III 111th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 98 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 2, 2009 Mr. Vitter submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Designating each of April 15, 2009, and April 15, 2010, as National TEA Party Day.

Whereas the taxpayers of the United States understand that the so-called stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5; 123 Stat. 115), included a laundry list of spending projects; Whereas the taxpayers of the United States understand that the bailouts of Wall Street by the United States Government have been ineffective and a waste of taxpayer funding; Whereas the taxpayers of the United States agree that the United States Government should stop wasteful spending, reduce the tax burden on families and businesses, and focus on policies that will lead to job creation and economic growth; and Whereas taxpayers in the United States are expressing their opposition to high taxes and skyrocketing spending by the United States Government by organizing Taxed Enough Already parties, also known as TEA parties: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate designates each of April 15, 2009, and April 15, 2010, as National TEA Party Day.
