When and where is the Tea Party?
It will be held at the Bulloch County Courthouse Square on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Why should I participate?
Are you upset, angry, frustrated, or even confused about the way our government is overspending OUR tax dollars? If so, this event gives you an outlet to freely express these emotions in a constructive way.
How can I participate?
Show up! Your presence will make a loud statement. If you wish to protest, you may bring signs with you to hold. A petition will be available for you to sign. Also, if you are not registered to vote in Bulloch County, we will have a voter registration table to do so!
What kinds of things will be going on?
We will have music and speakers. People will be walking around with their protest signs. We invite you to bring your lawn chair or blanket to sit on. Bring something to eat (we suggest a pork product!) and something to drink (tea would be appropriate!).
