Some un-asked for practical advice for Tea Party folks.


Since I temporarily have some people’s attention:

  • If you are a website design-type person: now would be an excellent time to either promote the site that you have designed to act as a national clearinghouse for upcoming Tea Parties, or to actually sit down and design one. I suggest something lean, stripped-down, has an easy-to-remember link, and designed to let people easily post their own locations and contact information.
  • If you are a deep-pockets conservative/Republican looking to fund something: here you go. Won’t cost you much to fund the above suggestion, and it’d be frankly a help. Alternatively, you could bankroll a local Tea Party group; that’s even cheaper at this stage (donuts, coffee, and megaphones).
  • If you are a non-nasty candidate for any office, or a staffer for same, or a campaign manager for same: get yourself and your candidate to the next one of these. Bring a megaphone. Have your candidate tell the crowd that he/she is just as tired of this as they are. (This advice also works for people already in office.)
  • If you are just a regular person: first, I apologize for the ‘just;’ elitist of me, and we’ve had quite enough of that lately. Second, go find a local Tea Party group. If you happen to know how to run an office, organize a meeting, or coordinate things over the phone, please find a local Tea Party group now.

I think that this should cover it – oh, yes, almost forgot: megaphones. Twenty bucks. Good for when you forget the bullhorns.

Tea Parties are good way to enlist conservative Democrats in the cause

They may not be willing to identify too closely with the GOP but share our disgust for the policies of Obama/Pelosi/Reid and will be more comfortable in an alliance in a non-partisan protest group.

Tea Party Attire would help too

I recommend an original approach:

I got the idea from my Dad who use to be on reenactments of Revolutionary War battles. He still has his full Minuteman outfit.

I don’t recommend one of those, but the hat is fitting.
