A REMINDER-- on Wednesday July 22^nd at 11 am in the Alley behind the Municipal Building, the SC Policy Council will recognize the City of Aiken for making their records available online at no expense to the taxpayer.

Aiken Tea Party

Press Release

The grass roots citizen gatherings event that has sparked a political firestorm around the country is coming to Aiken.

Downtown Aiken will be the scene this weekend when citizens from all across the area come together to make a statement against runaway government taxing and spending

Aiken, South Carolina, April 25, 2009:  This Saturday, in the “Alley” in downtown Aiken, ordinary citizens will take the spotlight as part of a nationwide movement that continues to gather momentum.  Hundreds of “Tea Parties” were held across the country back on Tax Day on April 15^th.  On that day, the state house in Columbia was ground zero for thousands who came from far and wide to make their voices heard. Another Tea Party drew a large crowd to downtown Augusta. The Tea Party this Saturday in Aiken may be somewhat smaller but is expected to be no less enthusiastic coming on the heels of the other events. Those who attend the event will hear remarks from South Carolina’s Comptroller, Richard Eckstrom, several State senators and Representatives, County and city council members,  and various community leaders. A live band will provide patriotic music and there will be awards handed out for the most creative signs displayed during the gathering. The festivities get underway at 1 pm this Saturday, April 25^th in the “Alley” in downtown Aiken. Like the other events held around the country, the Aiken Tea Party is a nonpartisan event open to folks across all political party lines. For more information, call event coordinator, Colen Lindell, at (803) 640-9547.
