Support your LOCAL tea party. LOCAL! LOCAL!

They are your neighbors and friends and members of your community. Stay away from the national orgs who DARE to speak for the “tea party.”

Every time I hear that someone is interviewing a “national tea party spokesman” or “national tea party leader” I want to puke. What is it about the words “grass roots” that they don’t get. If they really believed in the movement they would all fade from the scene.

WE DO NOT NEED THEM. They are no smarter than you or I, and have no right to speak for anybody but themselves. Yet somehow, they never make that clear - any of them.

I don't think there are many of us further than a few miles from an active local group.

It's got to be more than a read about it talk about it effort, the movement needs boots on the ground, full time, as much as is possible effort.

The marxist machine is in high gear and rolling, right this minute!

Just a few short days ago they moved in on Jacksonville Florida, community organizers from all over the place, and as a result Jacksonville now has a liberal democrat mayor.

First Coast Tea Party folks fought tooth and nail against them but needed more troops.

Jacksonville and many other cities will be on the way to Detroit, if we don't put an end to the leftward slide.
