A Tea Party is the demonstrated collection of our concerns over the increase in government intervention in our lives, our freedoms, and our pocket books.  Our goal is to coordinate a truly non-partisan nationwide Tea Party event on July 4th in to one easy to navigate and user friendly place on the web. We are not all Republicans, we are not all part of the 912 project, we are not all Libertarians.  Some of us are Democrats, many of us work with TaxDayTeaParty.com, others with TaxDayCoalition.com, Independence Caucus, America Again!, TeaPartyRevolution.com or a host of other well intentioned movements, political parties, and/or organizations. However, we are all here as individuals concerned with the direction of our country and distraught over the destruction of our Constitution.  We have our own ideas, political tendencies, and personal desires, and we must respect them among one another.  In order to take on the trend toward tyranny, we must organize ourselves across many groups to inform, encourage and cooperate with one another, setting aside our relatively minute disagreements. If you are an organizer or would like to be, let us know if you are ready to take an active stand.

With all the Tea Parties being set up, many patriots have asked how they can begin organizing their own Tea Party.  There are several independent Tea Parties, including a mass nationwide Tea Party on April 15th.  Although this website is for the purpose of organizing well coordinated, but decentralized Tea Parties from sea to shining sea, on July 4th, 2009, here are some pointers to help you all organize and plan Tea Parties for any event.

If you are a Tea Party coordinator from any location or date, you can contact our event planner at aaron@peacpac.com to discuss details and to promote our common cause.

1. Check to see about existing protests

Use Google, Meetup, and Facebook to see if there are already protests being planned in your area. Also be sure to check the lists of registered Tea Party protests at ReTeaParty forums. If there’s already a protest being planned in your area, help out with the remaining steps in this list by contacting the protest planners and offering whatever help you can as well as by taking the initiative on your own to turn out as many people as possible. If there is no protest in your area, proceed to:

2. Pick a Location

On July 4^th, you’ll be joined by protesters all over America.  Choose a time that will be suitable for the most people. For us, July 4^th is time to Tea Party all day.

Choose a location that is publically visible. Check your local statutes for rules about large public gatherings and see to it that you don’t rub shoulders with local law enforcement by breaking any laws (use the Internet or phonebook to get the contact information of a pertinent office in your local government that you can check in with about your event).

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds. - Samuel Adams

As one of the Founding Fathers and architects of the American republic, Samuel Adams argued that the people must resist encroachment on their constitutional rights, and spent a life observing that principle .  As for the Boston Tea Party, historians debate whether or not he helped plan the event. What is known however, is that Adams worked hard to publicize and defend the Tea Party as a principled protest.

Hundreds of people have asked how to get involved and make the Tea Party movement a success and reach out to those who are not active, but hold a mutual desire to get the government off of our backs and out of our pockets. This great advice and direction comes from a post by Cara C. We recommend that all persons interested in organizing and informing themselves about Tea Parties visit the forums, to help turn online enthusiasm into a visible offline statement:

With momentum building allover the country, the San Diego Tea Party Meetup Group is taking steps necessary to make sure that this movement is a success.  Check out their next meeting agenda to get some ideas on how groups are utilizing different social networks to coordinate and communicate with other patriotic supporters in their local area on a more personal level.  Please contact us at ReTeaParty.com or any Tea Party MeetUp organizers around the country for advice or more information.

Who We Are: We are concerned citizens just like everyone else that have had enough of government waste, corruption, and intrusion into our daily lives. We are non-partisan, directing our angst not at a particular party or person, but at the collective failures of our entire congress to follow and uphold the Constitution. We are devoted to making a difference and get our elected representatives to listen to our voice.
