Teabaggers Planning A Spontaneous Eruption For Mid-October (oh frabjous day)

Last night, in an emergency conference call, nearly 100 national and local Tea Party Patriot organizers around the country unanimously supported a recent proposal to hold new week long rallies in over 650 cities around the country. The rallies will target local and national offices of representatives and senators.

Despite concerns expressed about overexposure and weather, all organizers agreed that we must do this to send a unified message; "We are still the silent majority and we will hold elected officials accountable for their votes."

The October Surprise as it is being called will focus on health care legislation, cap and trade and the November elections. The October Surprise is intended to get the media saying, my god they're back, bigger than ever and where are they coming from?

Several approaches were proposed to the rallies which are going to target local offices for national elected officials. Some will hold drive by rallies and others will hold sign waving rallies.

And in a ploy for media attention one proposal suggested Patriots camp out on the steps of our elected officials offices until the vote and encourage them to mark against nationalized health care. The idea is to work in shifts either via tent and 24/7 for the duration, or just show up during office hours for the whole day the entire week of Oct 19-23.

This extended presence will demonstrate that we have the passion and give the local media easy access to American's who hold our viewpoint. It is intended to make the Tea Party message the primary viewpoint for local audiences as the vote nears.

Thoughts:
1- They already missed the boat on overexposure.
2- Why do they need a ploy for media coverage? Just waving a teabag on a street corner guarantees 4 networks, 3 appearances on cable, and an editorial.

In related news:
Special guests at the Tea Parties will include:
Alice
the Caterpillar
the Cheshire Cat
the White Rabbit
the Dormouse
Tweedledee and Tweedledum
the Mad Hatters
The Queen of Hearts

There will be a special stage set up for their appearances because the media has to be able to tell them from the regular protesters.

porta-potty rental and all.

With all the shit they fling anyway, who would notice more.

GREAT BIG SIGNS in them saying "Please do not swipe and eat the big mint"

It was from my Alderman and it was advertising a ward meeting. The subject? Cap and Trade. I wondered about this notice but now I realize why he sent it out. He is a republican, although the city wide elections are allegedly non partisan. I have been at odds with this guy a time or two simply because I have had a couple of problems/questions that I wanted to ask him about and he hasn't returned any of my phone calls.
Thanks for the info. I will spread it around, especially in the immediate neighborhood which is largely a Democratic block, save for the Huckabee supporters two houses to the east.

They are merely the ants at the picnic of American politics.

:rofl:

And who's footing the bill?

And of course they will all be giving up their Medicare. :)

There's nothing spontaneous about these groups, they're all orchestrated by corporate interests.
