Send your Rep. & Sens. a teabag postcard
I heard of the movement to send teabags to the Representatives and Senators. Apparently, they will not make it through because of the fear of what could actually be in them.
So, I went to my CafePress shop and made a postcard that can be sent instead. This is what it says:
Almost 236 years ago, Colonists were discontented with a government thousands of miles away and not in touch with their needs. They vented those frustrations by throwing 90,000 lbs. of tea into the Boston Harbor. A great nation was born.
Today, Americans are STILL frustrated with a government that, while closer, is no more in touch than they were back then.
I am sending you this virtual teabag to represent the spirit of those brave Colonists. In that same spirit, thousands of Americans will gather on April 15th to make their voices heard.
Listen.
They come in packages of eight, and you should get them in time to send them off to D.C. if you order them soon.
See you all at the Tax Day Tea Parties!
