The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps will be holding a "Tea Party" rally at the Topeka State Capital (south lawn) April 4, 2009 starting at 10:00 AM.

Tea Party rallies are springing up all over the United States in protest of the past and current events going on in Washington DC. In addition we are protesting the fact that our current Kansas Legislature is doing absolutely nothing to curb the fact that illegal aliens are taking jobs in Kansas of American citizens. In spite of the calls, emails and letters during the 2008 session in which they did not have the courage to pass SB 458 , as one State Senator said the calls to his office was 300 to 1 in favor of SB 458. They took the side of everyone except Kansas citizens and voters.

The Kansas legislature is once again caving to the Chamber of Commerce which I refuse to refer to as the "United States" Chamber of Commerce any longer, they are not US and they are not Kansas or Missouri anything in my opinion. In addition to the Chamber there is a long list of the usual suspects, those that were on the against list for SB 458 in 2008.

From one of our Volunteers and supporter who just happens to be in the Legislature "April 4 is a great day we will be having drop dead DAY. That means there is a good chance everyone will be in Topeka" so we have a chance of making a great showing at the Topeka statehouse.

Bring your signs to show your disgust and outrage at what is going on in Washington and Kansas. We will have guest speakers for the event as well as many Patriotic Americans and Kansas citizens with one goal in mind, SAVE AMERICA AND THE GREAT STATE of KANSAS.
