Maybe I am just too tired of listening to all the blather coming over the cables today. I do not know what else we could do to get the attention of these bozos elected by "we, the people".
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?

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. Bump!
Except, instead of sending them to all 435 reps and 100 senators, I may just send them to my own.

Well, I don’t know if this is historically analogous, given that we technically have “representation.” How about we hit them with calm reason?

The first thing that will happen is that the tea bags will set off the alarm in some dufus security person's “brain” (and I use the word “brain” with some reluctance).
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.
To: Tublecane
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.

Exactly. It's not wise to mail anything containing a powerdery substance.
Mail a picture of a tea bag instead. Better yet, mail an artist's rendition of the Boston Tea Party.

I don’t know, sending teabags to Barney Franks may be misconstrued.

Better yet, mail an artist's rendition of the Boston Tea Party. 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.

Silent protest my butt. We've been silent too long.
...reminding them that we can still organize and overthrow the lot of them
This is exactly what I'd like to see done.
