Fromer legislative candidate Trent Humphries is one of several small government folk taking up the lead for the local Tax Day Tea Party charge. They even have their own blog, where you can get the latest on their tea party on April 15 at El Presidio Park in downtown Tucson.
I understand the movement is into sending tea bags to state and federal legislators to remind them that in this time when we are hurting most, we need to get rid of those pesky taxes that support things like education and infrastructure.
All these tea bags flying everywhere, with some probably going into that poor fountain at El Presidio Park, I wanted to offer up another symbol for this (false) revolution. They come in all sizes, as well as gold, silver and blue, and can hang nicely behind your pickup.

Ya, but when there’s a protest organized by Leftist hippies or illegal aliens, it’s the greatest thing since the Summer of Love!
Gimme a break…people are sick of the Current Occupant spending us into oblivion. No More Taxation Without Representation!
Maybe your idea will work after all…only people with the balls to protest this crooked Democratic government should show up. Thanks for the thought, Mari. Will you have the balls to show up and counter-protest?
Didn’t think so.
I’m no hippie James. Go suck teabag … and I say that with lots of non-hippie love in my heart.
Hey look, if it will make you all happy, we will turn out all our lights while we down there, and you can pretend we are saving the earth with another dim-witted “earth hour”
Change “Fromer” to Former.
