The Revolution Goes Global: Strasbourg (France) Tea Party

282 Words on the Movement in Europe

By Allan Stevo

The trans-Atlantic connections between the US and Europe are strong. So strong that a movement in one is often noticed in the other and even, at times, a movement in one builds into a movement in the other. The Atlantic divides us but our connections run deep. With pride in those connections, many Europeans have started a movement in favor of US presidential candidate Ron Paul and his ideas. The movement is recognized to be in support of Ron Paul, as well as in support of the many Americans backing our candidate (as can be seen for example in the case of this poster made by a German man in Munich:

Never, before has this happened in this magnitude to a non-yet-elected American presidential candidate. This Saturday and Sunday (December 15 and 16, 2007), the Strasbourg Tea Party will take place in Strasbourg, France, and will serve as the first Europe-wide gathering of Ron Paul supporters. The event will take place in order to galvanize the movement happening here, through face-to-face discussions, through networking, and by planning for this movement - a movement that has already become bigger than any one man. The word has not spread in the mainstream media here, the word has spread on the internet. To Americans reading this with personal contacts in Europe, I ask that you place a phone call across the ocean, or perhaps send an email - at the heart of that message I ask you to have "Go to Strasbourg to meet others, return home and recruit others." This will not be where the movement ends, but Strasbourg will be where the movement began.

I thank you most sincerely for your time.
