If you sign up on our site and pledge to attend a Tea Party, you will receive updates regarding the main three Tea Parties (LA, Chicago, or Boston). If you want to attend a smaller Tea Party however you should get a Facebook or MeetUp account based on however the smaller event is being organized. Keep checking this map for new Tea Parties that are springing up around the country.
I am planning one for Columbus Ohio in the first week of April. Please contact me. Will be mailing tea bags to the White House and to the IRS to land on April 15th.
We need to get one here in the Twin Cities, we hosted the RNC without a hitch so this should be a piece of cake. Not to mention we have the most iconic river in the country (Mississippi) running right through our great cities.
Cincinnati has a Tea Party scheduled on March 15th, 2009 in downtown on Fountain Square from 3pm - 5pm. Check out the Facebook event below or email mike@CincinnatiTeaParty.org for more information.
am same as other indidviduals, would like to access tea party in Texas but I WILL NOT JOIN facebook as this is part of what we are battling against, being forced to conform, please take this to heart as a lot of us hold individual rights sacred. Will keep checking for info on local events. Have had all the “change” i can stand, people in this area (west Texas) are fighting mad about bailouts, giveaways and socialization of this country.
I’ve been mad as hell for years . In 2006 I tried to get everyone I know who votes to ” Throw the bums out ” . It doesn’t matter who is President if you still have a sit on the hands , do nothing congress . These are the people who need to go , all of them . Change? Until they are all gone there won’t be any change . Dems and Reps alike , party matters not , they need to go . 2010 revolution again .
I found it amazing that a White House Press Secretary would even consider trying to calm down a Chicago-Italian Mercantile Exchange trader. In my experience this type of individual, by definition, is always “caffeinated.” In fact, he has risen to his position and status in life, because he’s always charged up and ready to go at 110 percent all the time. The most important fact Gibbs missed is that Santelli is from Chicago. Gibbs, of all people, should know the extraordinary capabilities of people who hail from Chicago.
I would suggest that the Rea Parties all take place on the sam day the same time. It will have a much bigger effect if they see tens of thousands ( hopefully millions) protesting. small gaterings in various places will be very easy to ignore. i see this as something on the scale of the Mexican immigrant “demonstrations” last year. we need a million man march on DC in my opinion. †his is oly the start of bad times. Obama is planning to rearrange the entire structure of American society.
Willing to help organize one in Central Texas……
I am a small business owner and cannot believe what is taking place in this country right now. I have had enough and our few fiscal conservatives left in DC can’t do anything to stop this pork train! The rhinos helping drive it need to go…where is the RNC and why are they not cutting off the rhinos? “We the People” are the only hope our children have left.
I’d like to see one in Florida…in front of our governors mansion in honor of the embarrassing support that Charlie Crist gave for the stimulus bill. Any organizers out there?
I’m in for South Florida. My email address is sallyoboyle [AT] gmail [.] com (written that way so spambots don’t harvest the address). If you are interested in being a part of this and helping organize, email me. Leave your email address in your comment - otherwise people in your area can’t contact you.
I plan to post all the videos from the various tea parties on our site. we get approx. 100,000 page views per week so hopefully lots of folks will see them.
here we go!!!!! this movement will become a new political party— dems and rep– lookout-niether party is serving the people—- watch the immigration reform bill going thru house right now—here comes the rest of mexico — thanks to both partys
I want to go to and have MANY family members who want to attend Boston on July 4th. We are ready, willing and Able to do our patiotic duty. I can’t get on facebook. I need to let someone know in Boston a dozen of us are coming from western MA. THE TEA PARTY IS COMING!!! THE TEA PARTY IS COMING!!!!!!!
Is the one that is going to be held in Boston going to be on July 4, 2009? My family are planning to attend! I can’t get on facebook. Please let me know!
Fort Worth Texas Tea Party
Friday, February 27, 2009
Mark Frimmel is planning a rally from 3 to 7 p.m. at Cowtown Sports Bar & Grill, 7108 Camp Bowie Blvd. in Fort Worth. The 51-year-old Fort Worth resident said he’s heard from people across the state planning to attend.
I like the idea of having one BIG tea party all across the country on JULY 4th….we need one in AL where we could get people from FL and MS…we could even organize one at the beach in Gulf Shores because there will be lots of people there on July 4th!
I’d love to attend a tea party in the New York area but I don’t want to join Facebook. I have enough ID’s and passwords to contend with. Why can’t this website just keep a running list of them with the times and locations.
{please stay tuned…we will add a general list soon} - admin
Steve how can I find the “Daily Bail” I looked on line and it isn’t there. I need to see the pictures and film! I love it! The “hope and change” has finally really started!!!
I don’t like Facebook either. Please use another way to promote these tea parties or you will lose all the people that can’t log in to Facebook and do not want to register.
{you can also search for Tea Parties on http://www.Meetup.com, or contact organizers directly via the information they provide on their sites} - Admin
