I am (and have been) taking individual action.
Everywhere I go I carry loose tea bags. I leave one behind. At the bank, on the train, at the gas pump, at the library, especially at Borders Books.
I have left over a hundred so far. My favorite was a teabag looped over the ears of a life-sized cardboard figure of TOTUS in Union Station in DC. I pulled back and watched the reactions of passers-by. People do notice...and that is the point.
If hundreds of us did this (or thousands) in every state we could make it a "Kilroy Was Here" legend and drive the commie bastards crazy.
It's cheap, easy and fun. My eight year old grandson helps. He's a solid CIT (Conservative in Training).
I LOVE THE TEABAG IDEA!
And the first thing I thought of on reading it was
what eventually you likened it to: “Kilroy was Here”.
Let’s figure a way to make the teabag a nationwide symbol
starting NOW!
We can get large quantities of tea in 500 count boxes at places like Costco, and when you’ve got that much material to work with for a few bucks, you can do anything with it with impunity.You only need buy the cheapest brand, like Red Rose, IIRC. Carry them around, thumbtack them to bulletin boards EVERYWHERE , like Dunkin’ Donuts or the supermarket. Thumbtack them onto a little index card preprinted with a terse statement as to what they mean, and how and why this movement can and will develop momentum. We should all work on this NOW!
Send them in the mail to everyone in Congress and leave them EVERYWHERE and I mean EVERYWHERE!
How about starting a thread inviting ‘position statements’
and/or signs for the next mass tea party demonstration>?
WE CAN DO THIS!!
I have been involved in local civic activism before and believe me, it takes resolve and commitment!
My emotions were on a roller coaster on the 15th when I joined the 50 person group in Nanuet NY collected on the side of Rte 59W, and saw the beginnings of something I have really never seen before.....and I resolved to find a way NOT to let it die.....of course this Administration does at least a half dozen things a day to keep us inspired that we should have more and more of these,since we’ve all seen the dismissive reaction already the day OF and the day FOLLOWING the demonstrations....I think they don’t have a choice, and I think they are GOADING us into a fight.And I think they are GOING TO GET ONE. Your thoughts please/
That’s a great idea! Leave the tea bags behind! That will really piss the libs off. They’ll probably say we’re contributing to all kinds of environmental destruction as a result.
