The Sons of Liberty tarring and feathering a tax collector underneath the Liberty Tree

So get your favorate Indian head dress and garb ready for one heck of a 4th of July party!  The Liberty Tree Lantern recommends not to forget to prepare your effigies in the likeness of your least favorate Congressmen like Senator Harry pork Reid or our Speaker of the House Nancy spend all the taxpayer money you can, give nothing back, Pelosi  or the head Communist in Chief himself B.O..  Of course we shouldn’t forget the creators of “The Matrix” (Our Economy that only exists as programmed into our minds, created by wealth printed out of thin air, paper and ink monopoly money), THE FEDERAL RESERVE!  We need to hang a few of them for sure! 

How about a few hanging effigy pinnatas?  Yeah we could hang them under Liberty Trees and stick them with pitchforks!   Now that’s an Independence Day celebration!

Seeing as how the first effigy of Senator Harry Reid was strung up last Independence Day at the Menominee Memorial Park in the U.P. of Michigan, which is right by the Menominee Marina, perhaps we here in the twin cities of Marinette / Menominee ought to take advantage of our area and have a few yachts setup for a mock Boston Tea Party just offshore of the Marina.

I know we have a designated Liberty Tree nearby for those who would like to tar and feather or hang an effigy of their least favorate Congressmen and women.  Bring patriotic signs and Gadsden flags to display from our Menomoninee, MI  Liberty Tree for the event.  All taxpayers are invited.  Everybody to dress up as a patriot or an Indian.

Here is some information on other Tea Parties being planned around America: http://www.reteaparty.com/2009/03/reteaparty-podcast/

Photograph of Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) found on

plaque hanging around neck of effigy in Menominee, MI.

Speak of Independence Day fireworks!  Wow.  Three piece Senator Harry Reid “stuffed suit” (pun intended) complete with polished dress shoes, tie and even eye glasses with a plaque hanging from around his neck that had a picture of him giving the finger to the American public as he spoke on the Senate floor.  Under the picture it had his quote when he said; “We will allow additional leases for you to drill for oil, to lower your gasoline prices, in The Gulf of Mexico, over my dead body!” – as apparently, according to the plaque, reported in The Washington Times.  It would appear that we have the freedom to drill for oil, to lower our gasoline and food prices, in the Gulf now.

 There were all sorts of other patriotic signs, hanging from branches and planted ground stands like: “United We Stand” with a U.S. Flag but with the yellow Gadsden Flag stickers (first flag of American Freedom) with coiled snake and “Don’t Tread On Me” on it, “God Bless America” and a bunch of other printed constitutional fact signs posted around the Liberty Tree.  I have to say; after you got over the shock of the “hanging” it was patriotic and very educational.

One of the signs indicated concerns about rising payroll taxes to cover Social Security and Medicare libilities (as Barack Obama has promised in his recent speeches regarding the need for additional taxation in his tax plan) provided detailed facts with supporting sources and talked about the resulting eroding of take home pay to support our families.  The near professionally printed sign asked how can we afford a much smaller paycheck when gasoline, energy and food prices are so high already and still climbing.

 According to accounts the Menominee, MI police came and removed the entire display about mid-morning.  Some people were distressed to see the display, while others said they could certainly understand how people could be so upset with the actions of Congress that have lead us to the point where we have lost much of our freedom, homes and prosperity by the results of Congressional intervention in the affairs of free people and business.

 The Bartenders from the Pirates Cove across 1^st Street from the Menominee Memorial Park in Menominee were really shocked when they woke up and looked out the window, above the bar, to see the Senator Harry Reid effigy hanging there twisting in the gentle morning breeze.  I guess it was pretty scary.  Apparently there must be a few people in these parts that are not happy with what Congress has done to our gasoline and food prices and what they intend to do to our take home pay.
