Kentucky Tea Party - March 21 - Lexington

IT IS TIME TO ACT!

The federal stimulus, spending hundreds of billions of dollars we don't have; sending billions to states that are raising taxes anyway; bailouts going to companies that should be restructured instead of sustained; 9,000 earmarks being called 'last year's news'; proposals to tax energy until it's no longer affordable, to dispense with the secret ballot for union elections, to make the government the director of all health care, to double welfare spending...

It is an assault on the liberty that is very foundation of our national success, and it's time to say so.

The Kentucky Club for Growth, Leland Conway of WLAP in Lexington, the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, The Conservative Edge and others are organizing a Kentucky Tea Party in downtown Lexington.

Come down to the Robert F. Stevens Courthouse Plaza (corner of Limestone and Main) at noon on March 21st and let City Hall, Frankfort, and Washington know what's on our minds.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!

Don't be content with having this discussion among ourselves. We need to show that conservatives are still here and willing to engage.

Date: Saturday, March 21, 2009
Time: 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Location: Robert F. Stevens Courthouse Plaza

WE ARE ORGANIZING SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. We must remind everyone that national success follows from individual success, not government direction.

JOIN US! Bring signs, teabags, whatever your inspiration.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Financial Troubles
"The Negative Outlook reflects plans to continue to deplete fund balances and virtually drain the budget reserve trust in the current biennium. Further, Fitch remains concerned about the weakened pension funding levels and the commonwealth's rising debt position as an additional $1.65 billion in debt has been authorized for the biennium."
