                               S. Res. 98

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