Suggested Tea Party Etiquette
Michelle Malkin site ^ | February 23, 2009 | beejaa

Posted on 02/24/2009 11:03:03 AM PST by beejaa

A message to all members of OPERATION TEA PARTY 2009 Excerpt from my contact Christie at Resist who offered great feedback on preparing for Tea Parties:

“This issue is something everyone should get informed on before we have any Tea Parties. There will be huge opposition once people find out that we are conservatives and anti-Obama’–even though it’s the whole corrupt system (including foreign money) that put him there.

The signs at the TPs should NOT be about Obama, they should concentrate on NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, WHERE’S THE STIMULUS?, CONGRESS WORKS FOR US, ETC., and this will sway people in the margins who may have voted for the Demos but see that throwing money we don’t have on the problem will only make it worse.

We have to be as NON-PARTISAN as possible because if we’re gonna win this thing it’s gonna be by uniting Americans not keeping them divided–which the gov’t media complex has a vested interest in.
Which comes back to comments about how we will depend on the Media to get the word out but they may also help to clue-in the opposition. If they the media and newspapers are notified the day of the events, then the ugliness could be minimized.”-Christie @ Resist

I will be posting some examples of signs that would be effective and on message at Operation Tea Party in event tools. We also have links and Tea Party calendar on main page to find your local events or post one you have firm info on. Thanks!

Keep up the good work patriots, send your contacts here and get involved locally!

how about we form a new party called the Tea Party?

I am sick of the GOP giving us candidates like McCain and Dole and then accusing the ‘conservatives’ of losing the election

How about “NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION”?
If only those that work for a living could vote, I think the interests of our Congress would change overnight.

You have to show a net tax payment on your 1040’s in order to vote?

Great idea.

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION - if you’re gonna tax me, I better have a say in how things run around here

NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION - if you’re gonna give someone a say (illegals), you better tax them to keep it fair

My daughter will be carrying one this weekend reading something along the lines of “Thank you Sen McCaskill For Mortgaging My Future”

I am thinking
“1773-2009, Another Tea Party Brewing”
“I Acted Responsibly, Now I Have To Pay For Those That Didn’t?”
“If a tax on tea was worth fighting over, what’s your future worth?”
“Tax Revolt - Party Like It’s 1773”

I’m not so sure about that one. We’re not supposed to mention Obama. I’m thinking of just something like, “Where’s the Money?” It’s a little insipid for a protest sign, but the question of where we’re going to get all that money cuts across party lines.

Basically McCain had a mini party in the senate with the dirty 14. It kept the republicans from returning the senate to a real filibuster majority ending of 51, not the artificial 60 the democrats want and have.

This is exactly what we need in the house and senate; enough swing votes in a third party to prevent another porkulus from ever passing again.

I don't care what you call it but count me in.

“UH, this is war. Screw being nice.”

That’s what I say. When Teddy Kennedy was speaking at the Reagan Library a year or so ago, I held a BIG sign that said “Ted Kennedy. Traitor. Murderer.” Other protestors told me I needed to leave — that, although they agreed with me, they didn’t want their kids to see those bad words. I told them they’d do their kids a favor to educate them on the real world. Anyhow, I stayed and had the whole corner to myself. I’m not sure if I heard the strains of “Kum-Ba-Yah” from the the other corners, but maybe.

So... what you said: Screw being nice.

No, they’d get to vote, if their husband’s income has net tax liability. That’s because tax liability is a joint responsibility, even if only one person in the marriage creates the income. That’s according to the IRS, if you submit your taxes as married, filing jointly. So, they’d be considered taxpayers, even if not drawing income outside the home.

The time for protest is over. The time for resistance is now.

Passive resistance. S-l-o-w driving during rush hour is a good way to start.

My sister and I are attending the party in Tulsa on Friday. We are bringing smoked pork, cubed and on toothpicks to be given away. The sign will say, “Free pork for bailout recipients,” or, “Free pork for foreclosure VICTIMS.”

And now every convinced opponent of Socialism must ask himself how he can fight against the present “state” in the most effective way, how he can strike it the most telling blows. Through passive resistance, without a doubt. We cannot provide each man with the blueprint for his acts, we can only suggest them in general terms, and he alone will find the way of achieving this end:

*Sabotage* sabotage at all gatherings, rallies, public ceremonies, and organizations of the Democrat Party.

*Sabotage* in all the areas of science and scholarship which further the continuation of socialism - whether in universities, technical schools, laboratories, research institutions, or technical bureaus.

*Sabotage* in all cultural institutions which could potentially enhance the “prestige” of the fascists among the people.

*Sabotage* in all branches of the arts which have even the slightest dependence on Socialism or render it service.

*Sabotage* in all publications, all newspapers, that are in the pay of the “government” and that defend its ideology and aid in disseminating the brown lie.

Do not give a penny to the public drives (even when they are conducted under the pretense of charity). For this is only a disguise. In reality the proceeds aid neither the Red Cross nor the needy. The government does not need this money; it is not financially interested in these money drives. After all, the presses run continuously to manufacture any desired amount of paper currency. But the populace must be kept constantly under tension, the pressure of the bit must not be allowed to slacken!

Do not contribute to the collections of metal, textiles and the like. Try to convince all your acquaintances of our spiritual and economic enslavement at the hands of the Socialists; of the destruction of all moral and religious values; and urge them to *passive resistance*!
