Need to do this late in the day on Friday or Saturday so we can all make it, the people that care are actually the ones working and paying for everything. Most of the O crowd didn’t work

In solidarity with all of you out there protesting, I have teabags taped to the entrance of my cubicle. That’s the best I could do considering I still have a job to do.

Regards,
SZ

‘Tampa Tea Party’ Pours Scorn On Stimulus Package

TAMPA - There were no tomahawk-wielding Colonials dumping boxes of English tea into the Hillsborough River, and fortunately, nobody was tarred and feathered.

But the protesters who gathered today on the steps of the federal courthouse in downtown to protest President Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill came with a message similar to their brethren 236 years ago: Take your tea and shove it.

“We wanted to let the people in Washington know how angry we are about the stimulus bill,” said John Hendricks, a Tampa-based consultant who organized the gathering.

Pick one Network at a time...send the others a press release...hit HQ and local affiliates at the same time...it could work...by the third or fourth, they will get smart, but...

Lexington, Concord...and Discovery Green: The Revolution Begins

Inspired by the “Chicago Tea Party” of CNBC fame, right-wingers from coast to coast gathered to protest, um, a bunch of stuff. Creeping socialism, Wall Street, arms control, liberals in general, freeloaders... You name it, these folks are pissed about it. About 300 people (by very rough estimate) turned out to Houston’s tea party, which is ongoing until two on the hill that faces the amphitheater stage in Discovery Green.

Some snarky jackass predicted on his “progressive” political blog that maybe 100 people would show up. Good job, St. Louis!

I was there. It was a great start and hopefully we can keep the enthusiasm and momentum going. I talked to several people and they all said it was the first time they had ever been to a protest like that.
