The word tea party brings up many images.
A group of ladies sitting in a Victorian Parlor with cup of tea in their hands.
A group of American Patriots, dressed as Indians, throwing boxes of tea into Boston Harbor.
And now it stands for a group of Americans protesting the economic and spending bills that the Democratic Congress is imposing on us.
Building upon the success of the February 27th "Chicago Tea Party" Rallies, many of the organizers are now working to develop an even larger day of protests set to happen on April 15th, 2009.Here is some video from the Tea Parties that have been held so far all over the United States.
These protests are known as the Tax Day Tea Party rallies.
Our goal with this website is to try and help pull a lot of the Tea Party event organization in to one easy to navigate and user friendly place on the web. We learned, after much feedback, that one of the biggest frustrations was the difficulty in finding information. Our hope is that this website will solve a lot of these problems.
This April on Tax Day (April 15) there will be Tea Parties being held all over the US. Click here to find the Party in your area. If there isn't one being held in your area, you could host one yourself at your local post office (it is a Federal facility and may be the only Federal facility in your area.
You can learn more at Tax Day Tea Party.
This posting will remain on top until April 16. Scroll Down for more recent posts.

Hope it goes really well and you folks get some changes that you can believe in from your servants in office.
lets hope this helps Katie!
I really admire, and am grateful for, all the local activists that are making these gatherings possible.
This must keep growing and growing! At last some real activism from the right side.
I may end up going to one!!
This may be the one, greatest thing to happen in the country for a long time.

Hope it has some results and draws attention to the cause.
The Grouch at Right Truth just put up a post about taxes. These TEA parties are the start of something big, I can feel it.

yes indeed--and this is what the Right needs, urgently.
But of course, unlike leftists, those of us on the right merely want to be left alone, to enjoy freedom. We have no desire to dictate to others how they should lead their lives, which makes us lousy activists.
I found out today that over 2,000 people are expected in the little city of Syracuse, NY. It's a blue city, no less. I can't wait! My hubby and I both took the day off and we're going to help the organizers of the event. Sorry lefties, we won't just shut up!
Happy and blessed Easter to you and yours.
