Are you among the many who didn’t realize “change” and “hope” meant your national government’s already profligate spending was going to skyrocket, conveniently funding (err, “stimulating”) all sorts of Democratic pork projects, interest groups, and pet priorities?
If so, then you might want to join Houston’s version of the Tea Party protests that have sprung up around the country. Here are the details, courtesy of the Houston group’s facebook page:

Few simple rules, :
NO: breaking the law (e.g., loitering, vandalism)
