Don’t send the packets of tea to Rick Santelli. Just a thought.

[Old Sarge]

A very, very good list of to-do’s for an event like this!

"Email me if you have any questions or want some ideas for signs. bsteinhauser@freedomworks.org"

I don't want to burst your bubble but packing signs won't do anything.

[JRios1968]

Operation Teabag!!!!

“I don’t want to burst your bubble but packing signs won’t do anything.”

OK, you’ve said your what, now followup with your why.

[Kimberly GG]

ALL execllent points!

And don’t be dumb like me. Don’t PAY expensive costs to use Statehouse property (if that’s your location)...the sidewalk is FREE.

I don't want to burst your bubble but packing signs won't do anything.

Ditto.

[I see my hands]

Following the lead of the colonists I'll be available 16 months after the event.

A waste of time.

All such stunts do is make the people involved feel like they’ve done something. They may feel better, but this solves no problems.

Better to quietly and with great determination start recruiting strong candidates and get ready to take Congress back.

We have a year to get it together.

11. Don’t forget to have plenty of bail money on hand.

[Man50D]

Won’t permits be required?

[Fu-fu2]

I saw a sign at a protest on tv today—”Give me Liberty or Give me a Flat Screen TV.” Clever signs will make it on your local news.

A whistle works well for making noise.

While you’re at it, pick up a sheet cake on sunday from a local bakery. Have them write “Happy Birthday President Washington” on it. Then get disposable plates and forks and take it somewhere with a lot of foot traffic, where you can give cake away to all comers until it’s gone.

If you have an SAR or DAR in the area ask them to help.

Stock tip...buy Lipton

Do I really need to? The Phone lines were in meltdown and it got us nowhere. I'll toss this out however Obama will choke himself without our help.

[LinnKeyes2000]

You do not need a permit to be on the sidewalk. That’s public property. Take it from a guy who’s handed out free literature on the sidewalks and has had to talk to cops about it.

"All such stunts do is make the people involved feel like they’ve done something. They may feel better, but this solves no problems."

On top of that it gives ammo to the press to make us look like nuts. I don't need any help with that.

That’s one reason I prefer to work behind the scenes.
