CALL TO ACTION: Counter the "Crash the tea-party!"

[OR Patriot]

Okay, so the radicals want to chill the speech of law abiding citizens because they don’t agree with their message? How un-American is that?

Here’s what you can do to thwart their attempt:

1. Email the “teaparty crashers” at crashtheteaparty@gmail.com email link and let them know you do not support their effort of infringing upon the rights of others to free speech.

2. You can email PayPal at service@paypal.com email link and let them know that www.crashtheteaparty.org is accepting "charitable donations" and is not a registered charity in the state of Oregon so naturally you fear they may be committing fraud.  It also appears to be a violation fo PayPal's use agreement for an entity to take "donations" that is not a legitimate not for profit.

3. Finally, you can email the person who registered www.crashtheteaparty.org at xenex11@gmail.com email link his name is Jason Levin from Portland Oregon (geesh! of course). His website is here; http://www.zane-levin.com/ Apparently he is a “technology consultant” who graduated from San Francisco State University. Go figure.

NOTE: Do not give this guy any ammunition. Just let him know you believe it is ironic that self-proclaimed proponents of free speech will go to great lengths to attempt to quash the speech of those with whom they don’t agree.  You could follow by suggesting that freedom loving Americans who make up the Tea Party movement aren't going to take their crap any longer and will push back through all legal means their attempt to suppress our freedom of speech.

Who is breaking the law?

Jean, as usual and yet again, you're correct.

OR Patriot, please re-read my post.

[OR Patriot]

Last reply, and your are really making a silly argument here.

PayPal user agreement does not allow any violation of state, local or federal laws.

Go here: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?&cmd=_render-content&content_ID=ua/AcceptableUse_popup

Oregon REQUIRES ALL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ACCEPT DONATIONS TO REGISTER WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE DEPT OF JUSTICE.

SATISFIED?

[OR Patriot]

Jean, as usual and yet again, you're correct. Well... you would both be wrong then. So I suggest you exercise your freedom of speech and don't read my posts okay?

You are probably right. We exposed infiltrators from a local Socialist organization a few years ago. My boyfriend pointed out our advesary standing in the crowd and then followed him around. They were not happy. :-) Let’s do that again. I’d announce to the media that we are not racist, homophones, ect and that any display of such is being done by posers.

[oneamericanvoice]

Good for you!

[Jean S]

PayPal user agreement does not allow any violation of state, local or federal laws.

You have not provided any proof that they are violating any laws.

I don't like this group but you're making ridiculous accusations and are calling on Freepers to harass PayPal.

[oneamericanvoice]

This isn’t harassment. These people are using the service illegally. Free Republic is not.

[oneamericanvoice]

Permanent crash would be nice! Everyone needs to keep it up. Unfortunately, I got through awhile ago.

[OR Patriot]

Clearly you know NOTHING about PayPal or non-profit organizations.

PayPal REQUESTS that people notify them of violations of their user agreement and that is ALL I WAS SUGGESTING.

Further, I gave you links SHOWING YOU THE REFERENCES TO THE LAW! HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED A STATE POLICE OFFICER TO TELL YOU SO? Go to the link and look up anything remotely related to tea party and you will see there is one organization alone registered in the state of Oregon and that is the Oregon Tea Party.

SO THE CRASHTHETEAPARTY.ORG IS VIOLATING OREGON STATE LAW BY ACCEPTING DONATIONS IN OREGON (where the founder lives) AND IS NOT REGISTERED, GET IT?!

[Jean S]

These people are using the service illegally.

How? And can you prove it?

Or would you rather Freepers harass PayPal on the word of a newbie?

[OR Patriot]

Indeed. I got through and posted a couple of polite messages and was banned. Then registered and posted a few more and the site crashed. So maybe we can... CRASH THE CRASHERS!

[oneamericanvoice]

There are many folks like myself and my boyfriend who love guns. While I don’t like this guy I do support his right to have guns. I’d think that as a Libertarian you would too.

[Jean S]

LOL, you’re getting testy now. I love arguments in ALL CAPS.

[pyx]

Well... you would both be wrong then. So I suggest you exercise your freedom of speech and don't read my posts okay?

No. Not okay.

I retain the inalienable right to read anything I wish and to comment on it.

[OR Patriot]

Well, we use caps to get the point across to people who don’t listen to reason.

[Jean S]

So I suggest you exercise your freedom of speech and don't read my posts okay?

I'm going to go out of my way to read you posts in the future. You posted this in the breaking news and activism sidebars. That sends up a red flag.
Fortunately the mods removed those topics.

[libertarian27]

you missed the line
‘.....just saying.....’

Tea Party activists have been portrayed as dangerous gun touting people...if this guy gets any legs with his effort.....

....just saying.....

[outinyellowdogcountry]

I have two messages from this Jason Levin saying he is the wrong person. This had better be a well thought out idea or you make us look like idiots. I usually don’t jump on bandwagons but today I did.

He said I was one of the few that didn’t use bad language, irrational rants, etc. I don’t care to harrass an innocent person. What GIVES??????

[OR Patriot]

You are correct, you can read my posts, however, you may find youself less frustrated by not reading posts of people with whom you don’t agree.
