Probably something similar to the Cincinnati Tea Party...

How about Charleston - I'd love to go.
I'm sending my tea bag or at least a label.

FYI It's about people all over America organizing Tea Party Rallies to protest Obama's tax proposals, Cap and Trade energy bill, etc. New American Tea Party

There is actually 2 things going on -
1. the Tea Party Rallies
2. People are asked to send a teabag to Obama and their state reps on April 1st (in time to arrive for April 15). Someone suggested sending a label may be better since the bags may be treated as a security risk.

Maybe one of you can take the initiative to invite them to post in the forum.

Likewise, you might branch the invite to folks in sub-groups on meetup, i.e.,

A few youtubes are out there of February's, i.e.,

This is how it started in 1775...Socialism of the English...and heavy taxation to keep the louts in line.

When it ended up those louts had built a country...

There's a post in the Political section of City Data that Montana talks of seceding cuz of gun rights.
Resounds of our many fun posts on this forum. People are really getting fed up. It's so frustrating to feel you have no voice.

Hope everyone joins in a Tea Party in their area (or come to Chas).
