WND has reported on plans for dozens of tea parties across the United States to protest the plans in Washington to spend trillions of dollars – after borrowing it all, as well as when those parties were held.
It can be a kind of central station for events and happenings.

Just today, frustrated citizens in more than 30 cities across the country gathered in a national “tea party” protest to denounce the trillions of dollars in taxpayer money the federal government is doling out in the name of financial bailouts and economic “stimulus.”
Carrying signs with feisty slogans like “Honk if you want to pay my mortgage” and “Obamanomics: Chains we can believe in,” Americans from San Diego to Boston, and many place in between, gathered in parks and on capitol building steps to voice their displeasure.
Stefanie Huffaker brought her 9-year-old daughter to the capitol in Lansing, Mich., to join the Michigan Tea Party.
“I want the president and the Congress to know that they’re spending too much money,” Huffaker told the Detroit Free Press. “We don’t have it. It seems like there’s no end.”
The tea parties were sparked by reaction to CNBC analyst Rick Santelli’s rant last week against Obama’s mortgage assistance plan. As WND reported, Santelli became a YouTube sensation after he decried the proposed $275 billion deficit-financed homeowner bailout plan and other massive spending measures with a call for a new “tea party” from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
