Today in London, Kentucky we attend a Tea Party in front of the Laurel County Court House. Much like the Boston Tea Party in 1773, Where colonists in Boston protested against Taxation without representation, They refused to accept three ship loads of taxed tea and they also refused to send it back to Britain. So some Colonists boarded the ships one night and threw all the tea into the Boston Harbor because they believed that it violated their constitutional right to be taxed only by their own elected representatives. Therefore being called The Boston Tea Party.

There was no Written agenda today. Anyone who wanted to express their concerns could speak. Which we all did by showing up. Mostly the crowd protested all the spending by Washington because their Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren will have to pay it back someday. One statement was made that is so true "YOU DON'T SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT"

I have tried to teach my children, you don't spend what you don't have. You work hard and then you work some more and you save until you have enough to buy what you want. You don't spend and then look for someone to bale you out!!
