"These are the times that try men's souls." - Thomas Paine
As one of America's greatest founders, Thomas Paine challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy more than 200 years ago. The plain language that Paine used to speak to the common people of America 2 centuries ago is once again being heard around this great country to those who have ears to hear.
As many of the regular Twinsanity readers know, our family is participating in the upcoming Re-TeaParty of America beginning with our symbolic mailing of tea bags to the Oval Office this April 1st, 2009 and then later with our symbolic protest at the California State Capitol on April 15th, 2009 along with thousands of other Californians. Similar "Tea Party" protests are being planned around this great country...if you need information on your own state's "Tea Party" just visit the web site http://www.reteaparty.com/ for details.
I also touched on this Re-Tea Party and our family's participation in a previous Twinsanity posting. You can backtrack to that post by clicking here: http://ashley-twinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/03/re-tea-party.html
