Marching on Albany, June 16

In two weeks, Tuesday, June 16, tea partiers and other concerned citizens from across New York will make the trip to Albany to protest in the State’s capitol against the massive budget and the new fees  and taxes proposed to pay for it.

Paterson, and certain members of the State Legislature, have not heard the loud calls by their constituents to cut more spending, to stop spending money we don’t have, and then charging the taxpayers for the overage.

This isn’t a Conservative or Liberal thing, a Democrat or Republican thing: this is a common sense thing.  If the money isn’t there, we can’t spend it.  New York — and New Yorkers — are out of money.

More information from Nancy Foster, who organized the St. Lawrence Co. Tea Party Event in March:

As you know, the March on Albany is June 16 from noon to 3 PM.   The legislature will be in session on June 16.  If we are going to have any impact on the direction our legislators are going, we need to show up in large numbers and make a stand together.  We need to let them know that this spending and taxing madness has to stop.  If it does not stop, there will be consequences in 2010.  Please join us; together we can make a difference!!! 

If you are in the St. Lawrence County area and interested in taking a chartered bus to Albany, please e-mail Nancy Foster at nlfoster@twcny.rr.com  The cost to take a chartered bus is $1,876.  The cost per person will depend on how many people we have.  The bus has 56 seats.  If we fill each seat, the cost will be $33.50 round trip per person.  If we only have 30 people, then the cost would be $62.50 per person round trip, etc.  Tentatively, the bus is scheduled to leave from the Lowe’s parking lot in Ogdensburg at 7 am.  We would probably get back to Ogdensburg about 8 PM. 

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested and able to join us as I need to confirm the trip with the bus company this week.