Are you kidding me you have to join Facebook to join this movement. All the adults would like to know if this is serious or are you just blowing off steam with your other facebook geeks.
{Please be patient as we have time to develop or system. You can join MeetUp.com to find local Tea Parties, contact organizers directly via the information they provide, or we will have additional ways to keep in contact soon. We have also been informed that the Facebook geeks are now serious.} -admin
Hurrah for someone with the guts to stand up and speak for all of us as Rick did! I am from Virginia and I am looking for a tea party in the Richmond area. I also had the tea bag mailing thought and believe that we should all do this along with Tony in Ohio, but I think we should mail one tea bag to each of our representatives as well. It would also be very appropriate for Nancy Polosi to personally receive one bag from every one in this great land! Go to Congress.org to quickly get the addresses for your senators and representative. Mail the tea bags by April 10 to be sure they arrive in time.
Speak with action! Buy tea bags and write (On April 1 send this to The White House) on the tag. Every where you go pass these out. Speak with action! (this is a good idea too know your history special tags with The Constitution,Quotes From The Founding Fathers and U.S. Flags ieS.1777-present Don’t Tread on Me)YOU MUST SPEAK WITH ACTION!
I am offended by those that think we are geeks, weirdo’s, etc., for being on Facebook. I have the ability to use the applications on who sees pictures I post, comments, etc. I have family and friends on it. Don’t be close minded, name calling is beneath us!
Something must be done regarding military pay, my grandson is a Marine, and help for those who return to the USA after combat. My family has been in the military since the Civil War.
I too am interested in a tea party in Columbus Ohio. We have a perfect venue with the Santa Maria and courts nearby the riverfront. There are several local colleges with strong conservative and fiscally responsible students that I’m sure would love to attend. I hope it happens.
I am an Air Force enlisted retiree, invonuntary retired from a manufacturing company in 2004 when my job was sent to Mexico. Who can get a job when he is 61 years old? I am on Social Security early so I have not missed any mortgage payments. Since I don’t work for wages any more,and was never in a union, we are not on The Chosen One’s list to be paid off for my vote, I won’t be getting a ‘bama check this spring. By the way, can anyone explain why I’m paying income tax on my social security? We are now primed for armed insurrection!
I’m concerned that the bulk of these tea parties are slated for July. Obviously it’s appropriate for us to speak out on our nation’s birthday, but we need to demonstrate now! How much more damage can Obama do between now and July, considering what he’s managed to do in the first 30 days?! Government needs to hear from us NOW.
For those of you in NY with no Facebook account, the Tea Party is scheduled from 6AM to 9PM on July 4, 2009 at the South Street Seaport, Pier 17.
You want to make a difference TOMORROW? Encourage everyone you know to immediately abandon your current political party and re-register as an Independent. Once the pollsters start seeing the numbers change.. things will happen.
George Washington warned all citizens what political parties would eventually do to the system. Excerpts from 1796 farewell speech….
“I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of a monarchical cast, patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.”
We just got wind of this and would love to help organize a tea party in WA state. Is there anyone that can give us help or knows of one already arranged.
As iconic as it is that the Tea Parties be on July 4th, aren’t there going to be a lot of people… out of town that day??? Doesn’t it make more sense to have it on a day when people are going to be at home and not on vacation?
South Carolina need to get busy. I would love to participate. I agree if every state Capitol had a tea party and one was held in Washington, DC all on the same day (July 4th Independence Day)then no matter what state you are visiting you could participate. Let the nation unite in one voice at one time. This is our country and our tax money we must ensure that it is spent our way.
Hey, for all of you in the Cincinnati area, there will be a Tea Party at Fountain Square on Saturday March 15 at 3:00 p.m. Here’s the website, where the organizers are requesting that you confirm attendance…
I hope you all have listened to the podcast on this site, it will get you fired up. I am so behind this movement. William K. you are right on the money. I am spreading this news to everyone I know. Me and all my family will be in Chicago on July 4th. Here’s to all my fellow patriots!!
Guys,
Don’t keep asking if one is going to happen in your area. MAKE IT HAPPEN. The one in Houston was organized in six days by regular working people.
It is essential to video your event since we won’t get press coverage. Here is footage from Houston. The second one is new and is interviews with protesters and event speakers.
We need one in Sacramento!!!! I understand that there’s 3 already in this state but it’s more significant to have it at the State Capitol building (or at least somewhere in the Capitol city). Please, someone with good organizational and leadership skills needs to step up please!!!
I just want to encourage everyone to attend the CHICAGO tea party… The other smaller ones are fine… BUT We need to have at least 300,000 people show up in CHICAGO… That is less than 0.1% of the American population. If we can not get that On the Fourth of July IN CHICAGO… If on our INDEPENDENCE DAY we can not even get 0.1% of our population to cancel their plans and come fight for freedom then our voice does not even deserve to be heard.
