you are trying to heard cats…..the tea party is a leaderless (by design) movement……I mean, I’d support the idea I guess, but it almost flies in the face of the individualism of the tea party to over organize.
TPs come in many flavors. Some are very libertine. Some are very social oriented. Neither is really the zeitgeist that launched the movement, which was more anti big govt than pure libertine and certainly not social oriented...
I appreciate the concern and thanks for bringing awareness to the loose knit structure of Tea Party groups.
The amorphous structure of the Tea Party is what prevents the state run media from unleashing Alinsky style tactics in the manner of fixing on a person, freezing that person and proceeding to destroy the person.
It helps that many Tea Party champions have the ‘R’ besides their name because state run media can’t pin them down so easily to the Tea Party when they can counter they are republicans.
We need ideas. I envision videos of each state’s Tea Party delegations waving flags of their state and waiting for the moment to announce who they nominate to represent the Tea Party platform. I see these delegates as having been selected by the loose knit Tea Party organizations inside their states.
I think the convention organizers can for all intents and purposes remain pretty much anonymous.
But I do share you concern that we don’t want to give rise to a rigid political party hierarchy that will be tempted to fold in with the DC corrupted ruling class.
Need more ideas and views on this.
