i will continue to be drinking my tea at home, just baked some biscotti earlier. i would like to support the economy by buying the finished product, but it's not good and the ones that were good the store doesn't stock anymore. i still enjoy my party.

Nice gugi!

I will be going to the one in Nashville, Tenn. hope to see you all there, or at least one somewhere.

I really wanted this to be a real grassroots campaign.. But like everything else, just another way to push lobbyist agendas...

From an outsiders pov, it is interesting to see that in US politics, one half of the voters is always doing its best to make sure that the winner fails, rather than to do everything they can to make it work.

No finger pointing btw. The dems did it under Bush, and now the reps do it under O'Bama.

And if you believe this, you probably believe that the liberals will sprinkle fairy dust (liberal speak for our tax dollars) on our problems and make them all go away.

Let me start by saying, The Tea Parties have nothing to do with partisan politics. Rep/dem makes no difference it's the federal process itself that's out of control.
The original tea party was about the government not listening to it's citizens,and the citizens having no recourse for injustices done them.
Is this one any differen't? No! The first bailout was rejected by the citizens and congress, a week later they were forced to pass it anyway, with added pork spending. Do you honestly think that the government represents You,Your family,and Your rights or freedoms? Did you have any say in the bailouts? Did you have any input in the federal phone tapping/tracking laws? Or for that matter the recent trend to give up freedom in the name of supposed safety? I didn't!
The fact is, for the last several years the federal government has done whatever the hell it wants,trampling on states rights and personal freedoms granted us by the constitution.I could easily post thousands of links demonstrating these facts,but rather than having you click a link and pick apart the information i would rather you research it yourself so that you know where the information comes from.Please don't take the word of talk show hosts,bloggers or lobbyist with their own personal agenda,It's common for some people to attach themselves to a movement,that doesn't mean they speak for or represent the movement itself.
Will the tea parties change the world tomorrow? No. What they will do is bring attention to the government,of the citizens disenfranchisement and make more citizens aware of the overwhelming corruption in our federal government.
I for one applaud their effort to retain the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,knowing the founding fathers warned of the dangers of centralized government usurping the rights of the citizens.It'sth noting that the founding fathers,who created this country would have been executed as traitors or terrorists had they been caught by the British government,and some were.
