Dear Readers: I want to take the time to promote my friend’s artistry while I highlight the news summary from my blog patroness, The Achoress. The t-shirt, mugs, pin, buttons, and other items are available at a nominal fee via Cafe Press. This is the absolute best design to capture the spirit of t nationwide protest that is slated for this Friday, Feb. 27th — noon east coast time, and 9:00 am Pacific time.
I am happy to report that the San Diego Tea Party is slated to be heldjust north of the Star of India along San Diego’s beautiful harbor! I would like to thank Dawn Wildman of the Neighboorhood Rebulican Club for organizing this event. For more details or to comment, please go to our locale’s information page on the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party Site, here!
There are so many exciting developments that my post is going to look like a sausage factory!

I strongly recommend that you read these suggestions regarding planning the protest ..

An example: As a professional media producer, here are my concerns:
Incoherent message – the signs were all over the place
Speakers not prepared for the media – the organizer was asked to name some specific objectionable items in the stimulus. She couldn’t do it. I doubt many of us could.
He gives some good advice on what to do. 🙂
I have set up a Facebook page for the San Diego Tea Party: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=67028247575&ref=mf

Sign suggestions?
Liberty or Liber-TEA! Its in our Constitution!
Stop the bail-outs! We can’t afford the TEA!!
Constitution for me! You can have the Tea!!
Don’t limit yourself to the 27th. Get out for that one but this movement must continue. It’s important to realize that the Obamessian says what he (and his pollsters) speculate the sheople want to here. Action talks and BS walks. Look at what the Demoncrat collectivists are doing to the country. PURPOSEFULLY destroying our economy in order to eliminate YOUR freedom. Keep reading here and all of Mut’s partners.

And I’ll take the train, to be green, but moreso to avoid parking hassles.

I got the day off, I’ll be there.
I am unemployed and am so disgusted with everything going on in our Government! What a waste of our money! I can’t wait to attend the San Diego Tea Party! Thank you for organizing this event.
I am also unemployed and will be there! I just heard about this today. I have never attended any type of public demonstration. This seems to be a great place to start. I am going to heed the advice above and review the objectives so I don’t end up looking like some of the folks Leno interviews. See you there.
I am with you all. We are about to witness Obama, the Pied Piper to Depression, move us to be heavily taxed, spending on absurd projects (frisbee parks to refits on Washington DC buildings), and a California State legislature who has passed 30 years of bills that spent more than we made. Enough is enough! Stop the insane spending, cap or reduce taxes, and use legislation strategically (not blanket pork) is the prudent thing to do during these times. What should have been a short recession is deepening and growing because of the Obama Administration’s reckless behavior of spending in the trillions… the trillions! THE TRILLIONS and all in a matter of weeks. Enough of Obama’s Spread the Poverty mentality.
Just found out about this too late. Please inform me if another event is planned. I am disgusted with the reckless, irresponsible course of action that this administration is on. Thanks.
Read your comment on another site about Step 11 for t-shirts. I see you’ve found some. As the hallmark of capitalism is competition, I think these are worth a look. Easy to read from a distance with all-American colors.
