Well, this sounds like just a whole lot of feel-goodism.
The colonists who organized the Boston Tea Party actually put their lives at great risk when they gathered.
And, they actually went out and wreaked damage buy throwing the entire cargo of precious tea into the harbor.
Nothing that will come of these current “tea parties” even comes close to the colonists’ brave act of civil disobedience.
>not that I know of anyway.<
Hope I am wrong.
It sends a message to the Obama thugs that we the people are going to be in the streets fighting the police state they are setting up. Today its tea in the rivers, tomorrow it may well be “Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor” especially when the American People experience true hunger and are not much interested in federal bread lines and soup kitchens.

Well, people may get arrested for littering en masse with the teabags. You know the liberal-ati are gonna hate this so they will probably try to find the smallest excuse to come down on these folks.
All revolutions start with a first step.
It is significant that people are thinking in terms of a revolutionary act.
You are right. This will go on deft ears.
“Save the Tea, Dump the Politicians!”
“Tea Party Today, Tar & Feathers Tomorrow!”
“Decorate the National Mall: Politicians in Stockades!”
“Congress, YOU’RE FIRED!”
“Constitution First, Politics Last!”
“From YOUR Cold Dead Hands, We’ll Take OUR Country Back!”
“The Tree of Liberty Needs Manure!”
“(D) + (R) = Damn Rascals!”
“The Sons of Liberty are BACK!”
Like snowballs thrown in Boston a few hundred or so years ago.
