New TEA PARTY idea "operation" floating around
Website ^ | 7/31/09 | I Bleed Red

Posted on 07/31/2009 7:41:36 AM PDT by Ibleedred

FYI,

Found on net new "operation" by (looks like) tea party followers to systematically "infiltrate/attend" all public appearances by congressman and senators back home in their districts by confronting with certain questions on issues, video-taping / audio recording answer to embarrass them on the issues (ignorance).

Being posted online. Clips being saved for election season to give to opponets to use to unseat incumbents.

Here's the link. The details are showing up on tea party website posts around the net.

Seems like a good idea to me...

I seriously doubt there will be a lot of elected officials back in their districts smoozing with the constituency that voted for all of this spending and government growth...

But I’d be on the lookout for any chance to engage them on these issues, get it on tape and get it out on the internet...

I bet the counter will be that any event they do attend, that there will be some move to restrict video and audio recording by anyone other than credentialed state controlled media types...

Questions will be pre-screened, and have pre-answers ready to fly...

Bottom line...We all know what needs ot be done, and waiting till 2010 may be a little late to really do something about it...

I’d start with the local elections coming up later this year...The message from that will certainly translate well into 2010...

I would not let up one second on these people...

I’m guessing this is leftists trying to paint something genuine into something insidious. You know, like everything they do.

But to be honest, if we’re not organizing these sort of things, we should be. We should be using every Alinsky tactic in their arsenal against them. This is war, not a damn garden party.

Sounds like a skam by Axelrod. I wouldn’t trust this website. Yes, attend town halls. Yes, ask questions. But do your own research and ask your own questions.

The questions suggested sound like they were written by Rahm.

It would be nice to have a TEA PARTY RUBBER STAMP MADE FOR DOLLAR BILLS. Stamp each dollare bill with the tea party 9/12 logo

This is just such an excellent idea. I hope these guys get the ball rolling on this.

A nice database of public meetings for all our Senators and Congressmen for the month of August would be a good start. Lots of work but worth it it they can pull it off. This is the way to kill Government Health Care, Government Energy Control and, who knows, maybe Government Birth Certificate Control.

I think we need to go after media outlets too for lying, covering up and not getting all the news out. This has gone on much too long.

Now that is a great idea...

Stamps can be made pretty cheap...Just make sure the message is consistent...

What is the 9/12 logo???

Is it the Glen Beck thing???

I have a feeling that my marxist rep is going to take a beating no matter where he goes.

Axel Rods not that smart. Why would a question questioning congresses const. authority by written by Rahm? They’re anti-constitution!

I have my reasons for thinking Axl is behind this.

Anytime someone tells you the questions to ask you clearly are not the one that should be asking questions.

The goal is not to turn these town halls into a circus. It is to ask great questions of our representatives. If you have to have someone give you canned questions to ask, step aside and sit down.

The idea of building a party within the party is what we need to do for the GOP. We need Tea Party Republicans.

We need Republicans that are organized enough to insure that no Dole, Bush, nor McCain gets the nomination again.

I agree. I think the media is the biggest culprit in getting Zero in the WH. I would like to see the TEA party protesters congregate outside the major media offices in NY and elsewhere. Lots of crowds with signs "We want the truth," etc. The media can't ignore them then as they do when they protest in other places and get no coverage as if they do not exist. Just MHO anyway.

This site is weird. I refuse to click on links. Protect my cookies. But from what I did see, it was about embarrassing Congressmen. And all of a sudden it pops up. definately, a propagandist work. FU Dummies.
