Atlanta Tea Party Canceled
Speaking of JustPlainFedUp. I’m about fed up with people going overboard with trying to capitalize on the Tea Party efforts. It’s one thing to have some small well placed ads as long as it’s obvious that they are ads. It does help offset the cost of running a site but some people tend to get carried away and I beleive some Tea Party sites are completely fake. I’m not saying that about Atlanta but here we have a big city (imagine that) like Atlanta canceling their Tea Party 2 weeks before the event. How long have we had to prepare people? 2 months isn’t enough to make sure the location is secured? Nice. Oh and the Atlanta Tea Party site has almost every possible form of “fund raising” too. Google ads, Zazzle, PayPal Button, ChipIn button and selling a video of the April 15th Atlanta Tea Party.
Tea party Shirts $16.95-$33.95
April 15th Video $12.95
And they’ve raised $3,815 in donations.
Oh and their running on blogger.com too so the site hosting is free. Such a deal. Now they will be piggy backing on the Cobb County Tea Party. Atlanta was going to beĀ Sat. the 4th 7:00pm at “the old Macy’s Parking Lot. Guess what they found out? Someone owns that private property. Naa, ya don’t say. Its’ not Simon Malls as they thought and the actual owner doesn’t want to have anything political on the property. (Here’s a hint, even if it was Simon Malls it’s still private property. Unless the Government owns them too now.) Nor did the real owner like the term “protest”. Everyone else is getting permits to have the Tea Parties in a public place and paying for the permits. Not in the parking lot of a vacant store. Well hopefully Atlanta Tea Party people will give some of those thousands of dollars to the Cobb County folks because they don’t sell anything on their site. They do have a donation link and so far they’ve got $5.00. So here again the prepared, rural folks are bailing out the not so prepared, city people. We’re friggin doomed.
