Meet Christie Carden, Tea Party organizer in Alabama
Christie Carden is organizing April 15 Tea Party events in Alabama.
Here’s our e-interview with Christie.
What is motivating you to organize a Tea Party?
Our freedoms are at stake, our economy is at stake, our quality of life is at stake, our very safety (from global threats) is at stake. Right now we are deciding what our country’s foundation will be: limited government and Capitalism or big government and Socialism.
How are you reaching out to people to let them know about your event?
Asking facebook RSVP’ers to invite people, asking local groups to spread the word, and we will be sending our press releases to all of our local media.
When did you decide to get involved?
After I attended the Nashville Nationwide Chicago Tea Party, I heard about the second Tea Party coming up and wanted to see one in my own city.
Is anything about this hard?
The hardest part for me so far has been getting the permit.
What would you say to someone who is considering becoming an organizer?
It’s not as hard as you think. Follow the “How to Guide” suggestions on the nationwide website, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. You’re not alone, and people will join you to help out.

Bush and others who abandoned our conservative principles are in large part responsible for the road we’re pummeting down at break-neck speed. At this point, however, I’m less worried about who supported Bush or “who started it” than I am about letting our voices be heard before the country goes so far down the socialist path that we can’t turn back. Now is the time for those of us who dissent to stand up and fight for the principles on which this country was founded. If we don’t act now, it may be too late. I heard about the Tea Parties on February 27, and I’m excited about going to one near my home. This is the Second American Revolution, and the more people who show up to protest our out-of-control government, the better our chances of affecting a change.
