Members of the Rockford Tea Party rallied against taxes at Haight Park today. They did a ceremonial tossing of the tea and urged Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey to help in the opposition. They say it's time for government to get smaller, and quit dipping into our pockets. Especially the Federal Government, which group leaders say take 50-cents of every one of our dollars.

The Tea Party's rally comes at a time when Governor Pat Quinn continues his quest to raise income taxes, or slash a billion dollars from the State budget.

Good job Rockford Tea Partiers! Did you ever wonder where the money for things like the subversion of the world's immigration laws may come from? Also, recently I’m seeing an ad campaign, using money we don’t have, to sell us on a new health plan. It seems to me as long as we allow people to print up fiat money there will be no place in the world where freedom can flourish. If the Globalist oppose your efforts, paid for with real hard earned money, all they have to do is fire up the presses and shovel the money to any group that will oppose you. Not only that but it seems they do it in such a way that the money to achieve THEIR goals is borrowed from them. Then we pay interest to a group outside of our country, like the Federal Reserve, on the creation and borrowing of OUR OWN money. IN ESSENCE THEY BEAT US WITH OUR OWN STICK!