Believe it or not there are right thinking people in Northern California. I am one and I am a 5th generation Californian and my ancestors founded this country and signed the declaration of independence. We want a tea party in the San Francisco Bay area. Let me know if you are interested.
KB, can you imagine a tea party in SF???? I wince and chuckle at the thought….I think we should have it at Sacramento—it’s more appropriate and I think it can entice a lot more people to attend (Sadly, the crazy SFers could potentially scare some people off).
The Tea Party is a great idea but I am like so many of the other bloggers why wait until July 4 2009 OUR COUNTRY will be in the “tank” so we WILL have a “TOILET PARTY.” The likes of which “Joe the Plummmer” could not fix. I like the April 15th date we can organize that very quickly.”TAXACTION W/O REPRESENTATION IS A TRAVESTY. I am from Atlanta area so we could go to Savannah and have a tea party there. Please send feed back.
If you are in Maine, I have set up a meetup group to spread the word and to do a local tea party via mail and in Augusta. Please join our group so we can have a big crowd to peacefully protest Sen. Collins and Snowe and the other Representatives who voted for the porkulus bill.
I would love to have a TeaParty soon in Arizona. I noticed on the map that there aren’t any so far…Anyone out there in Arizona that wants to help/participate???
I plan on sailing into Boston on July 4th to protest
the destruction of my country! If what is happening in
Wash DC is allowed to continue, my country, which I have
always supported, served in the Army, paid my taxes,
.. done the right things… will disappear. Save the
country! If you have a boat? Join the fleet.. pass
this to other boat owners..
My husband and I are working to get to Boston from upstate NY!!!! I am grateful to all who show up and finally tell this administration and congress that we are fed up with the spending! We are fed up with illegal aliens flooding into this country and breaking our laws and we are not going to take it anymore! God bless all of us and God bless this wonderful country~
Columbus Georgia come on folks let’s “Tea up” the Chattahochee. We can dump the tea off the bridge. We can use Craigslist to organize at first. We will keep our Freedom and our Guns you can keep the change !!!
I am not very commputer literate so I don’t know how to get in touch with the people on this site in Sarasota Florida regarding a Tea Party. I heard listening to Michelle Malkin that there was a Grass Root movement to rally on April 15th against this Socialist Government. How can I contact people in my area to help and be there wherever there is?
There will be a tea party in Orlando, FL, on March 21, on Lake Eola at Thornton Park. For more info go to http://www.myAmericanism.com There was one last Friday, February 27 and there was good attendance considering it was organized only a few days before. There were over 100 people there. We carried signs and flags and had some speakers. It was a peaceful demonstration. It got news coverage.
We would like to start a caravan from Texas to Chicago…throw a little Texas “tea”….pick up people along the way and have a great “convoy” rolling into Chicago.
Anyone GAME???????
I’m looking to have a Tea Party in W.Pa Pittsburgh, Any info? I own a small advertising company. i want to donate my services to spread the message. Posters, Signs, Internet marketing the works! Its time the “tax payers” Stand up and unite. Instead of being the Governments whipping boy!
COME ON PEOPLE….GET THE MESSAGE OUT…FACEBOOK,MYSPACE,EMAIL,POSTERS,SIGNS ETC….the more the better of course…the july 4th events are the big ones. Visit michelle malkins website and she provides some good links with tea parties that are happening a lot earlier.
I want to support your efforts. However, I agree with previous comments. I do not wish to join Facebook in order to obtain information about planned tea parties.
I’m in Ohio between Columbus & Dayton. I’d love to get my family together to go to a tea party. July 4 is good for a national tea party, naturally, but another national tea party that can get attention without any distractions would be good too maybe before the 4th of July.
…..what needs to be done is have American patriots throw up a permanent picket line around Congress and the White House…bringing in the homeless and and the jobless and anyone else who wants to be there…because this is America…be there or be square……
In Pennsylvania our teaparties will go to peoples houses who are in foreclosure and on the day they are evicted take pictures of the freeloading losers and throw teabags at them. We love to teabag the losers! Take back america teabag those foreclosed losers.
For those of you chronic whiners who “just don’t want to join Facebook” in order to make a stand as a Patriot believing in this country’s founding principles, I say:
Lead, follow or get out of the way! Go home to your latest episode of American Idol.
I am grateful to all who show up and finally tell this administration and congress that we are fed up with the spending! We are fed up with illegal aliens flooding into this country and breaking our laws and we are not going to take it anymore! Let’s get this going in Phoenix Arizona…
We are having a tea party in Reading PA. We will we will be dumping tea on those losers who have lost their jobs and cant pay there mortgages. We hope all of you sign up to show these losers we mean business we need to have 100,000 people show up on 3/14 post here to sign up
Actual ‘Letter to the Editor’ from the
February 5th edition of the Wichita Falls, Texas Times
Record News…
Dear IRS,
I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.
I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate
income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax, fishing
license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and
county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city

