Here is the article from the Phoenix about the tax day tea party. I think the organizers should look into the history of the Boston Tea Party to check if that is the reference they want to make. I assume that unlike the original tea party, this group does not question the ability of the current government to levy taxes. I assume that the representation that is claimed to be lacking as a basis for taxation is the fact that Republicans no longer run the show. That is a bit different from the original concept.

And this Sheepdog thing. Don't we pay for this war through taxation of our people and businesses? Here is my favorite by far:

Peppel said that she’s excited that the American Sheep Dog from West Chester will be on hand.

“They are a veterans organization that does pro-American rallies in opposition to the anti-american/anti-war movement,” she said. “We know their presence will make an impact on others.”

So we invited the Pro American/Pro War people, great. Are the Pro American/Anti War people invited also? Do the Sheepdogs even think that it is possible for someone to be both?
