Teabags - get your teabags - teabagging in Michigan tomorrow! Joenotaplumber will be there!

Emmet County’s chapter of Taxed Enough Already is hoping to draw up to 1,000 people to its latest demonstration at 6 p.m. Friday, May 1, in Petoskey’s Pennsylvania Park.

Harbor Springs resident Tom VanHaaren last attended a Tax Day Tea Party in Troy, and is hoping to bring together anyone who is “outraged that Washington has spent us into oblivion.” With an emphasis on being an action-group, VanHaaren’s goal is to help others get involved on their own through phone calls, letter writing and even forming their own committees.

“People don’t need to feel helpless,” he said.

Although the group’s criticism is leveled at Congress and the Obama administration’s stimulus package, VanHaaren pointed out the group is non-partisan.

“This is a passionate, patriotic group of people. We want to take a step back and stop the spending,” said VanHaaren. “A large majority of people who voted in the last election didn’t sign up for an $11 trillion deficit. If that number would have been brought up, I think they would have stopped and thought before they cast their vote.

1. Harbor Springs is a very affluent area. Hardly an endorsement for living on a purse string.

2. If you go, make sure you take a box of kleenex and keep sniffing & sneezing

3. I'm not sure how many will show up

This is a pretty liberal area of the state, but we have a lot of militia nutjobs up in the area that would love an opportunity like this to demonstrate. Yeah, most of the Michigan militia nutjobs live up in my neck of the woods. Pity me. I'll be at work most of the day so I won't have time to get up there and look around, but will be watching the news to see if this makes it as a story, or if only 3 people show up.

I'd be so tempted to show up with my Granholm/Cherry t-shirt carrying a May Day for the Workers sign. :)
