"Shaw is part of the growing Tea Party movement that is inspiring people who have never been especially interested in politics to join a platform for conservative populist discontent.
The message: Big government is bankrupting everyday Americans with high taxes.
Foes and allies of the Tea Party agreed that the movement is a threat to President Barack Obama's agenda of change and could shift the advantage to Republicans in the November elections.
Surrounded by anti-abortion activists, libertarians and fiscally conservative Republicans, Shaw cheered speakers and musicians who encouraged the crowd to protest expensive government handouts...." Tea Party Detroit

Republicans need to hit the road in 2010, and show America what an all-of-the-above energy policy looks like," she said.
Alaska is a leading producer of crude oil, and Palin has been an outspoken opponent of Obama's cap-and-trade proposals, which have been a stalled agenda item for his administration. But Republicans have the opportunity to steal that issue away from him, said Palin entire article

Tax Freedom Day 2010 Is April 9; Historically Massive Deficits Promise Later Tax Freedom in the Future
America Will Work 1 Day More for Government in 2010 than in 2009; Recession and Tax Cuts Have Made Tax Freedom Earlier
Washington, DC, March 30, 2010 - Tax Freedom Day will arrive on April 9 this year, the 99th day of 2010, according to the Tax Foundation's annual calculation using the latest government data on income and taxes. Americans will work well over three months of the year—from January 1 to April 9—before they have earned enough money to pay this year's tax obligations at the federal, state and local levels.
This year's Tax Freedom Day is one day later than in 2009, but more than two weeks earlier than in 2007. The shift toward a lower tax burden since 2007 has been driven by three factors: (1) The recession has reduced tax collections even faster than it has reduced income; (2) President Obama and the Congress have enacted large but temporary income tax cuts for 2009 and 2010, just as President Bush did in 2008; and (3) Two significant taxes were repealed for 2010 as part of previous legislation, the estate tax and the so-called PEP and Pease provisions of the income tax.
