I agree with your comments.

It’s generally considered tacky to print up your own materials, then crash another organization’s event to pass them out.

Most of us are pro-life here. I have seen pro-life tracts that I wouldn’t care to see handed out at an event of my own. Some people think you have to include ghastly pictures to get the message across. Those can be over the top at times.

If you want to hand out materials at an event, it’s best to contact the organizers prior to the event, make your case, let them review the materials, and abide by their decision.

The refusal to allow some pro-life materials to be handed out, isn’t necessarily an indication that the Tea Party is not pro-life. I believe it’s more of a case of the Tea-Party deciding to keep their focus limited for the time being.

The Tea Party is still in it’s formative stages. The groups seem to have chosen to stick to certain issues that are easy for people to buy off on. They are trying to avoid broadening their emphasis in order to remain cohesive.

The question we have to ask is, “Has the Tea Party had a good impact so far?” I believe it has unquestionably had a good impact. It’s holding the Republican’s feet to the fire. That is good.

Now, is that something we can back or not? I believe it is. Trying to tarnish the effort because someone wouldn’t let you set their agenda for them no matter the validity of the subject, is not wise IMO.
