Come on out to the Tax Day Tea Party
If you think this tea party is going to involved cheese and crackers, you may be a little behind the times. Here's some catch-up info.
If you're interested in attending a Taxed Enough Already (Tea) Party in Nevada - good news - you've got plenty of options.
The Nevada Appeal reports on Wednesday's party up in Carson City.Lawmakers will see protesters outside the Legislature and Capitol April 15 as part of a nationwide protest against government waste and taxes.
And there's a big party in Las Vegas featuring NPRI's own Goeff Lawrence, Fox News business contributor Herman Cain, blogger Elizabeth Crum and several others. I can guarentee Geoff will be either the best or the baldest speaker there - looks like you'll have to show up to see which.
Held on the deadline for paying federal taxes, organizers are calling it the Tax Day TEA Party.
Dorothy Peterson of Douglas County said TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. "It's non-partisan, not supposed to be Democrat against Republican or anything like that," she said.
"It's just citizens who are tired of being taxed irresponsibly"...
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday in front of the Capitol and Legislature.
The Facebook page already has over 440 confirmed guests, so you know there's going to be quite a crowd.
It's going to be held at Sunset Park in Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 15. The official rally picnic goes from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the speakers will start at 1 p.m.Keynote remarks will be delivered around 1:00 pm by special guest Herman Cain.
