He's back! Guess who's coming to tea parties

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, or "Joe the Plumber"

Joe the Plumber is hitting the streets to speak at tea parties and help citizens take America back this Independence Day weekend.

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became known as Joe the Plumber following his Oct. 12 encounter with then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in Ohio. He questioned Obama's plan to raise taxes on Americans who earn more than $250,000 each year.

He told WND his suspicions about the next president came true, but Obama isn't the only person he blames.

"I don't go around talking about President Obama too often because it tends to draw a line for people. I blame Congress ultimately for everything that is going badly," he said. "Obama just got in there. But that being said, I don't care for how he is conducting our foreign affairs. It worries me. He's also pushing a lot of things through too quickly and not giving American people a chance to catch their breath. I really don't care for how his leadership has been going so far."

Wurzelbacher is scheduled to speak in Conroe, Texas, on July 2, and then he will go to Austin, Texas, at 9 a.m. on July 3 at the Zilker Park Polo Field picnic area.

Austin tea party organizer Judy Holloway told WND she was excited to have 5,000 people with different political perspectives show up at the Tax Day protest.

"It was surprising because Austin is the most liberal city in Texas," she said. "It's like someone took a city in California and dropped it in the middle of Texas."

Her husband, Greg Holloway, said the protest will also feature doctors who will offer insight about the reality of government health care. He said they also invited Joe the Plumber to speak because he is an excellent example of regular citizens who are demanding answers from their leaders.

"Prior to [his encounter with Obama], Joe was not known at all," Greg said. "I don't know that he'd had a lot of political science background, but he thought about the country and asked questions. We saw the difference it made. He's a good example of what a grass-roots movement should be about. "

Following the Austin event, Wurzelbacher will arrive at the Houston tea party that evening. He plans to spend Independence Day at the San Antonio tea party.

Joe the Plumber said the best advice he can give to citizens who are frustrated with intrusive government is to stop voting along party lines and begin electing leaders who will abide by the nation's founding document.

"Learn the Constitution," he said. "Then when someone wants to be elected, hold their feet to the fire and make them follow it because that's what we need to get back to. It works so well when we follow it. Forget party politics. Learn the Constitution and vote the best American in, not the best Democrat or Republican."

Wurzelbacher said Americans must remind politicians that they "work for us."

"That's my whole goal," he said. "I'm just trying to remind people that we are in charge of our government. I stay away from the Left or Right and ask people to leave party politics at the door and be an American first."

For tea party critics who claim the protests are organized by the Republican Party, Wurzelbacher said they should attend and witness firsthand the grass-roots movement.

"I'm cynical by nature, but I am also very hopeful because I see people from the Left and the Right showing up to these tea parties," he said. "You have people, bikers, union members and guys in three-piece suits showing up to these things."

In fact, he said many organizers prefer to keep politicians, Republican or Democrat, detached from the events.

"Politicians are slick," Wurzelbacher said. "They talk really pretty, but they bring no action to the table."

It is possible for citizens to take America back from "elitists who feel entitled," he said, but patriots must come together and stop their nation from being destroyed from the inside.

"Americans in general have a short memory," Wurzelbacher said. "After Sept. 11 happened, we were patriots for six months, and then half of them fell off. Now there's a very real threat to our country. I don't believe any one nation can take us out, but I definitely think we can take ourselves out."

Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he replied, "I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, 'No.'"

He continued, "I believe he's gotten me on this grass-roots movement. If I can encourage leaders to step up, that's what I would like to do. That's a heavy role. That's something I don't know if I am prepared to do yet."

But Wurzelbacher said he will keep that door open if God ever calls him to be that leader.

"I just know whenever I fall off his path, things get really hard," he said. "So I just stick with what God tells me to do."
