    Tea Party Update

    Though there is a national tea party day on July 4th, with the WNY event at noon in Niagara Square, I continue to believe that the movement is in danger of losing momentum.

    We can't let that happen. Too much is at stake.

    My goal from the outset three months ago was to produce a plan of action that people could tape to the fridge and personally execute right now.

    That goal was accomplished and the tea party page is shaping up nicely. Be patient. It's a work in progress.

    Here's the key point. No movement to shrink the federal government has succeeded in America since Jefferson's first term.

    That means that first of all, unless we repudiate the big government philosophy that has captured both parties for many, many decades and restore the original founding philosophy of Jeffersonianism, we are doomed.

    For a statement of Jeffersonianism by the man himself, see the Declaration and First Inaugural. For a modern restatement, see this link.

    Second point. Electoral politics is rigged. Therefore, we must use direct citizen action as our primary tool. The 12 point plan does exactly that.

    Point three. You must give people something to do that is productive or they will very quickly burn out. Once again, the 12 point plan has this base covered.

    Finally, our opponents very effectively used the failed Bush Administration and the tea party movement's tenuous ties to the Republican Party against us. To be effective, we must repudiate the Bush Administration and all of its big government works.

    So, the 12 point plan offers the tea party movement exactly what it needs and precisely what it has lacked so far on a national level. If you wish this movement to succeed and save the country from the road to oblivion that Bush/Obama have charted, I urge you to explore it today and start executing it tomorrow.

    *********

    Two more quick points.

    This is a zero budget plan. It is almost impossible to raise large sums of money for political causes that, like this one, would benefit everyone, as opposed to the ease of raising money for special interests. Thus, it is essential that any such plan not require enormous fundraising. We hope to recoup any modest out-of-pocket costs by increased ad revenue from increased traffic to the site.

    A corollary. This plan does not in my view require a huge organization to carry it out. The plan is out there. The plan depends almost entirely on the individual initiative of millions of Patriots. You will figure out the details as you go along. This website (PCD) will serve as a central information source but the rest is up to you. You have no excuses and no reason why you can't get moving right away.

    So you’re still going to waste your time and go down to a VACANT square on a holiday to stand around and stroke each other?

    Suckowski and company gotta be scared to death of you guys…….

    I’m still beginning to wonder if you guys are truly in it to reform government or if you’re actually political operatives put in place by those actually in power to distract any type of REAL REFORM with our state?????

    The 12 point plan has nothing to do with holding a rally. Rather, the rally is a way to promote the plan.

    Have you read the links?

    Are you still buying from companies that bankroll the political class?

    Do you actually think standing out in a vacant square, AGAIN, is putting any fear at all in our elected representatives????

    Just for you, I'll start a new thread....

    Maybe then we'll get an answer....

    You stay here in this thread and keep talking to yourself about your 12 point plan! God knows this thread has been so busy we can't get a word in anyway!
