A couple hundred anti-tax activists braved a chilly drizzle outside the Senate in an unimpressive scene that was a far cry from the throngs that overflowed the Capitol grounds in past rallies.
The top demand was for GOP leaders to stick to their blueprint of cutting $61 billion from the rest of this year's budget."
"Tea Party activist Kathy Dirr, of Liberty Township, Ohio, in Majority Leader John Boehner's district, put it bluntly:
"I say to the Republican leadership, take off your lace panties, stop being noodle backs, take a strong, bold, unwavering stand," she told the rally, to great approval.
Dirr and her Tea Party friends/Republicans also want EPA operations to be cut.

In the absence of EPA regulations, we could all (Tea Partiers included) be wearing oxy masks to attempt survival of everyday life on earth. It would be a catastrophe of unbelievable proportions, just as global warming, continuing unchecked, will be our ultimate demise as a living, breathing, vibrant civilization.
