Official Home of the American Tea Party Movement
Tea Party Protester Visited by Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI
Here is the link to a discussion on the Atlanta Tea Party Patriot website. I wanted to share this with those of you in the larger body. You can view the comments to my original post below at:

Beginning in earnest in September of 2008 I began a campaign of letter writing to elected United States Representatives, Senators, and the White House under both President Bush and now President Obama. The tone of my correspondence has been that of a citizen who is fed up with the government for spending money we do not have, at a time when we are experiencing economic deflation, and taking control of private business, where I believe it is in violation of the constitutional rights of business owners, shareholders, and frankly every citizen of this country. Ask the Bank of America shareholders today if their rights were violated when the government forced BACs CEO to purchase Merrill Lynch for $15 billion more than its' value. I wasn't aware of the facts at that time, but I knew government had no right to enter into the making of business decisions for shareholders, with or without full disclosure.
I have further stated my intent to exercise any and all of my rights as a citizen to do everything in my power to see that any elected official who refuses to govern according to the constitution, and who refuses to act in an official capacity according to the wishes, beliefs, and demands of the public be removed from public office. I have also voiced my opinion that career politicians are the antithesis of the views of the framers, and called for single term limits of any elected office. In no way did I ever suggest anything other than our constitutional rights as citizens to control our government's actions.
Yesterday, as a result of one of my letters, I was paid a visit by the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI. One Senator, Sheldon Whitehouse, reported to the FBI that he felt I was endangering the government and should be investigated as a suspected terrorist. This after every single one my letters was sent through the official website of the government, and contained all of my personally identifying information and was specifically stated as advising each U. S. Senator that I was offering political opinion about pending legislation, or governmental policy.
Apparently, as this left leaning Congress assaults our rights on a daily basis, they are now resorting to reporting dissenters to their policies to the FBI, under the guise of terrorist threats. Since when did expressing a p0litical opinion, or disagreeing with the passage of Socialist bills in the legislature become terrorist in nature? I have specifically objected vehemently to the TARP, TALC, Economic Recovery Act, Omnibus Spending Bill, President Obama's 3.6 trillion dollar budget, cap and trade, and every other anti capitalist bill put forth in the 111th Congress.
The FBI agent was very polite and respectful. He explained why I had been targeted and by whom, Senator Whitehouse, and assured me that this would be the end of it. I explained to him in answer to his questions what and why I had written. He agreed that I have the constitutional right to express my dissatisfaction with government policy. The last thing he said to me was to advise that I keep expressing my opinions.
At first I wasn't too bothered, but really amused that a Senator would do such a thing. I immediately starting penning a new letter to the Honorable Senator, then left it to cool before pressing the submit button. Over the course of the next few hours, the realization of the intent of the Senator's action, and the resulting wariness on my part to write anymore letters came rising up as rage that an elected representative in the United States of America would even dare do such a thing. Is this where we are headed? Is this the Socialistic Fascism the current majority is pushing on the American people to be followed by not only political Fascism, but tyranny at the hands of our Federal law enforcement agencies at the direction of political hacks? Is this the last of it, or am I now identified somewhere as a terrorist threat to be watched?
By the way, my definition of Fascism is when the government controls private business, in very general terms. The connotation by some is much more cynical and perhaps it really should be. I share this here because many of you are writing the same letters. If you have also been targeted, or if you are in the future, we all have the need to know. Your responses are welcome.

Holy cow. Keep on writing and keep on posting so we'll know you haven't been sent to Gitmo.
You've just inspired me to type out another little love note to my representatives today (I just sent one to Nancy Pelosi over the weekend.)

They probably have the IRS doing an audit on him as well. Remember what
they did to Joe the plummer? I wish they would send the FBI to my door.

I did get an IRS letter, form CP2000, shortly thereafter stating I owed an additional $1100 for 2007. When I called them to get details, I was told after some very unusual discussion, that it was a mistake and they would send out a revised letter that I would need to respond to positively, even though they now owe me $4.00. The first letter was 12 pages long, very confusing, and was asking for information already contained in my return. I have yet to receive the follow up, but nothing would surprise me. It could very well be just coincidence, but it certainly seems highly suspect.

I just got one too! Saying I owed an additional $222.00. I've written letters as well and I'm involved in the 912 Project locally and in ACT for America, Brigitte Gabriel's group. It was a super thick envelope I got as well but I just read the first page and planned on giving it to my tax preparer today. I wonder if I'll be on the no-fly list now? If mine also turns out to be a mistake - my local media is getting a call about this. I refuse to be intimidated.

I emailed obama at the whitehouse complaining about his whirlwind of spending and socialist agenda. Not too long after that I got a letter from irs saying I owed 13,000.00 extra on my 2007 return. I almost fell over. I only made 58,000. needless to say my accountant said it was a mistake. I really feel I was being sent a message for the email I sent obama. Well, hear this radical prez. I'm not afraid so bring it on.

I just got one saying I owe thirty-two cents. It came today. I guess the postal service needed something other than junk mail to deliver. They are the only ones coming out on this.

Man, you are my hero! No longer will we "Shut Or Face and Know Our Place!" They don't have enough jail cells for the Patriots - those that are willing to not be cowed by this Administration and its puppets in the Democratic party. They coooo how they have won but they are laying a foundation in this nation against them that will rise up and kick them to the curb. They believe the Republican party is dysfunctional and useless (of which I am not a part of any longer) but the truth is that the Democrats are showing all of us who and what their hearts are. If they want to institute "Truth Commissions" I can not wait until they are out of power and we try this sorry lot for turning our Nation into a Socialist State. I will never forgive them.
Thank you for sharing this. We must stand together and be prepared to have a donation fund for anyone that is attacked by the Government. This is serious business and it must be sent out to the Press across this nation. If they refuse to act - then it will be just another Nail In Their Coffin that we can share with the public over time. Please prepare a press release and post it and I will send it to all the major Main Stream Media print, TV and Radio Stations in CA. Also, be sure to let Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh know because this is more than just an event - this is frightening and the Senator must be questioned on TV before the Nation. We must shut this down immediately - this is our Freedom at stake.
When the Progressive Liberals, Move On, the Main Stream Media were attacking Bush, everything was perfectly OK. If a conservative raises his voice - we are intimidated by the FBI? I am going to call this Senators off and ask them if they actually did this - put them on notice this is going out across America and that we won’t just shut our face! We will expose him for what he is. I encourage others to call as well. If you decide to be intimidated by what has just happened to this Patriot – your rights and liberties are worthless because your fear is stronger than your patriotism. We have lost all.
