TEA 2.0 on January 20: Tea Parties Will “Strike” Against Businesses Funding Socialism on Obama’s 1-Year Anniversary

National Day of Strike is coming on January 20… liberals are mocking it (natch), but at least some of the fringe media is giving it a tiny bit of coverage.
CBS News: Tea Party Movement Plans “Strike” for Jan. 20:
As the one-year anniversary of President Obama’s inauguration nears, the Tea Party movement is planning a “strike” against corporations they call responsible for “funding socialism” and “backing the leftist agenda” of the new president.
Liberal politicians benefit from “large donors, labor union thugs, Hollywood elites and major media propagating our destruction,” contends strike organizer Allen Hardage at the Tea Party Patriots web site.
In the wake of the economic downfall and the financial and auto bailouts of the past year, the tea party movement sprang up to represent conservative voters who felt disenfranchised. The election of a Democratic president intent on promoting new government spending on things like health care has spurred on the movement, prompting protests against big government and its ties to big business.
Hardage writes that on Jan. 20 “the TEA Party movement moves into the next phase, TEA 2.0, of taking our country back… We will demonstrate our power and reach to those companies who employ individuals backing the leftist agenda in every major city, every congressional district and every small rural town in America to spread one unified message. That message is simple: Stop funding socialism.”
From CNN Politics, Tea Party groups plan ‘strike’:
Some Tea Party activists from across the country are planning a ‘national strike’ on January 20, the one-year anniversary of President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
The idea of holding an economic protest sprung up during the holidays as the result of a conference call held by various Tea Party group leaders, according to Allen Hardage, a conservative grassroots organizer from Georgia.
“Tea Party activists are frustrated that despite a huge turnout over the last year Congress is ignoring them,” says Hardage, who is national operations director for the planned strike. “The question is that if the elected officials ignore you, what do you do to exercises your right to self-governance? So we decided to hold a National Day of Strike where we go after the large donors of the people pushing this radical agenda.”
Hardage says the idea of the one-day strike is to focus attention on the businesses that support the most liberal members of Congress as well as groups that advocate “big government” policies.
