Our local Congress-critter may have decided to make an example of an uppity Tea Party activist. "Chilled" tea or just stupidity? I report - you decide...

A stupid Congressional staffer probably saw it and called it in, thus setting the process in motion. Except for a few of the high-level people, most staffers are quite dim.

Dumb-ass should have sent a tea bag.

To be on the safe side...if you like that sort of thing...a protester can always mail a photograph of a tea bag. You might want to include a photo of tar and feathers, or pitchforks and torches, for emphasis.

Never mail tea to a hyphenated liberal.

Thanks! That article was a hoot!

I heartily agree. This ‘evacuation’ will be the reason to silence opposition. (”See how much trouble your tea bag protest caused!”says Congress)
Tea Bags are cute. But there needs to be action to back up the tax revolt! Rearrange your affairs to lower your tax liability is a good start!

“Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not
bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic
duty to increase one’s taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is
nothing sinister in
so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it,
rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay
more than the law demands.”

If one teabag can shut down government for a day then it was worth it.

The socialist staffers were probably scared when they saw the word, ...

In the near future, tea companies will probably have to use HAZMAT stickers on their shipments...

Stupidity.

E-mails, letters and even calling do not seem to matter anymore to the people we elected to represent us in Congress.

Here’s a thought: when Congress was busy huffing and puffing about those evil AIG bonuses, no one gave it a second thought when the thuggish ACORN rent-a-mob went on a bus tour of AIG employees’ homes.

So, what if someone were to create a database containing all the HOME addresses of these professional thieves in Congress (both their D.C. and state home addresses) and distribute it widely across the internet?

A few peaceful public gatherings at their ritzy D.C. townhomes and gated estates might make them think twice as they continue to tax us and our children into a banana republic-style poverty.
