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?

[rabscuttle385]

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.

The Money, Banking, and Financial Markets Ping List.

FR Keyword: moneylist

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

To join, send Freepmail to rabscuttle385.

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.

[An American!]

hmmm......... Interesting idea ....might take you up on it.

[old curmudgeon]

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.

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

[PleaseNoMore]

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.

[Centurion2000]

Screw the tea bags .... send a brass casing.

[KoRn]

Great idea!!!

[Kudsman]

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! :-)

[DTogo]

reminding them that we can still organize and overthrow the lot of them, if we have but enough courage, cunning, bushes, and ammo!

bushes?

[skr]

Not quite as graphic but less FBI-attracting, how about postcards with pictures of tea bags on both sides?

[tacticalogic]

Tea, or necktie?

[DTogo]

[donnab]

I am in. As a matter of fact I am going to go buy PG Tips which is a British tea bag. grins.

[mombyprofession]

Fantastic idea. Maybe I’ll pick up some Lipton tomorrow.

[Kudsman]

Oh. Nevermind. I found it on the activity tab. Sorry learning to navigate again. Changes. Arrrgh.

Send something a little bit more potent. A receipt showing how you just took all your money out of the stock market and banks and put it into Treasury securities.....its called a flight to quality.

Time has arrived

Take YOUR money from THE BANKS
before
THE BANKS take your money from you.
25 FORD GMC ..wasn’t enough, need more
30 BEAR .....wasn’t enough, need more
85 AIG .....wasn’t enough, need more
200 FANNIES...wasn’t enough, need more
770 WHO?...... Nobody is asking:Will that be enough....bacause it won’t be. It is Treason.

No one will punish wallstreet unless we Americans do it. They need to be made responsible for their actions.

The democrats should be held accountable also. When the GOP took over Congress the DOW shot up. In 2006 the demonrats took over and look what we get.

Im all for a Run on the banks before the banks run over US.
