I think this is a watershed moment (pun intended) for the New Tea Party movement. It is the very essence of this protest that it demonstrates that the people are fed up with government micromanagement of every molecule of our affairs, imposing paralyzing (and often stupid) restrictions on our liberties and levying confiscatory taxes, needless to say, without real representation.

If I was there, or if I had any influence with the people who will attend, I would definitely bring a tea bag (just one) and ask everyone else to do so also. Then, I would say we should definitely throw the teabags in the water and take the consequences. If it is a large group, a mass arrest would force media attention on the protest and the stupidity and heavy bootheel of this idiotic ban on the teabags and I think the authorities would be forced to withdraw any enforcement.

Go Tea Party!!

If tea is a pollutant, I would have been dead a long time ago.

I drink a gallon of tea everyday. :^P

Next they’ll be telling us that our chains come only in shiny stainless steel.

What a joke. In the Obammunists hometown of Chicago, they dump green dye into the river, on St. Patricks day, to DISCOLOR it from one color of green to another.

I remember reading somewhere years ago that there'd never be a revolution in Germany because all the government would have to do is put up "Keep Off the Grass" signs and the Germans would screech to a halt in the middle of their storming.

It'd work here in a heartbeat too.

Do it anyway...and show up wearing a symbolic “Empty Holster” as well.

A little Civil Disobediance goes a long way to get a point across.

"So, who gets fined every fall when the autumnal waste (leaves) discolors the water?"

I guess we;ll have to sue Gaea, And since the UN is responsible for all the Gaea worshiping, are founders of the whole Gaea "living mother earth" concept, the UN will have to pay the fine for not properly instructing and controlling Gaea to not pollute the water. Fish crap in the water too, so that can't be good. So do seals, pelicans etc. Guess we'll have to sue greenpeace and all those other ani,al activist groups for not picking up the crap the animals they allow to overpopulate put in the water.

I'm thinking somebody doesn't quite get the point of this sort of tea party. It's probably illegal to impersonate Native Americans, too, especially if you use eagle feathers.

Dump the tea. Anyone objecting had better know how to swim.

“In the Obammunists hometown of Chicago, they dump green dye into the river, on St. Patricks day”

Haven’t you figured out by now that laws simply no longer apply to Democrats, ESPECIALLY elected ones, and MOST ESPECIALLY Democrats from CHICAGO???

Just go to the site of a RAT get-together and pick up all the trash they leave on the ground and throw it in the river.

So by the logic displayed by the State of Iowa, every cup of coffee is a violation of the SDWA (discolored with an oily sheen).

That ruling won’t hold up in court. Dump away, Free-Iowans!

They actually get a permit from the MWRD to do this.

I went to Chicago on business about a week after St. Patrick's Day one year long ago and had no idea why the river was that color - it wasn't exactly green anymore and wasn't exactly brown - looked kind of like antifreeze mixed with old motor oil. I thought there was something dreadfully wrong with that water until someone told me about the dyeing thing.

“Don’t do that!”

Kinda obviates the whole protest thing, no? Maybe somebody shouldn’t have spilled the beans about spilling the tea.
