As most of you already know, Tax Day Tea Parties are being held in hundreds of cities on April 15. Probably the best place to see whether a Tax Day Tea Party is planned for your city is http://taxdayteaparty.com/. The "Silent Majority No More!" graphic at the left is from taxdayteaparty.com. According to this website: "The Tax Day Tea Party is a national collaborative grassroots effort organized by Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter, the DontGo Movement and many other online groups/coalitions." The long-established American Family Association and the rapidly growing, brand-new Glenn Beck 9-12 Project are also actively promoting attendance at these events.

We are supportive of these Tea Parties to the extent that they are non-partisan gatherings of Americans to protest fiscally irresponsible, inflationary government spending on bailouts, takeovers, and stimulus packages in particular and to protest the lack of adherence to the Constitution by Congress and the Executive Branch in general. However, we do expect the messages of the speakers and organizers of these events to vary widely from city to city.

Nonetheless, you can bring along some non-partisan, pro-Constitution educational items to help your fellow attendees to understand how our nation's economic problems can be solved by creating enough grassroots pressure to force Congress to vote constitutionally.

Here are a few items we recommend:

• "A Crisis of Dollars and Sense," by Edwin Vieira, reprinted from The New American, January 5, 2009.
• "Dollars and $ense," speech by John F. McManus, 45-minute DVD.
• "Overview of America," narrated by John F. McManus, 29-minute DVD.
• "Join the JBS Community" business card (download file; printed version)

Have fun standing up for the Constitution along with hundreds of thousands of other Americans on April 15!
