April 15th

The dreaded tax day is today and many people are disheartened by the direction the country is going but as for thousands of conservatives that wanted to have an active voice on this day. Thousands of people gathered in thousands of locations for "Tea Parties" where they protested the outrageous spending of our government. These demonstrations showed that people are not just going to sit back anymore and let our government do whatever they want. Most of the people that participated in these tea parties are conservatives and disagree completely which how President Obama is running the country since he took office. The name for the "tea parties" came from the Boston Tea Party demonstration of 1776. After the Republican party lost the election pretty bad a few months ago there has been a lot of discussion of who the new leader of the party would be because the direction of the party was no very distinct. Some leaders of the party wanted to go somewhere in the middle and others wanted to go back to as far right as they could similar to the way that Ronald Reagan ran the country. But tonight no matter who the political leaders of either of the parties are it show a ray of hope in this country that many citizens do care about the country they live in and they are willing to do something about it. These tea parties acted as a voice to the government to stop wasteful spending. Not just from the republicans but by all citizens that feel this country has been to excessive recently. On this dreadful tax day today there was a great ray of hope across the country and I think that is exactly what this country needs at this time.