utility tax, vehicle license registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax,
Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t
recall but I have run out of space and money.
When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.
P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.
There will be a Tampa Tea Party on April 15 @ the Federal Courthouse, downtown Tampa, 801 N Florida Avenue. For more info: http://www.meetup.com/tampa-tea-party. This will be our 2nd “Tea Party” @ the Courthouse, last one brought 5x more people than we expected!!! HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU THERE!
Hey my fellow Patriots in NYC, March 17th is Legislative Day in Albany. A group of us are going to surprise our legislators and send the day visiting them! We will let them know, WE THE PEOPLE are NOT going away, in fact we are getting larger in numbers. This is the way to get the message to our elected politicians THEY WORK FOR US. We voted some of them in and we can VOTE THEM OUT! This is how we get done! SACRIFICE OF TIME & MONEY! UNITED WE STAND!!!!
Hey my fellow Patriots, how come there was NO word of the TEA PARTY in Fullerton, CA which had 15,000 Americans and GROWING! Come on New Yorkers we have to represent, when is the next Tea Party? After all it ALL began out here!
Also, did any of you New Yorkers happen to see the defamation of 3 of our Sons of the Revolution at City Hall? Seems in the name of “art expression” paint was thrown over 3 of our Sons of the Revolution with the mayor’s blessings. Let me guess can anyone say “National Endowment of the Arts”? If I took paint and threw it all over the homosexual flag I would be labeled “hate crime”. WAKE UP FELLOW AMERICANS everything we stand for is being destroyed before our eyes.
[...] aid fellow patriots, ReTeaParty.com has provided a map and a forum to coordinate and link to all of those interested in organizing their own events. We [...]
There will be a tea party in Sacramento to protest the losers who have lost their jobs and have now chosen to live in tents instead of paying their mortgages. I heard that Rick Santelli will be leading the police assault on those losers. We will be dumping tea on them and helping move them to places under bridges and sewers where they belong. I haven’t lost my job, have you? Only losers lose jobs thats why it’s called losing a job.
I have just taken a lead role in planning an AUSTIN TEXAS TEA PARTY for JULY 4th! Please send me an email to
and I will update you as things progress. We plan on meeting at the So. Steps of The Capitol marching to City Hall and may finish with a BBQ event at Scholz Garten if we are able to raise enough support and financing!
FYI- There will be an April 15th event at the So. Steps of the Capitol marching to Town Lake to put tea in the river.
Please send me an email and let all your friends know and let’s make the Austin event a success- We are the Capitol of Texas and it must be better and bigger so we can be proud!
How about a march on every state capitol on April 15. Bring your tea bags with you. We can’t all get to DC, but are you willing to go to your own state capitol?
We need to do a Millon American March and peacefully storm the streets of DC. My visions is to rally enough troops from across America and it should like something similar to the Vietnam protests in the movie “Forest Gump” millions rallied and it will be very effective. This is the only way we are goint to get noticed. The biased main stream media is not covering all of your efforts because they are protecting their “messiah”, the teflon president! I am one outraged American tax payer. Thank you Rick, you are a great American but I am afraid that little pockets of people is not getting us anywhere. Millions need to march in DC. This is the only way to get our message out. Respectfully yours, OUTRAGED AMERICAN TAXPAYER

