A few thoughts on organizing Tea Parties

logo

As I monitor comments on the state organizing websites, every so often someone expresses frustration such as:

How about information for a Tea Party in or around Columbus on the 15th. This is the capitol for crying out loud. There needs to be more publicity about the events going on I just stumbled on this by accident. I’m sure if more people knew, there would be greater participation.

As a reminder:

  • The organizers of these events are unpaid volunteers, many doing this for the first time.
  • There is no one whose job it is to do outreach.  Any outreach that is getting done is being done by unpaid volunteers who are freely giving of their time.
  • If you see a job that isn’t getting done, volunteer to do it.
  • In most cases, this means that you just start doing it…like everyone else here.
  • However, if others in your area are already working together, it’s a good idea to get in touch to arrange for a division of labor and to avoid re-duplication.

    Looks like the Tea Parties will get just the stimulus they need. Yes folks, Congress is considering yet another theft from US Taxpayers.
    BTW I love your blog!
