AFP-Maryland Encourages Citizens To Attend “Tax Day” TEA Parties

-Thousands expected to protest government growth, fiscal mismanagement-

ANNAPOLIS – The Maryland chapter of Americans for Prosperity is urging all citizens to have their voice heard at nine “Tax Day” TEA parties being held across the state today. Beginning last weekend in Solomon’s Island, TEA parties will be occurring throughout the week of April 15th – the last day individuals can legally send in their tax returns without penalty. As a form of peaceful protest to the wild growth of government, thousands of Marylanders are expected to coalesce and send a message to their representatives: Enough Is Enough.

“With the government take over of our health care at the federal level and the gross mismanagement of the state budget, citizens are concerned about the direction of our country,” said Maryland state director Dave Schwartz. “The TEA party rallies are a message to our elected officials: November is coming and if you don’t vote the right way, we will vote you out. I expect to meet hundreds of new activists around the state today.”

AFP has also started a petition to alert representatives that if they vote ‘YES’ on freedom-killing legislation, we will vote ‘NO’ on election day. Over 360,000 people have signed the petition thus far at www.NovemberIsComing.com.
