Are you an Outraged Taxpayer? I know I am.
Are you fed up with paying for your government’s IRRESPONSIBLE spending decisions?
Are you tired of politicians who forget that they’re PUBLIC SERVANTS?
Are you tired of THEIR voice not being YOUR voice?
These are the words used on StateCapitolProtest.com as they describe their upcoming peaceful protest. Are you intrigued?
I received a press release from Representative Daryl Metcalfe recently. Usually you receive announcements from Legislators that promote some endeavor that they are involved in, but Rep. Metcalfe’s announcement titled “Metcalfe Leads Fiscally Conservative Lawmakers in Calling for Pennsylvania State Capitol Taxpayers’ Protest” was a little different.
Representative Metcalfe is a State Representative, but he is also a taxpayer. He shows genuine concern regarding fiscal issues and he backed that up by promoting the Pennsylvania State Capitol Taxpayers’ Protest (StateCapitolProtest.com).
According to the protest website
Protest will begin at 9:00am and will last through the day until 4:30pm.
Pennsylvania taxpayers will enter the State Capitol Building from Third Street and Commonwealth Avenue entrances. They will advance to their respective representative or senator’s office and remain there the entire day to send a message to big government that THIS DAY we will no longer stand for increased taxes and irresponsible spending funded by WE the taxpayers! If their office is filled find another legislator’s office that isn’t! Fill the Rotundas and then the halls!
Legislators have a planned calendar for June 9, 2009 . . . Let them know that YOU, their employer, are demanding they listen and act on what you have to say!
Join us for a peaceful taxpayer’s protest in the fight for our freedom!
I find the concept very cool. This isn’t a sign waving protest on the steps of the Capitol in Harrisburg. No, this is a peaceful protest where concerned citizens simply go to the offices of their State Legislators and State Senators and SIT. Just take up space and get the attention of our elected officials. Very interesting indeed!
If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, but you want a way to look your Legislators in the eye and let them know that you are dissatisfied, this is a great opportunity. For more details, go to the Taxpayers’ Protest website at http://www.statecapitolprotest.com/.
If you are interested in attending, here are the office locations of the Legislators from Mercer County:
Senator Bob Robbins
Room 337 Capitol Building
Representative Michele Brooks
153B East Wing
Representative Mark Longietti
103 Irvis Office Building

As always, just my opinion.
