Tea Parties were weak today 7/4

first person I had contact with greeted me with "Hey fellow 912er". Wrong and I squared him right away on that exposing Beck for hijacking our movement. He didn't like it too much but couldn't refute it.

And yeah it was weak, only 5 from our Meetup group showed to saturate the crowd (200+) with dvds plus fliers on 1207 and mon the 6th phone bomb to stop the Cap&Tax bill. Got to talk to quite a few people though and overall was worth driving there. Had a couple of responses that made my day and also made a couple of good contacts.

I attended my Tea Party in Las Vegas and saw the same thing you did.
Boobus Americanus waiving flags. The RP force was not there.

It is adults who give into peer pressure 'left' and 'right'.

Vince Lombari said, "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." In my opinion, financial dependence (debt) and relationship dependence makes people more cowardly than anything.

People who have no debt and owned your cars and house take less shit off of people...and they are less likely to just go along with the moron/bullies at work.

But the people who have the wit and power to dominate relationships (not just managers) are very slow to give into peer pressure.

And since most adults are in debt and have little personal power, they give into peer pressure a LOT to keep their jobs, to avoid being humiliated by some family member, friend, manager, or loud mouth on the job.

That is why I say we won't get anywhere until we empower ourselves economically, and more importantly, via wit. We need to invest a large amount of time 'shadow boxing' conversations, where you have debates in your head, rehearse answers, etc. Then practice, practice, practice in real life. And I don't mean to get in people's grill (but that make be a valid tactic), but to learn a variety of discussion tactics and learn when to use which tactic.

We have gone pretty much as far as we can with flyers and donations. Even in we get our own media, we can't get much further without some real debate skill improvement in our base.

was really good. There were a few thousand people there and the atmosphere was very positive. You could tell people genuinely enjoyed being there-it was a lot like a party. There were a lot of volunteers and everything was set up really nicely. There was face painting, pinatas, and local food vendors as well as live music and a great staging area. Me and a friend handed out a few hundred Freedom to Fascism DVDs and 99.9% of people were very receptive. I would suggest to get involved with your local Tea Party if you haven't yet. I have gotten to know a lot of really great people there and have been able to introduce them to things like 9/11 truth and Ron Paul as a result. Everyone there was against the federal reserve and big government too.

that is all that matters. We can no longer hope for others to aid us in our fight. We can only now look at ourselves because the fight is on many fronts, and many faces. You can only pick a focus and go for it, because it has surrounded us, so let's hope that you converted even just one, that will hopefully convert many to the message of liberty. You did a great job, if it were not for you there would have been none. Keep up the great work, and watch your own back because there maybe noone to watch it for you for now. Be a leader, even if it means being by yourself.

Our town has a 4th of July Celebration so many people were in our town of under 2,000 residents. However, I know many people were also camping with family or visiting relatives out of town.
I had people from 30 miles away drive there just to sign the petitions and go home. We were kept busy all day getting signatures at our table, and the most impressive fact is that we had to explain very little. These folks know about Audit the Fed and Cap and Trade!
Many people expressed their thanks to us for having the Tea Party.

showed up outside of Seattle,but it was a good bunch.I let them
all know that I was a Paul supporter and told them about Campaign For Liberty.2 said they wanted to join.My sign read-audit the Fed,support
HR1207.Most people knew about the bill and agreed.There were a lot of signs against Cap and Trade.

Many people celebrate with their families on this day. Some times it is not bad idea idea to forget where you for a day and remember where you came from so you can get energized.
