It’s a good start.
Now we need to take the message further ... only this time get more control over the message.

One problem that I saw with the tea parties was too many messages, too many gripes being aired. Not that they aren’t valid, but this will go no where if we don’t stick to ONE message.

It should be about EXCESSIVE SPENDING which will cause humongous debt burden for future generations ... who are too yount to vote or haven’t been born yet ... so they have NO REPRESENATION.

I don’t know about that. I was at the Van Nuys, CA demo, and it was interesting to see all of the diversity of interests forming around this as a catalyist. Some old-line anti-tax warriors from the Jarvis generation, at least three Gadsden flags, some libertarian types: it was more synergistic than diffused. There will come a time to focus thte political message, but for now, it’s an unequaled opportunity to build a coalition that can “bring it” to the liberals in both parties.

You are right. This movement will gain power in direct proportion to how FOCUSED it becomes.

If it wanders off into the forest of pet conservative issues -- as valid as many of those issues are -- it's not going to blunt itself badly.
