April 15th "Tax Day" Tea Party in Joplin

John Putman with the SW MO Conservative Network is organizing a...

Tax Day Tea Party
at 12:00PM
at the Joplin Justice Center
303 E 3rd St.

Bring your signs (keep them clean). There will be a small sound system and music.

The program may contain an open mic section for people. If you have a rant or a quote from our founding fathers that you want to share, please contact John Putnam (moboergoats@jscomm.net). Also, please email 1 grievance you have against Washington to Mr. Putnam. He is working on a scroll that will be read during the rally.

ARE YOU…

…tired of your government spending your tax dollars excessively?

…annoyed that many of our nation’s laws and budgets are filled with billions of dollars of pork and pet projects?

DO YOU…

…feel that your legislators have stopped listening to the voice of the people and make decisions for political favors and their own personal gain?

…disagree with your hard earned money being used to bail out banks and people who made bad decisions?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions and want to do something about it, please join

The Joplin Tea Party

Please visit their website or meetup group online:

Jopin Sign Rally makes local TV news

The Southwest Missouri Ron Paul Meetup Group (Formerly Joplin Ron Paul Meetup Group) held a sign waving rally in Joplin at the intersection of Rangeline and 7th street. The local news media was there and did positive stories on Ron Paul. When you do anything, be sure to get the local media involved. They have been really good to us here in Joplin. Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a70RI5M1_f0 and bump this post often: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/30287

We are planning a 3rd sign waving event next Saturday (2-2-2008 2pm to 4pm) and have again invited the local media. They have aired stories both weekends and we hope they do again. This next time, the Joplin Globe will be there as well. We invite Rocky Comfort and Springfield to come and join us and make this the MOST awesome showing of support. Please let me know if you can make it so we can tell the media how much the local support has grown. We had 45 people the first weekend (thank you Rocky Comfort) and 25-30 people this last weekend, with many new supporters. If we could get 100 people on this intersection, what a statement we would make!! Right before February 5th this is a good way to remind people of Ron Paul and gain those who are still undecided. With all of our canvassing, calling etc this one last time to get the RP name out I believe will really help. With MSM ignoring us the local news can be a great way to advertise free!

Thanks to Richard Graves for the Update & all the great work!
