They want a Tea Party? Lets give it to them...
Dear Friends,
There's a storm abrewin'. What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet? Washington has forgotten they work for us. We don't work for them.Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a plan. I am sick of Congress raking CEO's over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their taxes. I am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my dollar. I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that, knowingly, bought more house than they could afford. I am sick of being made to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes. I, like all of you, am a responsible citizen. I pay my taxes. I live on a budget and I don't ask someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make. I have emailed my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as it was written without reading it first. No one listened. They voted for it, pork and all.
O.K. folks, here it is.. You may think you are just one voice and what you think won't make a difference. Well, yes it will and YES, WE CAN!! If you are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is handling our taxes. If you are fearful of the fallout from the wreckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need to become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME IN AMERICA. There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens. What is being done in Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free fall.
So, here's the plan. On April 1, 2009, all Americans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washington , D.C. You do not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire. Just a TEABAG. Many cities are organizing protests.. If you simply search, "New American Tea Party", several sites will come up. If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard with a TEABAG. Your one voice will become a roar when
joined with millions of others that feel the same way. Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of confidence as shown by the steady decline in the stock market speaks volumes.
This was not my idea. I visited the sites of the 'New American Tea Pary' and an online survey showed over 90% of thousands said they would send the teabag on April 1. Why, April 1?? We want them to reach Washington by April 15. Will you do it? I will. Send it to;
1600 Pennsylvania
Ave. Washington , D.C. 20500 ..
Forward this to everyone in your address book. Visit the website below for more information about the 'New American Tea Party'. I would encourage everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to mail, then just drop it in the mail April 1. Can't guarantee what the postage will be by then, it is going up as we speak, but have your envelope ready. What will this cost you? A little time and a 40 something cent stamp.
What could you receive in benefits? Maybe, just maybe, our elected officials will start to listen to the people. Take out the Pork. Tell us how the money is being spent. We want TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Remember, the money will be spent over the next 4-5 years. It is not too late.
Of course, if you agree with the way things are being done now, just delete!!!!!





















I just sent this to all my email
contacts. Can you imagine how great this will be. Please keep bumping this, and send it to all of your contacts. Let's show em we are a knockin.

Just venturing a guess here
I doubt this will be the first time that many of our representatives have been tea bagged.
Write 'em a ticket while you're at it.

Stealing our thunder.
I think now that the neo-cons are emulating Ron Paul support strategy, I fear the symbolism of tea bagging our representatives has gone the way of the fad and has effectively stolen our thunder. Time for something new.
Here's some ideas:
1. Bring buckets instead of tea bags and write you're own personal sarcastic messages on them like "Wallstreet Bailout Brigade." You could even turn them upside down, cut holes for your eyes and ware them on your heads so the government would have a harder time identifying you for updating your FBI files.
2. Paint a big fat piggy face on the Ron Paul blimp and fly it over Wall Street and Congress.
You get the idea.
Or as Ron Paul supporters we collectively...
Spend a bit extra and package the tea bags in refrigerator boxes full of packing peanuts with a single tea bag to demonstrate that taxation without representation is a BIG deal. Can you imagine 500,000 refrigerator boxes showing up at the congressional offices, would be hard to keep the media out of that one when boxes had to be lined up for 3 blocks... That would be one heck of a peaceful protest…
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

Stay IRATE, remain TIRELESS, and set those BRUSH FIRES everywhere you go and in all you do!
It's a good idea but the tea
It's a good idea but the tea bags will just be screened before the actually reach the white house.
Now, if you send tea bags to every representative in the country with a message explaining what it is about, then you will start something impressive.

I think the tea bag
needs to be taped to a brick and sent airmail. LOL

We just have to be smarter
We just have to be smarter than they are. They could easily say anthrax was put in one of the tea bags sent in by a Ron Paul supporter. I'm not saying that is going to happen, but we just have to be careful on how we deliver our message.

I'll tell you right now
I am NOT smarter than them. I am dumb as dirt and they know it. They have thought of everything. This is a professional operation and it is going very well for them, unfortunately.
