Clarification
From the Cranky Housewife
There have been differing accounts of how many people attended the Geneva Rally on April 15th. For the record, we have just shy of 250 signatures on our petitions. Since we know that we didn't get every one's signature, we can safely estimate that there were between 275 and 300 people at the rally...a solid three hundred when you include children in that count.
Thank you for every one's support in making this event a success. It has been a wonderful experience. I can't wait to get started on our May 15th Tea Party in Batavia.
On a completely different note, you may have been asked how a Catholic organization can reconcile itself to Conservatism...strange question in my opinion. Let me leave you with this thought:
Barack Obama recently visited Georgetown University. The place where he wished to speak contained a gold "IHS" monogram, which symbolizes Jesus' name. The White House asked to have the symbol covered during President Obama's speech. The one thing that I know for near certainty is that a conservative administration would NEVER have made that request. The only thing that I would add is that perhaps we should pray for Georgetown University as they actually complied.

Protesters across the suburbs
say 'No' to taxes
say 'No' to taxes
At the start of his populist, political career, Pat Quinn motivated angry taxpayers in 1978 to send tea bags to lawmakers and the governor to protest government pay hikes.
On Wednesday, the Democratic governor faced the wrath of the tea bag protest himself as hundreds turned out across the state in connection with a nationwide rally largely focused against President Barack Obama, but that also took aim at Quinn's proposed income tax hike.
Some gatherings in the nationwide tea-party protests were small, such as one in Elk Grove Village that attracted about a dozen, while others drew considerably larger crowds, such as in Naperville where more than 100 people rallied.
The protests were scattered across the suburbs, including Batavia and Algonquin, as well as downtown Chicago, where several hundred people rallied, and Springfield, where more than 400 attended.

Our Taxpayer's Tea Party is set for April 15, 2009 from 4 to 6 pm at the Kane County Government Plaza. The building is located at 719 S. Batavia Ave. in Geneva. We are circulating petitions for people to sign. They urge our Senators and Representatives to promote legislation which encourages economic responsibility at the personal, local, state and federal levels.
We have confirmed that State Senator Chris Lauzen will speak at the Geneva Rally at approximately 4:10. Get there early so you can hear all he has to say.
Keep checking back on the blog. We are finalizing plans for our Batavia Tea Party, which will take place on May 15, 2009 from 1 to 2 pm. The location for the Batavia Rally is 27 North River Street at the offices of Rep. Bill Foster.
It essential to let your Representatives know when you disagree with their actions. It is equally important to let them know when they are doing what is right. Check out the links to Senator Lauzen's and Representative Schmitz's websites. Take a moment to let them know how you feel!
