Cool, how about some links? Thanks.
You’ve never heard of toilet paper?
TPM is the standard, for Tea Party Movement.
The convention should be one month AFTER the GOPe has their show.
The minor parties in NY were very influential when I was a kid, especially the Liberal Party, based on whether they would accept or reject the major parties’ nominees.
Maybe that's just me
I appreciate the concern and thanks for bringing awareness to the loose knit structure of Tea Party groups.
The amorphous structure of the Tea Party is what prevents the state run media from unleashing Alinsky style tactics in the manner of fixing on a person, freezing that person and proceeding to destroy the person.
It helps that many Tea Party champions have the ‘R’ besides their name because state run media can’t pin them down so easily to the Tea Party when they can counter they are republicans.
We need ideas. I envision videos of each state’s Tea Party delegations waving flags of their state and waiting for the moment to announce who they nominate to represent the Tea Party platform. I see these delegates as having been selected by the loose knit Tea Party organizations inside their states.
I think the convention organizers can for all intents and purposes remain pretty much anonymous.
But I do share you concern that we don’t want to give rise to a rigid political party hierarchy that will be tempted to fold in with the DC corrupted ruling class.
Need more ideas and views on this.
Wouldn’t putting a conservative candidate up against the GOP nominee (from the GOP convention) and the Democrat nominee just result in splitting the Republican vote two ways and make it easier for the Democrat candidate to win?
Yes.
Virtual.
With house parties for people to watch online.
Excellent idea.
Live Streaming Video on the internet.
Announcement and location advertising for ‘house parties’.
The main reporter there was Matt Boyle: here are his archives. If you go down, you’ll see that many of them are related to SC TP event.

I have, but in an adult conversation, which might preclude you now that I think of it, most folks will understand that’s not what is meant.
What other states that you know of have had or are going to have Tea Party Conventions?
the quintessential TPM idea????

comingsoon .it’s GONNA BE BIG!
and as a talk show host in Wisconsin called it recently, it’s “instant tea” as a killer issue.
Interesting....website still not up yet.
As another poster said it’s an exercise in herding cats but cats always run to the food bowl when they’re hungry.
So the Tea Party delegate cats can run to a one-time semi-virtual convention to get their candidate of choice on record.
Depending on date, I should be able to make it.
I would love to get conservatives on the same page. No Rinos!!!
I would think if Ted Cruz were to show up that picture would change substantially.
Love it. Please ping me if you start a list of those interested in participating or updates. Thanks.
What a great idea — conservatives finally getting assertive, and doing something other than whine about how bad the other guys are.
but I do own the needed URLs .and working this idea behind the scenes ..
Stay tuned!
