus for the Tucson Unified School District parked next to the park with the orange jumpsuit guys picking up trash. MANY unmarked black trucks, very new, with flashing red/yellow lights like police. Not certain what that was about but very disturbing after some of what I heard from some of the folks in town.
God Bless and help these good Americans , and this movement to succeed !!! I feel so Proud of all of these fine Americans !! No More Pork , No more Stimulis , Fair Taxes , Let the law makers read the Bills !! Take the Crooks out of Government !! Less Government !! Abide by every word of the Constitution !! God Bless America !!!
It is so great that the people are coming together! It is way past time though! We keep voting in those ignorant politicians, and they keep on doing the same thing year after year. Stealing money from the people and lining their own pockets! I wanted to join in the Tea Party anywhere today, but I am still recuperating from some major surgery, but I will put forth my support however I can!! Another thing to rise up against, not only about the tax increases the government keeps putting on us, to account for their overspending, but the amount of money you get when your on disability or sickness benefits! With the daily strap around us while earning a regular paycheck, you should try and live off the medical sickness benefits!! I make a decent wages for today’s economy, and I pay into a retirement fund and more goes into a medcal fund. I am only allowed $61.00 a day from the money I paid into to supplement my wages while on sick leave. Then the stupid government still taxes that while I am out of work!! Approximately $500.00 every 2 weeks!! How in the world is anyone able to live on that kind of income? Yes, I know there are people out there doing it, but I sure don’t know HOW they do it!! The government needs to stop stealing from the people and stop supplying the Big CEO’s and Banks, who created this mess, the stimulus money!! Wake up People! Time to make a stand!!
i HEARD THAT CAVE CREEK IS HAVING ONE ON SAT. APRIL 18TH FOR THOSE WHO HAD TO WORK…..IT IS NOT POSTED ARE THEY HAVING ONE? because if they are I will go to it……Our ex-governor Janet Napolitano is saying that this is not a grass roots movement, but is being paid for by the republican GOP….I say NO……all the people I saw are average Americans that are fed up…….this is real…..No body could have planned an event like this…….the people are just sick and tired of OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT….THEY GIVE BILLIONS TO WRONG DOERS….and give us $13.00….already the states are raising taxes on fuel, sales tax, cigarettes, beer etc…I have lost double the $13.00 Barack gave me just in increased taxes in this state. …Janet says we are RIGHT WING RADICALS…..by the way how did she get appointed to HOMELAND SECURITY….she could not even keep Arizona borders safe when she was governor??????I am heartsick at the bias media….saying a few hundred disgruntled people showed up……I saw thousands…….San Antonio had 16,000 and Texas had 56 tea parties……Arizona had great turnouts From Tucson to Sedona and way beyond ……..people across this Nation came out in wind, rain, cold just to say NO……how can the media down play this Event???? We need to write our representatives and the white House and keep this thing alive….How about another rally on Memorial Day…..the 4th of July….all night Vigils….I am worried we will never make it to the next election to Vote out our non-representative officials…..they could bankrupt this country before we can stop them…….I hope this GROWS and GROWS….
Green Valley……. Senior Citizen Community 20 miles south of Tucson.
Produced a rough head-count of 250-300 Tea Baggers at the intersection of Esperanza and La Canada on tax day….. great success! With comers/goers the count may have reached 400-500.
I tell you, if our leaders did not get the message, they never will.
I set up this blog with over 50 photos. Please feel free to forward on. In fact, please do!
I was very happy to see the large turnout for the Phoenix Tea Party. Hopefully we can raise funds to make improvements for future gatherings. We need a better sound system so speakers can be heard by the entire crowd. It would also be nice if we had some music between speakers. Music helps people feel connected …. the crowd pretty much stuck to themselves … not a lot of interaction. Also…I’d like to see the message be not just an opposition to higher taxes but WHY we oppose them. The opposition is to WASTING the money we send to DC!
Sierra Vista’s Tea Party was GREAT!!! There was about 300-350 who attended a very Windy/gusty day. Good speakers and stalward sign brigade at the entrance on Fry. Thousands of supporting honks as people drove down Fry Blvd. Only 2 shouts for pro-Obama and a couple of middle fingers but no problems at all–just a bunch of peaceful patriots united to become a voice against socialism. Thanks to everyone who participated!!!
Hey Scott,
What’s the URL for your blog? I have some pics from Cottonwood and Sedona.
We are being dismissed as “right wing radicals” and it is said that the president was not aware of what was taking place…..????? How can that be? Over 2000 cities and hundreds of thousands of people…I say we can not let it die here. Do you remember 911…..Patriots all over this country flew there flags…got bumper stickers….even flags on their cars …as a show of support for our nation…why can’t this grass roots movement do the same? Put a flag up in your front yard…flag on your car or a bumper sticker…show unity..honk at each other when you see a fellow american doing the same….Let’s show them we are real American Patriots…….I heard a wonderful qoute today……”When Americans fear their government it is called tyranny….but when a government fears its constiuency it is called LIBERTY!!!!!
Obama not “being aware” of the tea party movement is really very much like a child sticking their fingers in their ears, and going “La-la-la” so they don’t have to listen to something they don’t want to hear. Quite similar, really, to his promises to bring “hope”, and their likeness to the kid running for class president who promises free icecream every Friday, if elected. We have a kid running our country!
If a short report and photos or a video about your event are not mentioned here or here or here, and you have a report or photos, send ‘em on in because I have another dozen reports in hand and I’m going to do another round-up later today.
Either leave a note in the comments or send me an email: roxannekramer@gmail.com
Here are a couple of favorable commentaries on the Tea Parties:

http://www.bornagainamerican.org
Just got back from the “Cave Creek Tea Party” and it was great.!!!! I have gone to 3 of them now …Gilbert, Phoenix and Cave Creek…..It is great to see how many people want to save America………it is not About Democrat or Republican…..it is much Bigger than that …Our country is in Trouble….the direction this administration is taking it has put Fear in my heart for the first time…..I have been reading everything I can get my hands on…and I believe that the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg group have been pushing us in this direction for years…since Jimmy Carter….Bush was going about 30 MPH to bring us to the brink of Destruction….But Barack Obama is going about 120 MPH to Bankrupt this Country and Bring in the NEW WORLD ORDER…..The whole world is in Financial trouble….what timing….I hope we are not to late to put Pressure to Bear on them….and Save this Country that I love…I agree we can vote out any incumbent…but it may be to late…if they pass his 3.4 trillion dollar Budget we are sunk……I wrote to the white House and my representatives when I got home….Hope all of you did the same….SEE YOU ALL AGAIN ON THE 4TH OF JULY FOR THE LIBERTY PARTY…GOD BLESS
We missed a great opportunity to get voter registration going for all new participants in our Tea Party. Why don’t we get tables set up, and forms available for those participating in these events. They can select when and where they would like to join a political party.
jIM….I AM SURE THAT EACH PARTICIPANT AT THESE “TEA PARTIES” ARE REGISTERED VOTERS….WHAT IS YOUR POINT…ASFFILIATION DOES NOT MATTER…….WE ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY…AMEN
AN HISTORIC MOMENT . . . On April 15, 2009, For the first time in our nation’s history, there were more patriots gathered in front of the Sedona, AZ mayor’s office than there were in the White House!
