I am so glad that more and more people are joining the national tea party movement!
Here is the presser I just received from Dallas Woodhouse:
PRESS RELEASE
TEA PARTIES ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA TO PROTEST GOVERNOR PERDUE'S
PROPOSED TAX HIKES!
Governor Beverly Perdue recently proposed steep tax increases amounting to $680 million in her budget proposal intended to stimulate North Carolina ’s bruised economy.
AFP- North Carolina is very excited to join hands with the many grassroots activists across the country to protest not only Governor Perdue's tax hikes, but all federal bailouts, spending sprees, so-called stimulus packages, earmarks and fiscal irresponsibility in national, state, and local governments.

Note: The Edenton Tea Party was one of the earliest organized women’s political actions in United States history.

Together they formed an alliance wholeheartedly supporting the American cause against “taxation without representation.”
This event will include Revolutionary war re-enactors to celebrate the famous Edenton Tea Party. This is a once in a lifetime event to celebrate our past and protect us from a future of debt and high taxes.
