How many Tea Party groups are there? Is Ensuring Liberty Corp. legit?
I hope they bring the constitution up often
To me, this is not the REAL Tea Party movement. As Nancy would say, it is astroturf, not grass roots. I am involved in a local Tea Party group and we don’t let the Republican party or anyone else take credit for it or overtake it.
Event: Constitution Rally
Date: Saturday February 6th
Time: 11:00 – 1:00 (Doors open at 10:00)
Where: Old Menards Store in Sheboygan (4309 County Trunk J)
The Sheboygan Liberty Coalition is sponsoring this educational event about the Constitution, it’s origins, the fundamental differences between the State and Federal Constitutions and more. Learn how you can protect your future and the future of our children using principles set forth in the Constitution by our founding fathers. Featured speakers include: Dr. Kevin Gutzman, Constitutional Scholar and author, Hon. Randy Koschnick, Constitutionalist and Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge and Mr. Bob Basso, a.k.a. “Thomas Paine”.
Please go to our website at www.sheboyganlibertycoalition.com for more information including directions.
P.S. above is a shameless plus for our tea party tomorrow
From FReeper ThePatriotsFlag;
Something special is happening with the Tea Party Movement of today. Of course people will try to gain control of it because it is a very powerful source of energy. But the concern that it is “not controlled” and therefore “doomed” is unfounded. It needs not be nor should it be confined ... to a leader, to an organization or to a specific plan. Such activity would nullify the greatness of what it has become to date and could grow to in the future. One needn’t worry ... one only need to join the energy, shun people who attempt its control and allow plans to be spur of the moment. With a leader, there is a target, with an organization, a counter-organization, with a plan, a thwarting of the plan. But as pure ENERGY ... nothing can stop it. Think of it is energy ... join it, and be a part of this historical change-making effort.
With no leader or formal organization, those who believe in and practice central planning have no idea of how to defeat us. We are a moving target that they can'tr get their minds around.
Accept NO leader.......we don't need one
Let NO ONE define us....we know who we are and what we are about.
Who is Mark Skoda? The man who plans on controlling millions of dollars.
And if you can't see the problem with concentrating power in the federal bureaucracy, then see you eye doctor.
I very much favor people making their own decision who to give to rather than give that to others. We need to stay awake and not depend on others to make our choices for us -- Look where that has gotten us now. Local PACs can be formed and dissolved for one election cycle. And anyone with some media skills can turn out what I think are the most effective ads, radio ads, raise the money and put them up on local stations.
Truth, honor of your word should guide the tea party people, not coagulation in puddles. Just my 2 cents. After the 1994 election success, Perot fail and now the tea party I have grown so scars.
I hope the group also targets voter fraud; investigating, exposing, and prosecuting it.
Google Ensuring Liberty Corp., they don’t exsist.
Some scammer is trying to cash in on the Tea Party Movement. Nice of Politico to report it with no attribution whatsoever.
And who is the leader, no one knows and that is the beauty, since then there is no target for the libturds to take down. And you know they dearly want to do just that. Just look what happened in Nashville just today.
The Apache Indians held off the Spaniards for hundreds of years with their system of unrelated tribes based on the Nant'an, their spiritual leader. I believe this fellow summarized the book "The Starfish and the Spider - The unstoppable power of leaderless organizations" -- A book about large organizations and how leaderless, 'wisdom of the crowd' government works best.
Resist the tug to become "an organization", stay a movement.
Is this the spirit that drove our founders, could be.
See post 12, what do you think?
I have to think about this one for a while. On the one hand, I don’t like the idea of the Tea Party Movement becoming “corrupted,” on the other hand, the Tea Party Movement, per se, has done more in one year to popularize the message of liberty and Constitutional ideals than the Libertarian Party has done in 40 years.
I think a lot of people are being too quick to criticize a Movement that is so young. Like every other populist movement in history, they are going to make tactical and strategic errors, piss people off, become too big for their breeches, take too much for granted, become involved in internal Machiavellian power struggles, and so forth.
That having been said, I admire what they doing and hope they keep on doing it. They are a force to be reckoned with in American politics and a breath of fresh air. Hopefully, the cooler, rational heads in the movement will prevail and the losers will go back to their day jobs.

Not sure for sure and No idea. Depends on what you mean by the word ‘Legit’ ,, legal? probably. ;-)
I posted it off of Politico.com fwiw. :-)
Asymmetrical warfare.

You see the size of those darn minicams these days... Tiny.
I hope we are witnessing an escalation of the use of various techniques, all legal of course, to nail the ‘varmints’, wherever they may be.
Doesn’t Politico like to jump right in to report in the negative? I think I’ll wait for additional and more detailed reports from our reliable news sources. Carl Cameron reports from the Convention site and he said that Skoda’s idea was offered, but up to individuals to accept or reject and he noted that Skoda is out of Memphis, so I’m certain this is the same guy.
This is NOT the real tea party...and now this group has a corporation involved, and the dems will run with that; they’ve already been saying that the tea party was not grass roots, but backed by “big corporations”...and this bunch is just going to lend credence to that.