Provided always, and it is hereby further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That a due entry shall be made at the custom-house, of all such tea so exported by licence, as aforesaid, expressing the quantities thereof, at what time imported, and by what ship; and such tea shall be shipped for exportation by the proper officer for that purpose, and shall, in all other respects, not altered by this act, be liable to the same rules, regulations, restrictions, securities, penalties, and forfeitures, as tea penalties, &c. exported to the like places was liable to before the passing this act: and upon the proper officer’s duty, certifying the shipping of such tea to the collector and comptroller of his Majesty’s customs for the port of London, upon the back of the licence, and the exportation thereof, verified by the oath of the husband or agent for the said united company, to be wrote at the bottom of such certificate, and sworn before the said collector and comptroller of the customs, (which oath they are hereby impowered to administer,) it shall and may be lawful for such collector and comptroller to write off and discharge the quantity of tea so exported from the warrant of the respective ship in which such tea was imported.
VI. Provided nevertheless, That no such licence shall be granted, unless it shall first be made to appear to the satisfaction of the commissioners of his Majesty’s treasury, or any three or more of them, or the high treasurer for the time being, that at the time of taking out such teas, for the exportation of which licence or licences shall be granted, there will be left remaining in the warehouses of the said united company, a quantity of tea not less than ten millions of pounds weight; any thing herein, or in any other act of parliament, contained to the contrary thereof notwithstanding.
Of course in short it was a protest against a corporate tax break for large corporate interests.
You guys have outdone yourself here, you’ve turned it into a protest against helping those individual Americans in financial distress. Good idea…guess who you work for now…
How is it that there are no Environmentalists complaining that we are contaminating waterways with all the tea that has been and will be dumped into the waterways??
Everyone, please visit http://www.the912project.com–it is a grass roots movement very similar to this, based upon the founding principles and values of our great nation and the founding fathers, and supported by a well-known media figure who is going out on a limb. WE all need to unite together to save our country!
The first Cincinnati Tea Party was a huge success!!!
I attended yesterday with about 5,000 of my closest friends and a lineup of great speakers. Folks were jazzed up and ready to rumble. There were too many great signs to count. My personal fave said quite simply: “Tar. Feathers. Washington. NOW!!!” Amen, brother!
They should be posting photos from the event fairly soon at cincinnatiteaparty.org. Go check them out. Also, on April 15 there will be Tax Day protests in over 100 cities around the country. Find the one nearest you at taxdayteaparty.com.
Most of the facebook tea party sites I have seen have been public, so you can participate in them without signing up. Also check out http://www.meetup.com for more tea parties and 912 project meetings.
Of course register here too, but there is lot of tea party/912 project stuff going on that is not going through here so check them all out.
don't bother sending the tea bags to any government office. i've been assured they'll end up in the circular file. all mail to government office goes thru a clearing house.
I was told to open the tea bag and put the loose leaves in the envelope, I still think it is a good idea to send them, overwhelm them with the tea it will still make a statement.
i am building a site that will allow user to create there own events and other users can choose to attend, No rules, No facebook. None the the personal information will be used or disclosed to anyone…..
Please be careful when attending the Tea Parties. I have read on other blogs that ACORN will be attending and requesting people to sign a document. Not really sure what kind of sale's pitch they are making but make sure that everyone knows to NOT sign anything. Please fellow Americas, please beware.
not only that but its a waste of perfectly good tea. we all know you are upset, why not just wait 8 years until the repubs are back in the oval - we had to. seriously, get over it.
11 TRILLION dollars in new spending is a perfect waste of taxpayer money. Get a job, get a paycheck, and see how much money you are surrenduring in taxes.Then you can help pay off the losers' mortgages.

