I am heading to do the weekly marketing tomorrow, and I am going to buy a box of tea bags.
I am calling on all true Freepers to go get a box of tea bags, and start mailing them, one by one, to every member of congress.
Perhaps this kind of silent protest will let these idiots know that we are fed up with the nonsense going on there, and that we are the employer, and not the fat cat lobbyists, Wall Street players, union bosses, and assorted envirowhackies, feminazis, and codepinkers.
Zillions of tea bags, reminding them that we can still organize and overthrow the lot of them, if we have but enough courage, cunning, bushes, and ammo!
If this has been tried before, forgive me, treat me kindly, and pat my doddering ol' grey head. I want to save our republic for my grandchildren, and have no other ideas to offer.
Are there any Acorn flavored tea bags?
Bump!
Except, instead of sending them to all 435 reps and 100 senators, I may just send them to my own.

This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

Well, I don’t know if this is historically analogous, given that we technically have “representation.” How about we hit them with calm reason?
Is there any way to organize or promote this somehow?
It'll try your patience for sure.

So after the HASMAT squad shows up with their monkey suits, automatic weapons and 100 TV news cameras, you will get a personal visit.
I hope you have your tooth brush packed.
You are right, of course. “Technically” we do have representation.
But, do we truly have it, in fact? We, the taxpayers?
It seems that all our representatives worry a whole lot more about transferring our hard-earned income to “those less fortunate”, and that includes Wall Street, AIG, Fannie and Freddie execs, and whatever corporations have the best lobbyists with the saddest stories of economic woes.
Massive grassroots campaign.
For this to catch on, you’d need the backing of the major blogs, who hopefully would get the attention of Rush and his contemporaries in talk radio.
Although, I bet Boortz would jump on this idea in a heartbeat.
This is a good idea. We need to do something like this.
Make sure you write “no bailout” on those packages.
I don’t know, sending teabags to Barney Franks may be misconstrued.
powerdery = powdery
Be careful about that one... You might be called a "racist!" Remember the big deal about how Snapple had slave traders on their labels? It was actually the "Boston Tea Party."

Hell, people should call the talk radio stations, Rush, Boortz, Hannity, etc. ALL OF THEM. Get the word out however you can.
Well, at this point in life, I am old enough not to give a polite darn. If you, the taxpayers, want to send me up the river for mailing in a tea bag, and pay all my bills for the rest of my life on this earth, fine with me.
I am worried enough about my beloved grandchildren’s’ future that spending my “sunset years” in prison seems a small sacrifice. I just wish other elders shared my concerns.
Don’t need a toothbrush, by the way. I am sure the .gov will be happy to provide me with one every 3 months at your expense.
...reminding them that we can still organize and overthrow the lot of them
This is exactly what I'd like to see done.
Screw the tea bags .... send a brass casing.
Great idea!!!
ROTFLMAO!!!!
And I mean that. Normally I lurk. Before I clicked your link, I leaned to wifey poo and said, “Okay, I’m game let’s see”. I read and ...........see above.
Done bump. You are a genius! :-)
