NORWALK TEA PARTY: A NEW MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN to STOP SACRAMENTO from TAXING US INTO A HOLE!

Today in Norwalk a new movement began to stop higher taxes, and to take back Sacramento from "do-nothing-tax-us-to-death-politicians."

A loud, enthusiastic crowd of local community leaders, grassroots activists, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, from every part of our rich colorful and diverse area gathered at Norwalk City Hall on Saturday morning, to rally Against Propositions 1A to 1F. he 6 Ballot measures will be appearing on next Tuesday's California Special Election Ballot.

Those speaking at the Rally included Homeless Advocate Ted Hayes, Cerritos College Trustee Bob Arthur, Community Organizer Randy Economy, Former Bellflower School Board Member Rick Royse, Bellflower Councilman Art Olivier, Pico Rivera Community Leader Luis Alvarado, La Mirada Businessman Noel Jamie, State Assembly candidate P.J. Mellana, and Cerritos community leader Allen Wood.

Seen above is me, Randy Economy (No No No No) as me with the incredible/inspirational Ted Hayes. This was the first time I had met Ted Hayes, and we instantly bonded...what a great guy. Also seen is Cerritos College Trustee Bob Arthur during his now famous "ENOUGH" speech!!! Right on! Here is a summary of the event from Matt Kauble from our Group Facebook Page. Well SAID MATT:

"For a 1st time out we got about 50 folks out to our Norwalk Tea Party, hope to have the video from today's event up on youtube.com by tomorrow. For those not willing to wait for the video, here is a synopsis followed by a link to the pictures:Ted Hayes, Rick Royse of Bellflower spoke about the high government imposed costs that are causing businesses leaving California, Luis Alvarado of Pico Rivera talked to how the unions and politicians stacked the deck in Pico Rivera to make it the city with the highest taxes and how we are trading private sector jobs for public sector jobs, Bob Arthur of Norwalk got up and spoke to how local governments routinely balance their budgets only to have a mismanaged state take from their coffers, we then had an open mike with two brave souls got up and spoke about how the high costs are affecting their communities one of them (Bellflower resident P.J. Mellana) going so far as declaring for the 50th State Assembly because of the corruption and mismanagement among the elected officials in the partisan offices. We then went to Cerritos residents Allan Wood, who reminded everyone to vote against the 6 props, & Randy Economy, who talked concerning how badly the government has been mismanaged by Arnold Schwarzenegger and before him Gray Davis and why he left the Democrat Party. Randy then swore everyone in to pledging to go to the polls and vote No on each of the Propositions. We finished off with Ted Hayes reading the preamble to the U.S. Constitution and the pledge each of our public officials have lifted their hands to pledge in God's name to do, but how we need to hold them accountable.It was a great day with a great line up of speakers."

This FREE community grassroots rally is being planned by several local community leaders who are fed up with high taxes, and who want to bring accountability and reform to Sacramento.

The Rally this Saturday is being planned by several local community leaders, from all walks of life, from all political views.

I don't know about you, but I have had enough with the politicians in Sacramento!

I am tired of backless politicians and faceless millionaire bureaucrats who tax US voters to death and then claim they have no alternative but to "make ends meet" by raising multi-Billions of Dollars in NEW taxes.

As such, I intend to make a statement by voting NO to MORE tax increases and borrowing in the next Tuesday's Special election (Props 1A-1F), and to do my part to help organize this grassroots movement to help defeat these measures.

In a previous column, I mentioned that I would probably be voting FOR Proposition 1F. But I have changed my mind, and will now be voting NO on Prop. 1F.

Instead of giving "no pay checks" to those in Sacramento who cannot balance our affairs, I much prefer just voting them out of office instead of giving them another "loophole" to sliver through.

It's a shame that the once great State of California has a budget deficit greater than most all the rest of the States combined.

It's a travesty that our California State Legislature actually started accruing this deficit several years back when the economy was still booming.

It's offensive that our Governor and the Legislature manipulated figures and outright lied for several years in a row as they pretended to balance the state budget, when all they were doing was digging us deeper and deeper into a cash coffin.

It's hard to trust the Governor who promised to cut up the State's credit card, after he helped oust our last Governor in a recall, but has instead actually increased our borrowing.

Are you not insulted that the only solution presented to us by our Governor and State Legislature who created this dilemma is to raise taxes and borrow even more money?

We have tons of waste in our California State Budget. The scare campaigns are outrageous in this campaign, and the People will have the final say so on Tuesday.

In the meantime, see you in Norwalk on Saturday! Let Freedom Ring! RRE