I found it amazing that a White House Press Secretary would even consider trying to calm down a Chicago-Italian Mercantile Exchange trader. In my experience this type of individual, by definition, is always “caffeinated.” In fact, he has risen to his position and status in life, because he’s always charged up and ready to go at 110 percent all the time. The most important fact Gibbs missed is that Santelli is from Chicago. Gibbs, of all people, should know the extraordinary capabilities of people who hail from Chicago.

I would suggest that the Rea Parties all take place on the sam day the same time. It will have a much bigger effect if they see tens of thousands ( hopefully millions) protesting. small gaterings in various places will be very easy to ignore. i see this as something on the scale of the Mexican immigrant “demonstrations” last year. we need a million man march on DC in my opinion. †his is oly the start of bad times. Obama is planning to rearrange the entire structure of American society.

I also had the tea bag mailing thought and believe that we should all do this along with Tony in Ohio, but I think we should mail one tea bag to each of our representatives as well. It would also be very appropriate for Nancy Polosi to personally receive one bag from every one in this great land! Go to Congress.org to quickly get the addresses for your senators and representative. Mail the tea bags by April 10 to be sure they arrive in time.

You want to make a difference TOMORROW? Encourage everyone you know to immediately abandon your current political party and re-register as an Independent. Once the pollsters start seeing the numbers change.. things will happen.
George Washington warned all citizens what political parties would eventually do to the system. Excerpts from 1796 farewell speech….
“I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of a monarchical cast, patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.”

KB, can you imagine a tea party in SF???? I wince and chuckle at the thought….I think we should have it at Sacramento—it’s more appropriate and I think it can entice a lot more people to attend (Sadly, the crazy SFers could potentially scare some people off).

The Tea Party is a great idea but I am like so many of the other bloggers why wait until July 4 2009 OUR COUNTRY will be in the “tank” so we WILL have a “TOILET PARTY.” The likes of which “Joe the Plummmer” could not fix. I like the April 15th date we can organize that very quickly.”TAXACTION W/O REPRESENTATION IS A TRAVESTY. I am from Atlanta area so we could go to Savannah and have a tea party there.

Send to IRS with your tax payment
Actual ‘Letter to the Editor’ from the
February 5th edition of the Wichita Falls, Texas Times
Record News…
Dear IRS,
I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.
I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate
income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax, fishing
license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and
county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city
sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax,
telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax,
utility tax, vehicle license registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax,
Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t
recall but I have run out of space and money.
When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.
P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

Also, did any of you New Yorkers happen to see the defamation of 3 of our Sons of the Revolution at City Hall? Seems in the name of “art expression” paint was thrown over 3 of our Sons of the Revolution with the mayor’s blessings. Let me guess can anyone say “National Endowment of the Arts”?

