The taxpayer revolt that began in Seattle as a protest against Barack Obama and his 1.2 trillion dollar pork package called a 'stimulus plan' has gone national. Now known as 'Tea Party U.S.A.,' the protests are now scheduled for dozens of cities across America, and YOU could plan one right here in Columbia, or anywhere else in South Carolina for that matter.
But first, let's get an update from Michelle Malkin, who has been following this grassroots movement since its beginning:
I’m happy to report on several new protest events now on the docket.
My friend Michael Patrick Leahy of Top Conservatives on Twitter and his crew are spearheading “simultaneous local tea parties around the country, beginning in Chicago, and including Washington DC, Fayetteville NC, San Diego CA, Omaha Nebraska, and dozens of other locations” for next Friday.
Be sure to click on Michelle's link for the full information.
More good news has surfaced as Adam Bitely at Net Right Nation has put together a 10-step 'how to' on organizing a 'Tea Party' in your area...even if you have never done anything like this before.
This is especially good news for those in South Carolina who have expressed interest in the growing taxpayer revolt or who may be in a position to organize such a thing. Columbia would be an excellent place for a Tea Party. So would Charleston and Greenville-Spartanburg.
And the wonderful thing about Adam Bitely's primer on organizing tea parties is that he is offering full promotion of the event, including providing full press coverage, for any tea party held in the country. The good folk at Net Right Nation are doing this because they believe in the cause.
Just think...should YOU decide to organize a tea party in Columbia, you would automatically have the benefit of full press coverage by simply contacting Adam Bitely at Net Right Nation. Sounds like a very good deal to me!
So, how 'bout it, folks? Anyone willing to bite the bullet and get this thing off the ground in South Carolina?

At the California Republican Convention in Sacramento, we have been handing out lapel buttons called TEA PARTY II and REMEMBER BOSTON? The delegates have eaten them up. We gave a packet of them to Gov. Mitt Romney who was at the convention. And today there is a vote on whether to require a No-Tax Pledge by Republican candidates.
Splendid! This thing is beginning to catch on in a big way across the country. It could well turn into a national 'peasants with pitchforks' phenomenon demanding that we return to Capitalism and our Constitution!

I see Omaha in several articles as a site for a Tea Party. Can anyone confirm the place for Omaha? Wanting to be apart of this.
Where is the location in Omaha?
@Donald Rae- or anyone else. I live near Sacramento and I am very interested in getting involved- who can I contact to help out?
This is good. We, the majority, are making policy and budgets for the American people. Meanwhile the minority has been reduced to dainty little "tea parties" where they whine and dance around with silly signs. LOL. I guess that's what you do when your power and influence has gone away.
Enjoy the next eight years. And why don't you be a good little conservative and get me a cup while you're at it. I like it sweet. And how sweet it is!
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A TEA PARTY IN STAUNTON, VA AREA ?
THANK YOU MRS. M. CARTWRIGHT
