Some Tea Party activists are planning a protest, which they have dubbed a "National Day of Strike," for Jan. 20, the one-year anniversary of Barack Obama's inauguration. CNN reports that the strike grew out of a recent conference call conducted by conservative activist Allen Hardage, and that it will spotlight businesses that support Democratic politicians' "socialist agenda."Hardage said that the activists are "frustrated' that Congress is ignoring them, so they plan to respond by attacking lawmakers' contributors.
"We are exposing the agenda of some of the most widely known companies in America and letting the consumer decide," Hardage told Talking Points Memo. "If a corporation decides to jump into politics to the tune of millions of dollars, then they need to expect that they will alienate some of their customers."
