Activitists and Taxpayer groups go on offensive

It's been a pretty interesting 120 days since the election of our new President. A huge loss in many eyes, but frankly activists and taxpayer groups seem to have seen a dramatic resurgence of activity. In 2008 all the debate seemed to be on who could run the quickest to the middle of the political spectrum. In one of my only positive comments on Ron Paul, he seemed to be the only one yelling from the corner "government is the problem not the solution."

Speakers, which will include Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians, will be announced at a later date.

Quite a few cities will also feature Tea Parties tomorrow, for those that may have missed it, Rick Santelli from CNBC on a rant against the stimulus bill called for a Chicago Tea Party and the idea went viral.
