Alex Snitker Constitution Day Speech
Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Alex Snitker speaks to around 5,000 members of 11 tea party groups at the Tea Party Network’s Forward to the Constitution Day Rally on 9/18/2010 in St. Augustine, Florida. Snitker spoke shortly after rival Marco Rubio, just one day after being excluded from the Senatorial debate in Miami. Snitker spent all day greeting and speaking with tea party members, while Rubio arrived minutes before his speech and left immediately afterword.
TEA Parties go Global
T.E.A. Taxed Enough Already seems to be catching on. Inspired by common sense Americans, TEA parties have started in Australia, UK, Italy and the Netherlands. And the left thought they had the market cornered on worldly views.
Welcome to the Australian T.E.A. Party MovementWho are we?We are NOT a political party indeed we are Non Party Political choosing to support or oppose whoever best helps the ideas and beliefs of our movement regardless of their party affiliation.

Can the Tea Party Movement be of benefit to you? It really is very simple.
We ask 2 basic questions.
What is, and what should be the role of government in the economy?
What is, and what should be the role of government in peoples lives?If you think that the answers to what is vs what should be are very different-
Then you are a natural Tea Party Movement supporter.Do you feel that you have lost your voice?
Has government and entrenched elites become the master and not the servant?
Do you feel that many of these elites are in both major political parties?

Since its launch its February, the TEA party movement of the UK have gone from strength to strength. Campaigning for libertarian principles of limited government and lower taxes, TEA party activists were initially critical of the Labour government, but now with tax increases in the budget, the current coalition government is also facing some backlash.
“Activists are hold a rally at next month’s Conservative party conference in Birmingham at which criticism of Coalition policies will be aired.
A British division, launched last year by The Freedom Association, has held events including a “Boston tea party” in Boston, Lincs.
It has joined forces with the Taxpayers’ Alliance pressure group, which is being advised by Freedom Works, a large Washington-based political group that backs Tea Party candidates.”

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 be 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.
