A local here on the Space Coast sent this out to the Merritt Island, FL 9-12/ tea party movement group. He presents a roadmap for Tea Partiers nationwide. (Boldface emphasis and all accompanying photo illustrations are mine) See if you don't agree?

Fellow Patriots,
We have spent the past year making our voices heard. We have gotten attention that has run the gamut from degrading, to dismissive, and back again. This is encouraging instead of discouraging, because the progressives only degrade those whom they consider a threat to their agenda. When Barbara Boxer suggested her followers have the same enthusiasm as the Tea Party folks, I knew our time has come. I am proud of us. Now comes the question, so what will we do from here? The letters, e-mails, faxes and rallies have gotten our toe in the door, and now we have the chance to tell the truth to the Americans who are wiping the sleepers from their eyes. I have a plan.
The first thing I think needs to happen is...
By and large, I agree with the problems he mentions, but I think his solutions are wrong. The media couldn’t care less about any barrage. Persistence would only be met with smirks. State capitol marches are going to be ignored. And the younger generation is only partially interested, and any attempt to reach them would be a drop in the ocean.
I have little doubt what the solution is. The Tea Party needs to be feared (politically). A perfect example is the recent election in Florida. A low turn out election, and won by the democrat. That is where the marching should have been. Tea Partiers should have been going door to door in that district, not looking at each other’s signs. If 5 thousand tea partiers had gone down there, it would have made a huge difference, and possibly even resulted in a win. But either way, that is how to gain attention: get results.