An act to allow a drawback of the duties of customs on the exportation of tea to any of his Majesty’s colonies or plantations in America; to increase the deposit on bohea tea to be sold at the India Company’s sales; and to impower the commissioners of the treasury to grant licences to the East India Company to export tea duty-free.
WHEREAS by an act, made in the twelfth year of his present Majesty’s reign, (intituled, An act for granting a drawback of part of the customs upon the exportation of tea to Ireland, and the British dominions in America; for altering the drawback upon foreign sugars exported from Great Britain to Ireland; for continuing the bounty on the exportation of British-made cordage; for allowing the importation of rice from the British plantations into the ports of Bristol, Liverpoole, Lancaster, and Whitehaven, for immediate exportation to foreign parts; and to impower the chief magistrate of any corporation to administer the oath, and grant the certificate required by law, upon the removal of certain goods to London, which have been sent into the country for sale;) it is amongst other things, enacted, That for and during the space of five years, to be computed from and after the fifth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-two, there shall be drawn back and allowed for all teas which shall be sold after the said fifth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-two, at the publick sale of the united company of merchants of England trading to the East Indies, or which after that time shall be imported, by licence, in pursuance of the said therein and hereinafter mentioned act, made in the eighteenth year of the reign of his late majesty King George the Second, and which shall be exported from this kingdom, as merchandise, to Ireland, or any of the British colonies or plantations in America, three-fifth parts of the several duties of customs which were paid upon the importation of such teas; which drawback or allowance, with respect to such teas as shall be exported to Ireland, shall be made to the exporter, in such manner, and under such rules, regulations, securities, penalties, and forfeitures, as any drawback or allowance was then payable, out of the duty of customs upon the exportation of foreign goods to Ireland; and with respect to such teas as shall be exported to the British colonies and plantations in America, the said dreawback or allowance shall be made in such manner, and under such rules, regulations, penalties, and forfeitures, as any drawback or allowance payable out of the duty of customs upon foreign goods exported to foreign parts, was could, or might be made, before the passing of the said act of the twelfth year of his present Majesty’s reign, (except in such cases as are otherwise therein provided for:) and whereas it may tend to the benefit and advantage of the trade of the said united company of merchants of England trading to the East Indies, if the allowance of the drawback of the duties of customs upon all teas sold at the publick sales of the said united company, after the tenth day of May, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-three, and which shall be exported from this kingdom, as merchandise, to any of the British colonies or plantations in America, were to extend to the whole of the said duties of customs payable upon the importation of such teas; may it therefore please your Majesty that it may be enacted; and be it enacted by the King’s most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That there shall be drawn back and allowed for all teas, which, from and after the tenth day of May, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-three, shall be sold at the publick sales of the said united company, or which shall be imported by licence, in pursuance of the said act made in the eighteenth year of the reign of his late majesty King George the Second, and which shall, at any time hereafter, be exported from this kingdom, as merchandise, to any of the British colonies or plantations in America, the whole of the duties of customs payable upon the importation of such teas; which drawback or allowance shall be made to the exporter in such manner, and under such rules, regulations, and securities, and subject to the like penalties and forfeitures, as the former drawback or allowance granted by the said recited act of the twelfth year of his present Majesty’s reign, upon tea exported to the said British colonies and plantations in America was, might, or could be made, and was subject to by the said recited act, or any other act of parliament now in force, in as full and ample manner, to all intents and purposes, as if the several clauses relative thereto were again repeated and re-enacted in this present act.
II. And whereas by one other act made in the eighteenth year of the reign of his late majesty King George the Second, (intituled, An act for repealing the present inland duty of four shillings per pound weight upon all tea sold in Great Britain; and for granting to his Majesty certain other inland duties in lieu thereof; and for better securing the duty upon tea, and other duties of excise; and for pursuing offenders out of one county into another,) it is, amongst other things, enacted, That every person who shall, at any publick sale of tea made by the united company of merchants of England trading to the East Indies, be declared to be the best bidder for any lot or lots of tea, shall, within three days after being so declared the best bidder or bidders for the same, deposit with the said united company, or such clerk or officer as the said company shall appoint to receive the same, forty shillings for every tub and for every chest of tea; and in case any such person or persons shall refuse or neglect to make such deposit within the time before limited, he, she, or they, shall forfeit and lose six times the value of such deposit directed to be made as aforesaid, to be recovered by action of debt, bill, plaint, or information, in any of his Majesty’s courts of record at Westminster, in which no essoin, protection, or wager of law, or more than one imparlance, shall be allowed; one moiety of which forfeiture shall go to his Majesty, his heirs and successors, and the other moiety to such person as shall sue or prosecute for the same; and the sale of all teas, for which such deposit shall be neglected to be made as aforesaid, is thereby declared to be null and void, and such teas shall be again put up by the said united company to publick sale, within fourteen days after the end of the sale of teas at which such teas were sold; and all and every buyer or buyers, who shall have neglected to make such deposit as aforesaid, shall be, and is and are thereby rendered incapable of bidding for or buying any teas at any future publick sale of the said united company: and whereas it is found to be expedient and necessary to increase the deposit to be made by any bidder or bidders for any lot or lots of bohea teas, at the publick sales of teas to be made by the said united company; be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every person who shall, after the tenth day of May, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-three, at any publick sale of tea to be made by the said united company of merchants of England trading to the East Indies, be declared to be the best bidder or bidders for any lot or lots of bohea tea, shall, within three days after being so declared the best bidder or bidders for the same, deposit with the said united company, or such clerk or officer as the said united company shall appoint to receive the same, four pounds of lawful money of Great Britain for every tub and for every chest of bohea tea, under the same terms and conditions, and subject to the same forfeitures, penalties, and regulations, as are mentioned and contained in the said recited act of the eighteenth year of the reign of his said late Majesty.
III.

