If you haven’t picked one yet, pick one. I’ll be at the DC affair. Erick and Jeff Eare helping set up Macon’s. [We're not the only front-pagers here doing these, and I'll put up the others as they sing out.] Take a couple of hours off, find a gathering that’s close, and go. If you never go to these things - but you’re also kind of mad at the way the government is throwing away your money - well, that’s sort of the point of you going.
And remember:
“First they ignore you…
…then they ridicule you…
…then they fight you…
…then you win.”
- M . Gandhi
We’re just getting into the third line now. This is where it starts getting serious, so if you were hoping for one big gesture let that hope die now so you’ll get over it not being around any more. The activist Left doesn’t like competition, and they think that they’re old hands at hijacking movements. So they will try to co-opt. They will try to disrupt. They will certainly try to incite. When they try, politely put a camera in their face and politely ask them what the hell they think that they’re doing. Ask them loudly, from the diaphragm*: it carries better that way, and the only thing that these people hate more than sunlight is sunlight and the interested gaze of a lot of people not inclined to humor them.
Always remember: you are what they want to be, and cannot be. Do not indulge their inferiority.

My family is attending the Fishkill, NY Tea Party
peg_c Wednesday, April 8th at 9:36AM EDT (link)at Duchess Stadium. My step-daughter is involved in the planning (Mark Levin, then Atlas Shrugged, and now Friedrich Hayek have turned her into a huge conservative activist) . If anyone on RS is in Hudson Valley and plans to attend, it would be super to meet up.
Government cannot be the solution when government is the problem.

It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

Chicago will have an ACTUAL Tea Party on tall ship at Navy Pier
chiguy76 Wednesday, April 8th at 12:15PM EDT (link)Chicago has two Tea Parties, one organized during the day with Dan Proft, a local political commentator who is going to announce his run for governor at the protest on Daley Plaza, and then at 430pm the real Tea Party starts on Lake Michigan at Navy Pier — where they will have a real tall ship in the harbor from 430pm - 9pm at Navy Pier by the Billy Goat Tavern. They’re going to recreate the Boston Tea Party in Chicago.
I haven’t heard of another city having an ACTUAL Tea Party on a body of water in an old fashioned ship before.

Gonna be in DC
red4ever Wednesday, April 8th at 4:47PM EDT (link)Looking forward to my first DC protest.
Cavuto just had some bimbo on who declared the Tea Parties are not worthy of coverage because we are protesting acts of our legally elected government. Apparently, the protests of the last 8 years were not worthy of coverage then either.
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
