Cincinnati Tea Party Founder and President Mike Wilson says he expects the turnout to be huge and explains the significance of the event. “For far too long, the average citizen has devoted limited attention to politics. As a result, the entrenched political elite of both parties have felt comfortable paying lip service to core American values, such as fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets, while spending like drunken sailors and infringing on our freedoms. The silent majority has finally awoken and their voice will be heard in West Chester on September 5.”
As it was during World War II, America’s voice will be heard on September 5 at the historical site of wartime broadcasts that were heard around the world. The United States intended the Voice of America to provide hope—the very first program in 1944 began, “We shall speak to you about America…” (Source: Ohio History Central, An Online Encyclopedia of Ohio History)
The rally is being presented by the Cincinnati Tea Party in partnership with the Cincinnati 9/12 Project, the Dayton Tea Party, the Ohio Liberty Council, and the Indiana Tea Party.

About the Cincinnati Tea Party:
The Cincinnati Tea Party is a grassroots, nonpartisan group opposed to wasteful government spending. Our core values are fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. Our goals include influencing elections for the betterment of America, promoting state sovereignty (Federalism), and compelling our elected officials to comply with the Constitution as written by our Founders. The Cincinnati Tea Party was founded by a group of lifelong Cincinnatians in February 2009. In April 2009, Community Tea Parties were launched to allow local leaders to spread the core values at the neighborhood level.

A “nonpartisan” group that seeks to influence elections? Hmm, I wonder what political party this tea party seeks to support? Freedom anyone? puh-lease…

The Tea Party isn’t looking to support any party, hence “nonpartisan.” They are hoping to influence all parties, and elected officials into doing what the people who elected them actually want. One more thing, please keep your “puh-lease” in San Fransisco.

“San Francisco”…spoken like someone who is very nonpartisan. Oh, and learn how to spell it, by the way.

…and are these the same people who voted for a Democratic House, Senate, and Presidency? It seems that most of the country voted to end the Iraq War quicker, improve health care, and focus on the middle class.

If I come to your tea party, and I do not agree with everything you say, will I be called a Hitler lover? I am as American as you are, I just do not agree with you. Growing up we have been told to get along, work things out - that is not the way it is - it is the Tea Party’s way or you are not an American. By the way, I was born here, in Hamilton,do I need to prove I am an American?
