Michael Johns to Address Tax Day Tea Party Rallies in Boston, New York and Philadelphia

Republican strategist and conservative writer Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, will speak this week at Tax Day Tea Party rallies in Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia as part of a large and burgeoning movement of Americans calling for a new direction in American public policy.

A national grassroots movement rooted in support for tax and regulatory relief and opposed to income redistribution and most federal governmental subsidies and bailouts, the Tea Party movement has blossomed significantly in recent weeks. Based on many of the same principles that sparked the original Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, some 2,000 Tea Party events will be held this week in cities across the United States. Michael Johns, one of several national leaders of the Tea Party movement, will speak at three of the largest Tea Party events:

**On Wednesday April 15, 2009, at approximately 11am ET, Michael Johns will address the Tax Day Tea Party rally in Boston, Massachusetts at the Boston Common at the Massachusetts State House, located at 24 Beacon Street in Boston. The event will be emceed by radio talk show host Todd Feinburg of Boston's WRKO Radio. For further information on the Boston Tax Day Tea Party, see the event's official site at: Boston Tax Day Tea Party.

**Later on Wednesday April 15, 2009, at approximately 7pm ET, Michael Johns will address the Tax Day Tea Party rally in New York City at City Hall Park, located at 249 Broadway in Lower Manhattan. Joining Johns in addressing the New York City Tax Day Tea Party will be Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Johns also will participate in the New York City Tax Day Tea Party after-party, to be held from 10pm to 1am ET at The XChange at 640 West 28th Street, Ninth Floor (between 11th and 12th Avenues) in Manhattan. For further information on the New York City Tax Day Tea Party, see the event's official site at: New York City Tax Day Tea Party.

**Finally, later this week, on Saturday April 18, 2009, at approximately 12pm ET, Michael Johns will address the Tax Day Tea Party rally in Philadelphia at Independence Mall, located at Chestnut and Fifth Streets in center city Philadelphia. Joining Johns in addressing the Philadelphia Tax Day Tea Party will be radio talk show host Dom Giordano of Philadelphia's WPHT-AM, New Jersey Gubernatorial candidate Steve Lonegan, National Republican Trust PAC Executive Director Scott Wheeler, and Geno's Steaks' owner Joey Vento.

For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him

They took Jesus, and led Him away

"They took Jesus, and led Him away."
John 19:16

He had been all night in agony, He had spent the early morning at the hall of Caiaphas, He had been hurried from Caiaphas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate; He had, therefore, but little strength left, and yet neither refreshment nor rest were permitted Him. They were eager for His blood, and therefore led Him out to die, loaded with the cross. O dolorous procession! Well may Salem's daughters weep. My soul, do thou weep also.

What learn we here as we see our blessed Lord led forth? Do we not perceive that truth which was set forth in shadow by the scapegoat? Did not the high-priest bring the scapegoat, and put both his hands upon its head, confessing the sins of the people, that thus those sins might be laid upon the goat, and cease from the people? Then the goat was led away by a fit man into the wilderness, and it carried away the sins of the people, so that if they were sought for they could not be found.

Now we see Jesus brought before the priests and rulers, who pronounce Him guilty; God Himself imputes our sins to Him, "the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all;" "He was made sin for us;" and, as the substitute for our guilt, bearing our sin upon His shoulders, represented by the cross; we see the great Scapegoat led away by the appointed officers of justice.

Beloved, can you feel assured that He carried your sin? As you look at the cross upon His shoulders, does it represent your sin? There is one way by which you can tell whether He carried your sin or not. Have you laid your hand upon His head, confessed your sin, and trusted in Him? Then your sin lies not on you; it has all been transferred by blessed imputation to Christ, and He bears it on His shoulder as a load heavier than the cross.

Let not the picture vanish till you have rejoiced in your own deliverance, and adored the loving Redeemer upon whom your iniquities were laid

Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth

Is the ACLU suing to have cross-shaped headstones removed from military cemeteries?

The ACLU has filed no such suit, and it hasn't sued to "end prayer from the military" either.

Was Obama rude to wounded veterans during a visit to the National Naval Medical Center?

A chain e-mail that makes such a claim gets several facts wrong and is disputed by an official who was present at the meeting.

Is ACORN providing workers for the 2010 census?

No. ACORN employees will not be taking the census. The group is one of more than 30,000 "partners" that will help publicize the event.

The 'Real' Uninsured

Some critics say fewer people lack access to health coverage than official statistics make it appear. We break down the numbers.

Is Obama planning to increase the federal tax on gun ammunition by 500 percent?

No such proposal has been made by the Obama administration. And nobody in Congress has introduced any bill to increase the 11 percent federal excise tax on ammo.

Is Manbearpig Extinct

More and more scientists are coming out and denouncing the IPCC’s stand on Manbearpig.  31,000 scientists now are on record to go against the theory of Manbearpig.   Along with the last 10 years of cooling and NY City having the coldest summer since 1958, it is kind of hard to take the Manbearpig proponents seriously [...]

One More Tragic Celebrity

The man can only be considered a tragic figure in history. An ego a mile wide, yet insecure at the same time. His parents were both pathetic losers. He grew up seeking the adulation of others, feeding off the constant attention. Surrounding himself with people of questionable morals and values, who took advantage of him, riding [...]

Taxpayers demanding more taxes???

Have I just entered the Twilight Zone, I know there may be some that think that we need some sort of tax increase, but this is a little much for just you average Joe Six Pack.   I think there may be some Astroturfing going on, ACORN or Unions???    Hard to tell, but this is a [...]

Walpingate May Prove Obama’s Waterloo

The scandal brewing in Washington regarding the firing of an Inspector General who was in the process of investigating one of Barack Hussein Obama’s cronies is threatening to rock the very foundation of his presidency. Gerald Walpin, who until recently was the chief watchdog for Americorps and other service programs, was terminated because he exposed misuse [...]

The Letter

I am not really a huge fan of Glenn Beck, so I missed him reading this letter.  But my good friend Skye posted it on Midnight Blue with the video and transcript if this letter.   This is the reason for the Tea Parties.  It has nothing to do with Liberal, Conservative, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Obama, [...]

Nationwide protest against Obama's cap and trade

The time for a nationwide protest against our "lawmakers" has come — I am no longer referring to them as our representatives as they have stopped representing We-the-People. The volume of calls placed on Friday to the US Capitol switchboard and our Congressional Reps again shut it down and voice mailboxes were full. The calls placed were reported to be 10-1 AGAINST Obama's and Pelosi's plan…

UPDATE!!!!

Okay, I know this is getting tiring. But they are going through the amendments right now. These are the ones on the fence that I have right now. So, if you only have a short amount of time, at least call these. A couple said they were voting no on 2454, so I am taking them out of the list.

Ask them to vote no, ask him how he is voting. Remind them that we are sick and tired of paying more taxes, and having them spend our money so that we are going out of business in America. Remind them we do n…
