If you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, reader Mark Christopher Frimmel has come forward to put a Tea Party ‘09 event together. He put up an ad on Dallas Craigslist, has contacted local radio and TV, and wants you to be there. The protest will be held on the outside stage at The Cowtown Bar & Grill on Friday, Feb. 27, from 3pm to 7pm, located at 7108 Camp Bowie Blvd Fort Worth, TX. Music, food, and great fiscal conservative company guaranteed.

Anyone have sign ideas? I have some but I want them to be effective, clever and/or PG.

There is a whole thread on sign ideas here:

Thought we might all want to arm ourselves with some hard facts. We might all want to contribute our talking point finds here in the thread and print them out for our ‘Tea party’

Here are a few I found this morning..will look for more later. Please ping the Texas list, so that everyone can start contributing good ‘talking points’. We can probably find alot of them at the GOP and The house republican website too.

Talking point links(in the event any media shows up)

It’s not really meant to be “cloak and dagger.” It’s more of an instant recognition sort of thing - an easy (and inexpensive) way to quickly recognize fellow FReepers and assemble (if you want) with like-minded folks you may already know online.

With all due respect, a tea party is best not held at a beer garden on a friday afternoon. A wonderful opportunity to meet with like minded Freeps, yes. A serious,political, in your face political rally will not be "in your face" at an out of the way place. Granted we are not able to mobilize like the unemployed street urchins we see on a day to day basis, but we can work around our productive employment hours and have impact.

Impact is not at a bar on a friday. I humbly suggest Victory Plaza, which just happens to be outside the news studios of ABC Channel 8 news and their beautiful glass set. It would be obvious to all on whatever said day to avoid a mass of Righteous protestors when they are 10 feet from the main set of your evening news broadcast. We need to put this where the MSM can't avoid it. Power to the people!!!!

Hey, I agree. I think Dallas should be hosting one TOO (not instead). I’m having to drive way out to Ft. Worth for this, and I wish someone would organize one in downtown Dallas, during lunch hour, so no one would have to take off from work, people could ride the train down from their offices along Central, etc. Why don’t you see if you can put that together between now and Friday? I’ve got too much on my plate already.

FYI. There is another protest in Dallas tomorrow as well as the one in ft.worth. The Dallas one is scheduled at 11am at victory plaza. I am thinking of attending. Any other Dallas creepers who want to go please pm me. Mark davis is supposedly going to be at this one. Both protests were announced just now on snap radio when I was listening to rush
