TEA Party Reunion and Rally

On Mon., May 18 (the eve of the statewide Special Election), voters traveling through the heart of Mission Viejo will get a reminder to cast their ballots. Saddleback Republican Assembly invites everyone to come to the corners of La Paz and Marguerite from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Monday for a rally to Get Out The Vote. Participants will hold signs and wave flags.

To update information in last week’s blog, organizers of the event announced that Diamond Tom will be back by popular request. He provided musical entertainment for the April 15 rally.

The rally will also be a reunion for those who attended the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party in Mission Viejo on April 15 as part of the nationwide tax protest. Attendees last month emphasized keeping the momentum going. SRA members are inviting voters of all political parties to join the rally in protest of higher taxes.

For Tuesday’s Special Election, rally organizers have taken the position that government officials at all levels should decrease spending instead of raising taxes. This blog’s staff members are recommending a “no” vote on Propositions 1A through 1F.
