WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Heartland Institute's James M. Taylor and Paul Chesser will be among the headlined speakers September 26 in Lafayette Park, across the street from the front door of the White House, for a Green Tea Party to confront the issue of global warming.
Organized by Truth About Green, a Maryland-based non-profit, and co-sponsored by Heartland, the Green Tea Party will create a venue for activists to demonstrate their skepticism that global warming has reached crisis levels and show their opposition to cap-and-trade legislation the U.S. Senate will take up in coming months.
The national event will feature several other guest speakers on related environmental issues, as well as entertainment by country music artist John Luskey.
Truth About Green was founded in 2009 by Maryland residents Nancy Sabater and Mary Burke-Russell. "We didn't feel enough was being done to educate everyday, ordinary Americans about the other side of the global warming debate," said Sabater. "The biggest issue next to health care is 'cap-and-tax,'but hardly anyone knows what it is orjust what it will mean for the average person. Before we impose all these costly regulations, it's important to have all the facts -- and to have more common sense about what we're doing."
Featured speakers at the nation's first Green Tea Partyinclude:
* Howard Brandston, lighting consultant and designer
* Paul Chesser and James M. Taylor, The Heartland Institute
* Lindsay Janeway, aka CrabbyCon on Twitter
* Andrew Langer, founder of the Institute for Liberty
* Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, international documentarians and producers of the soon-to-be-released "Not Evil, Just Wrong," a rebuttal film aimed at uncovering the falsehoods presented in Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth"
* Steve Milloy, author of Green Hell: How Environmentalists Plan to Control Your Life and What You Can Do to Stop Them, and founder and publisher of www.junkscience.com, a Web site devoted to defending the truth of science
* Marc Morano, editor of Climate Depot
* Phil Parenti, Americans for Prosperity, Southern Maryland Chapter
* Julie Walsh, Freedom Action
Charles Loller, founder of New Day Maryland, will serve as emcee.
"We want to create venues where we can have a good time and talk about important issues. All Americans need to be better informed about the potentially life-changing decisions our politicians could make," said Sabater.

This is the 1st I’ve heard of it. Hope they get a good turn out!
your kidding right?
Thanks for the links.
Americans need to know the specifics, and this might be a very good start getting the word out.
No. I’m series. It’s a ping list.
RUSH LIMBAUGH (September 15, 2009):
"Over the many years now of my star-studded broadcast career I have posited the notion that environmental extremism, environmental wackoism is simply the new home for displaced communists. And I've always been right about it, and here's a story from the UK Telegraph from the 12th of September: "Official Responsible for Light Bulb Ban [in the European Union] is a Former Communist -- The man responsible for the Europe-wide ban on traditional light bulbs can be revealed as a former Soviet Communist party member from Latvia," and it's the same thing here. They may not be Soviet Communist Party members, but, hell, the Communist Party USA puts a press release out, maybe two every day, supporting whatever Obama happens to be talking about that day. "Are you calling Obama a communist?" No, no, no, no. Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say that. Environmental wackoism -- it's simply where communism has relocated."
Thanks should go to Ooh-Ah for this great news.
You should be speaking at this PING
Uh...not for me...i will take one battle at a time...

That was my first reaction, too. But I got to thinking, the Left has proven successful by flanking using a phalanx of diverse campaigns.
