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.

and as a talk show host in Wisconsin called it recently, it’s “instant tea” as a killer issue.
I agree. It's very difficult to decapitate a head that doesn't exist. The Tea Party is not a party at all. It is a movement, a group of Americans that have a belief in the same ideals and tested truths that come from some of the best minds that America has ever produced, the Founders.
It's also difficult to dismiss the Founders that Americans admire and the media know that. Otherwise they would be more forceful doing so.
These are not old and stale ideas but ideas that as you would agree are still relevant today. And it is up to us to make the connection between the events of today's world and the beliefs and policies of our Founders. Mentioning them by name for the less educated in American history. Let the media fight that.
Point out the lawlessness in our current government, the erosion of our God given Rights described by our Founders in the Constitution and the reason why they described these rights as God given. Government can not take them away.