IV. And whereas by an act made in the ninth and tenth years of the reign of King William the Third, (intituled, An act for raising a sum not exceeding two millions, upon a fund, for payment of annuities, after the rate of eight pounds per centum per annum; and for settling the trade to the East Indies,) and by several other acts of parliament which are now in force, the said united company of merchants of England trading to the East Indies are obliged to give security, under their common seal, for payment of the duties of customs upon all unrated goods imported by them, so soon as the same shall be sold; and for exposing such goods to sale, openly and fairly, by way of auction, or by inch of candle, within the space of three years from the importation thereof: and whereas it is expedient that some provision should be made to permit the said company, in certain cases, to export tea, on their own account, to the British plantations in America, or to foreign parts, without exposing such tea, to sale here, or being charged with the payment of any duty for the same; be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, That from and after the passing of this act, it shall and may be lawful for the commissioners of his Majesty’s treasury, or any three or more of them, or the high treasurer for the time being, to grant a licence or quantity of licences to the said united company, to take out of their warehouses such quantity or quantities of tea as the said commissioners of the treasury, or any three or more of them, or the high treasurer for the time being, shall think proper, without the same having been exposed to sale in this kingdom; and to export such tea to any of the British colonies or plantations in America, or to foreign parts, discharged from the payment of any customs or duties whatsoever; any thing in the said recited a ct, or any other act to the contrary notwithstanding.
V. Provided always, and it is hereby further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That a due entry shall be made at the custom-house, of all such tea so exported by licence, as aforesaid, expressing the quantities thereof, at what time imported, and by what ship; and such tea shall be shipped for exportation by the proper officer for that purpose, and shall, in all other respects, not altered by this act, be liable to the same rules, regulations, restrictions, securities, penalties, and forfeitures, as tea penalties, &c. exported to the like places was liable to before the passing this act: and upon the proper officer’s duty, certifying the shipping of such tea to the collector and comptroller of his Majesty’s customs for the port of London, upon the back of the licence, and the exportation thereof, verified by the oath of the husband or agent for the said united company, to be wrote at the bottom of such certificate, and sworn before the said collector and comptroller of the customs, (which oath they are hereby impowered to administer,) it shall and may be lawful for such collector and comptroller to write off and discharge the quantity of tea so exported from the warrant of the respective ship in which such tea was imported.
VI. Provided nevertheless, That no such licence shall be granted, unless it shall first be made to appear to the satisfaction of the commissioners of his Majesty’s treasury, or any three or more of them, or the high treasurer for the time being, that at the time of taking out such teas, for the exportation of which licence or licences shall be granted, there will be left remaining in the warehouses of the said united company, a quantity of tea not less than ten millions of pounds weight; any thing herein, or in any other act of parliament, contained to the contrary thereof notwithstanding.

Most of the facebook tea party sites I have seen have been public, so you can participate in them without signing up. Also check out http://www.meetup.com for more tea parties and 912 project meetings.
Of course register here too, but there is lot of tea party/912 project stuff going on that is not going through here so check them all out.
viva la revolution!

don't bother sending the tea bags to any government office. i've been assured they'll end up in the circular file. all mail to government office goes thru a clearing house.

I was told to open the tea bag and put the loose leaves in the envelope, I still think it is a good idea to send them, overwhelm them with the tea it will still make a statement.

Please be careful when attending the Tea Parties. I have read on other blogs that ACORN will be attending and requesting people to sign a document. Not really sure what kind of sale's pitch they are making but make sure that everyone knows to NOT sign anything. Please fellow Americas, please beware.
Thanks

not only that but its a waste of perfectly good tea. we all know you are upset, why not just wait 8 years until the repubs are back in the oval - we had to. seriously, get over it.

Hey dumbandproud,
11 TRILLION dollars in new spending is a perfect waste of taxpayer money. Get a job, get a paycheck, and see how much money you are surrenduring in taxes.Then you can help pay off the losers' mortgages.
