Going After the "Cap and Tr8tors"

This is the way to let them know we’re not going to take this fascist nonsense lying down:

Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) is one of the eight “cap-and-tr8ters” who crossed the line and voted for the Waxman-Markey Bill, generally known as cap-and-trade, but in fact is a national energy tax.

Today at Noon a Tea Party protest took place at Kirk’s district office in Northbrook. It was a floating crowd–some came during their lunch hour–but the peak attendance was thirty–a huge number considering the event was announced just yesterday afternoon and received no mainstream media coverage that I know of.

Everyone I spoke with, with the exception of myself Anne Leary of Backyard Conservative, lived in Kirk’s Chicago North Shore district, and Leary and I live within a mile of Kirk’s corner of the state.

While working my father-in-law’s garage sale this past weekend a lady come to shop dropped in to my hands her personal manifesto about what is wrong with our country – too much taxes, too much spending, too much socialism…never had that happened before. The lady was apparently passing it out to all and sundry as she went about her business. I know, just one bit of anecdotal evidence…but I’m seeing more and more people just furious with the current state of affairs. I think a political hurricane is brewing.
