It has been many moons since sitting down at a tea-party with my little friends (at the time), although it is that type of comity and friendship that brings people together in times like these.
Governor Schwarzenegger’s remarks about the Tea-Parties disappearing are not hard to believe. The reason is because people think that this is a one-time frustration with the system, and as most humans (and Americans) operate, that frustration soon goes away (or we become complacent).
However, it would be great to prove the people wrong who think that the Tea-Party movement will just “go away.” The reason is that the movement is not about politics – it is about our RESPONSIBILITY as Americans, as constituents, and as consumers. It is about EVERYTHING, and because WE THE PEOPLE are the foundation of this great Country, we cannot just “stop” when things look good. We must continue to be vigilant, and never go back to the complacency that got us here in the first place.
How do you organize a Tea Party? Well, we keep the grass-roots activism alive, you support grass-roots organizations, and you support local media outlets that are dedicated to the cause. And, you don’t stop. Ever.
