Dear Friends: I wanted to invite citizen activists to a special event tomorrow.
The Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition (SCTRC) is joining several of the area’s citizen action groups tomorrow for a press conference that offers support to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and members of his state’s legislature as they join together to pass a responsible budget reform bill (and, perhaps, now Indiana). The details of this conference are:
SUPPORT WISCONSIN BUDGET REFORM
11:00 am – Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011
Kearney Mesa Park
Corner of Mesa College Dr. & Armstrong St.; 3170 Armstrong St, San Diego, CA 92111-5703
Members of our group will join Richard Rider of San Diego Tax Fighters, who will be the lead spokesperson for this event. We will be joined by representatives from Stop Taxing Us, Vista Tea Party Patriots, the Eagle Forum, and others. In fact, Richard Rider has a few interesting thoughts:
But for me, this union howling is refreshing — and inevitable. The public employee unions are under attack, and they are fighting back with everything they have. And they are alienating folks with their antics.
Anyone expecting these thugs to go quietly into the night is delusional. The battle is joined in Wisconsin, and hopefully will soon be coming to my California state and local governments.
Sarah Bond, SCTRC Chief Executive Officer, offers this statement: “This past week, the citizens of Wisconsin and America have witnessed the patently LAWLESS behavior of Wisconsin Democrat Senators (hiding from their sworn duty to represent the taxpayers), educators wasting taxpayer money by burning “sick” days to protest, and the physicians colluding teachers to defraud the taxpayers…all in the name of some tortured definition of Fairness.
“What this behavior truly illustrates is that Wisconsin Public Employees and their advocates have no regard for the hardships crushing the taxpayers in this economy. Who is covering the desperate single mother trying to find a last minute babysitter because teachers have forced schools to close. Who is going to help HER pay the rent this month because she has to miss valuable days at work? Why are the taxpayers servants to the Public Employees and their tantrums?
“The roll of the government is to provide protections of our basic rights, civil liberties-minded public safety, and a limited safety net for the truly vulnerable in society. The roll of government is NOT to be an employer. The public employees of Wisconsin do not have a right to their jobs. The lawmakers of Wisconsin have a duty to put the priorities of the TAXPAYERS ahead of employees
The Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition, with thousands of registered members in the San Diego County and greater Southern California area, has spearheaded many citizen action items related to state and national legislative measures”.
Groups are welcome and encouraged to invite members to join us for a stronger showing, however, please share that this is not an open-mic and that any signage needs to focus on the specific theme of supporting Wisconsin budget reform and Gov. Walker. Because of the short notice, I have prepared downloadable 8.5” x 11” signs for anyone that needs one:

SLOB ROUND-UP:
Great posts from our local Tea Party pundits, that I have to share:
CHARLES CAESAR: SMALL VICTORY ON KPBS. Charles describes his radio-challenge of two global warming believers. ESSENTIAL READING:
* SHANE ATWELL: ALTRUISM EMPOWERS EVIL (Something for my Star Wars and LOTR fans) and his weekly regulatory excess round-up.
* BEERS WITH DEMO: JOB WANTED AD FOR PERSON TO CREATe FAKE ON-LINE PERSONA:The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage “fake people” on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues.
* B-DADDY: Tea Party Presidential Handicappingand Wisconsin, Bargaining Rights and SEIU Tactics
* RIGHT KLIK on LEFT COAST REBEL: MEDICAL FRAUD AT WI PROTESTS.More on that HERE.
* WC Varones: SILVER NEVER SLEEPS. Neither, does it seem, does oil.
I’ll try to be there, Leslie. It would help, though, if there were some doctors there to sign a sick chit for me. This whole work thing really impedes my activitist symptoms.
Thanks for the link.
