Has anyone else read this article that TEA PARTY protesters were filmed by the FBI?

I hope this doesn't prove to be true. It would be quite sad.

Agreed. There needs to be a bigger effort and the pressure applied must be constant.

Yes, of course you all are right! This should only be the beginning. We shall make them hear us from sea to sea!

I AM FUMING MAD!!!

1) The media dismisses the tea parties and use people in their audio/video clips that try to explain this as a passing fad or that the movement is made up of stupid people.

2) Democrats are saying its a Republican movement and that is it fringe/right wing.

3) Republicans are using this as a propaganda tool. Republicans are just as much to blame (just look at the report that came out this week saying that last year's pork was 40% from the Republicans).

This is about WE THE PEOPLE... not Democrats... not Republicans... not Independents... We are ALL mad about the idiotic fiscal policies of our government and how far off track things have gotten.

Will these tea parties have any *real* effect? I still feel like I'm spinning my wheels and feel like no one gets it except us but no one will take us seriously.

We can't let this movement die. It must grow. It must continue to put pressure on all of the bureaucrats and politicians. We must take our country back!

A bump to the top.

THE LIBERTY TREE:
For the 3rd Tea Parties that are scheduled for July 4th, it might be nice to re-start the old American tradition of the Liberty Pole/Tree (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Pole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Tree) as a powerful symbol at the rally. It would be nice to have them for the 15th but I don't think there would be enough time for city tea party leaders to organize a pole construction/set up. Anyhow, if you don't know about what they represented, please read through the two links.
