With music and free food, speakers will outline the principles of freedom and liberty found among Tea Party supporters, and will bring to light the constitutional principles which many supporters of the Tea Party count on when considering candidates and issues in an election. A particularly contentious local point is that of Issue 7, a tax levy placed on the May 4 ballot by the Xenia City Council. After the Xenia city manager hired political consulting firm Avakian Consulting in order to help with the passage of the levy, they were sued for fraud, misappropriation of funds and violation of election law. The lawsuit was dismissed on April 14 on a technicality, and so far no decision has been made to appeal.
"What started as an off-hand comment made to a friend is now becoming a reality," said Virgil Vaduva, founder of stopxeniatax.com and Republican candidate for the primary race for Greene County Commissioner. "This rally will shine the light of truth on the dark deeds of back-room politics here in Xenia and in Greene County," said Vaduva.
Local area residents involved in organizations like the Dayton Tea Party, Xenia Liberty Group and Ohio Open Carry are helping out with the planning of the event, and a number of Xenia residents volunteered their time to help organize the rally and provide logistical support for it. "The response to the call for the rally was strong and folks are excited to be part of this - I hope the whole city shows up!" said Virgil Vaduva.
Speakers will take turns sharing the steps of the 1902 Greene County Courthouse in Xenia, which dons a stained-glass window featuring a blind-folded woman holding the justice scales and the inscription "The safety of the people is the supreme law." A full list of speakers will be released later on as it is being finalized.
The rally is tentatively planned for April 24, at 4:00 PM.
- I have been called a liberal "left field" guy because I am building a strawbale house, yet I carry a loaded Glock 17 everywhere I go and can shoot a decent grouping with my .308 Steyr from a couple of hundred yards.
- I've also been called anything from liberal or moderate to conservative crazy guy. Which one is it?
- I manage very complex information security environments for a living and can run a chainsaw as well as a logger.
- I've been called "greedy" because I am against taxation, but last year we gave more than half of our possessions away to charity and people who were really in need of everything from clothing to furniture, electronics and many other things.
- Probably I'll be called "bragging" now that I wrote about it...
- I read and agree with Murray Rothbard but I am running for office.
- I am a Preterist but believe the future holds a huge promise and potential for mankind!
- I listen to Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh and NPR.
- I have many "emergent" friends but read Lew Rockwell too.
- We attend a Nazarene church, a Church of Christ expats church, and I love Eastern Orthodox theology.
- I've been called "conservative" because we homeschool our kids but "liberal" because I have tattoos.
- I smoke premium cigars...usually you can find me once a week at The Wharf in Beavercreek, but also work out almost every morning at Urban Active.
- I am a liberal because I have cool tattoos but a conservative because I can translate from the Greek New Testament.
Added after Tim's comment:
- I'm an old-earth creationist, which makes me a liberal, but I believe the Bible...which makes me a conservative?!

He doesn't fit the mold...
Jamie and I were speaking today about how I make the worst target for anyone trying to put me in a mold and attack me on a political or personal level:- I have been called a liberal "left field" guy because I am building a strawbale house, yet I carry a loaded Glock 17 everywhere I go and can shoot a decent grouping with my .308 Steyr from a couple of hundred yards.
- I've also been called anything from liberal or moderate to conservative crazy guy. Which one is it?
- I manage very complex information security environments for a living and can run a chainsaw as well as a logger.
- I've been called "greedy" because I am against taxation, but last year we gave more than half of our possessions away to charity and people who were really in need of everything from clothing to furniture, electronics and many other things.
- Probably I'll be called "bragging" now that I wrote about it...
- I read and agree with Murray Rothbard but I am running for office.
- I am a Preterist but believe the future holds a huge promise and potential for mankind!
- I listen to Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh and NPR.
- I have many "emergent" friends but read Lew Rockwell too.
- We attend a Nazarene church, a Church of Christ expats church, and I love Eastern Orthodox theology.
- I've been called "conservative" because we homeschool our kids but "liberal" because I have tattoos.
- I smoke premium cigars...usually you can find me once a week at The Wharf in Beavercreek, but also work out almost every morning at Urban Active.
- I am a liberal because I have cool tattoos but a conservative because I can translate from the Greek New Testament.
