Chicago Tea Party
February 19, 2009 – 3:20 pmUPDATE: OPERATION TEA PARTY IS IN MOTION ALREADY:
What is the Tea Party about?
The nationwide Tea Parties are about creating national attention and stimulating awareness to the issues we face as a nation. Our teams are working together to awaken the people to be involved in the nationwide tea parties that include reenactment and tea dumping. Our members are doing other safe, legal and family friendly activities to designed to build a coalition of patriots that will help take our country back from the liberal agenda through information and creative activism.
Here is a poll, “Will You Join Santelli’s Tea Party?“
Dear Friends: Most of you have already seen the wonderful, passionate speech by Rick Santelli among the traders in Chicago today. He decries the way the Obama policies for mortgage support reward the “water drinkers” instead of those who carry the water. It is one of the most truly inspired speeches I have ever seen or heard, and well worth viewing if you value capitalism. I love how Santelli dismisses the traders are “putty in his hands”, but are real Americans who want to enjoy the fruits of their hard work.
There is a movement that has arisen to continue his protest by mailing tea bags to the White House and members of the US Congress. You can find the contact information here, here, and here. Personally, I am mailing bags to Obama, Specter, Snowe, Collins and the California Governor.
One note: Prepare tea bag packages with care or send empty tea bags. See suggestions here — sending tea bags is legal!
To give credit where do, here are some of the initiators of this little party:

It should be a 10 million + citizen march on D.C. with pitchforks, clubs, tar, feathers and rails. No democrat should excape the punishment and total banishment from government.

We need people to send USED tea bags to these clowns.
If you send new tea bags they’ll just use them and save money on the office budget and think you are a chump. Send them used tea bags , no sense sending them something they can actually use

Just write them on the inside of an empty box of tea.
Or send the boxtops, like you did when you were a kid and there was actually something to send away for.

Isn’t there going to be a protest in three cities ? where we can dump tea ??
I like Scrapiron’s idea….pitchforks as symbolism is a great idea.
Keep this site up ! I just found it.
does everyone here belong to the “The Patriotic RESISTANCE” site ?
if not you should join immediately and coordinate with your state groups. (grassfire)

Why are obstructionist Republicans and fake Conservatives organizing these “Tea Parties”? Because they low information voters and are being duped by the likes of Beck and Hannity. TAX THE RICH is what I say! Roll Back the Reagan Tax cuts! Roll back the Bush Tax cuts!

where was this fake outrage when we, America, were lied into a $12 billion dollar a month war, costing thousands of innocent lives?
CPT reply on April 13th, 2009 2:01 pm:
What lies? Please DO be specific. Trolling for outrage won’t prosper here as most of this network OPPOSED the Iraq War from its inception. I would love to gauge the level of factual knowledge you have sometime. Your 2 comments display nothing but leftist parroting of collectivist ignorance. You are undoubtedly a nice and well meaning person simply struggling with gross ignorance and an unwillingness to seek comprehensive factual data to form your political opinions from.

The people organizing the Tea Parties are a cross-section of mainstream Americans who understand the enumerated powers of the Federal government. A grass-roots non-partisan collection of Patriots who are disgusted by the Federal Government’s denizens arrogance and total disregard for Constitutional Government and individual liberty.
