All sounds good. But our local group is going to focus on getting the right politicians in place first.

Overlooking the big picture will be the point of fracture that will keep any tea party from becoming a political party. It’s all fine to demand Constitutional restoration. But the process of encroachment took decades, and the changes back towards rule of law will also take time. Wasting effort on unrealistic short term goals takes away from those achievable goals.

Work with the people we have. Or replace them. Everything else will fall in place depending on the strength of the candidates we elect.

We don’t need any damn convention telling grassroots America what we already know.

Damn straight. I'm suspicious of anyone trying to "organize" the Tea Parties into a centralized entity - makes it too easy for leftist skunks to co-opt and then neutralize. The configuration it is at right now is just fine.

Great plan, Ozarkman,

The problem is, that’s precisely the plan we have been following for the last thirty years in America policy. If we don’t learn from our own history, we will be doomed to repeat it.

I really can’t stress this point enough: Even with the best of intentions, the best people in office, following the strictest interpretation of the constitution possible, without an actual change in the enumerated power we the people have given to our government via the constitution, nothing will change. Too assume otherwise will simply be playing to the present special interests’ political agenda.
