What to Bring:
We are asking everyone to bring signs and people. We expect to have some media coverage

We will be bringing the tea bags that were “dumped” during the March 15th event to also present
to City
Hall as a symbol of how our government is not responsibly representing the views of the people.

Parking Information
Parking may be limited due to day and time,
however there should be parking available in various locations downtown.
Fountain Square garage is directly below.
Vine Street will be blocked at the beginning of the parade so be sure to arrive early.
We will be marching to City Hall located on Plum Street which is a few blocks north and
west of Fountain Square so another spot to consider is the Cincinnati Convention Center
Parking Garage.

Mike Wilson

|
Mike Wilson is a concerned citizen and taxpayer who decided it was time to step forward and get involved. Mike has followed
politics and economics as a hobby, but has no prior political experience. As his friends and family can attest, Mike is a strong
advocate for conservative principles.
Mike believes that hardworking, fiscally responsible Americans are still a majority in this country, but previously have been
too busy taking care of business to get involved and make their voices heard. He is proud of those that are choosing to stand
with us to work to restore sanity to our federal government.
Mike is a manager with a local IT services company that competes in the free market on a daily basis. They are a small business
that succeeds or fails based only on their merits and doesn't ask for government favoritism at the expense of others.
Mike is a lifelong Cincinnatian and is married to Joni, his wife of 12 years. He has three wonderful children
that are 8, 6, and 4. He founded the Cincinnati Tea Party to help ensure
that they have the same opportunities that he had. He is looking forward to meeting many of you at the rally on April 15th.

We would like to introduce to you Mr. Greg Knox.
Greg Knox is the owner of Knox Machinery Incorporated in Franklin Ohio.
Since founding the business in 1996, Greg has grown his firm into one of Southern Ohio’s
leading providers of high tech metal cutting machine tools and accessories, offering complete
“one stop shopping” for local metal cutting parts manufacturers of all sizes.
Along with Margie, his beautiful bride of 19 years, the Knox’s are raising a bountiful
clan with 6 young children at home, which causes Greg to often refer to Knox Machinery
as his “70 hour a week side job”.
Greg is extremely active in the community – working closely with several local schools
in mentoring programs.
Greg is also a very active member of numerous associations, all of which are committed
to protecting US manufacturing for the purpose of creating long term real sustainable
wealth in this country as well as protecting our National security.
Greg received a letter from the President of General Motors telling him that they
expected their suppliers to let their politicians know that they backed the bailout,
and Greg’s no nonsense reply quickly became the hottest viral email in the country,
gaining him national acclaim. Greg has been featured on radio and television
stations across the nation, spreading his message calling for the United States
to return to the morals and principles that made it the greatest nation in the world.

Ray Warrick is a typical American. He grew up in very humble surroundings in Toledo, Ohio.
First, in his family to get a college education, he has what he considers to be a
typical business career that includes successes and failures. He has been a corporate
executive, a business owner, investor, business advisor and a non-profit volunteer.
Ray has also been an amazing payer of taxes. His life and experience in small and medium
size businesses (the backbone of our economy) has caused him to confront and overcome
intrusive government policies and predatory tax schemes, without complaining, in order
to still deliver products and services to the customers while profitably providing
opportunity for employees.
There are many people out there like Ray who dutifully perform their jobs and
commitments to family and community and rarely complain. Ray feels it is time for
more ordinary people to make some noise, voice some concern, and show where we stand.
