Dear Readers: I am forwarding this totally brilliant idea from Tea Party Patriots. We are planning to generate videos, along the lines of the famous “I am Spartacus” moment in that epic movie. Tea Party Patriots is calling for I Am The Tea Party Leader Videos (click here for details).
The details:
According to Andrew Breitbart, Bill Clinton and James Carville are planning personal ‘deep opposition research on 7-8 national leaders’ active in the tea party movement.
It is un-American and morally wrong for a former president to attack Americans who have gotten involved in the political system.
It was Thomas Jefferson who said, “when the people fear the government there is tyranny”.
What they still don’t understand is that this is a leaderless movement, this is a ‘We The People…’ movement. This site is a chance for ‘We The People’ to stand up and say that ‘I Am The Tea Party Leader’.
Participation is easy, here is how.
1. Watch the Spartacus video first
2. Shoot a video of yourself saying only the following words, “I am the tea party leader.”
3. Upload the video to YouTube
4. Click here to share your videoPlease note, videos which contain more or different language will not be approved.
The Young Prince will be shooting mine tonight! I may have to add a bit of belly-dancing to the clip! 🙂
UPDATE: Here is my video contribution. Many thanks to the Young Prince, who has real potential as a film director (or perhaps an undercover Tea Party investigator). Note I am in PJs and in front of my computer agitating – just a typical Friday night.
And, my assistant!
Clinton and Carville might be interested in knowing he was sent to the principal’s office in kindergarten for fighting!
A complete compilation of videos can be found by clicking HERE! Awesome!
UPDATE: Instapudit has a link to the Tea Party Patriots site! 🙂
UPDATE 2: The Liberator Today has another take on the concepts I express in my post: There are NO TEA PARTY LEADERS! Please read his analysis: Apaches, Aztecs and Tea Parties.

I say let them have at it! They’ll be playing into the same situation that created the Tea Party movement in the first place. First of all there are organizers and group leaders but there are no leaders per se. There are politicians that are active. There are spokespersons for different factions. There are citizens that make speeches. There are bloggers that spread the word. What are they going to do… “Palinize” us? Every time they disparage and go after Sarah Palin she becomes stronger and gets to show off her guts, courage, she gets to illustrate to all what real class is, and her support grows exponentially. Bring it on!
Excellent videos. It’s so funny that our “competition” continues to attempt to define or find a leader of a pure nationwide grass movement. They really don’t get it. Keep up the good fight.
Signed,
Spartacus
Temple Goddess, (is that the correct appellation?) Thank you for linking to my little trafficked and inconsistent blog. I appreciate the work you do to advance the cause of freedom.
By the way, that Spartacus moment is called out in Peter Senge’s excellent book, The Fifth Discipline. I read that excerpt this week in my online class, “Leadership for the Information Age.” Interestingly, “The Starfish and the Spider” excerpts were also required reading for the course. It is part of a curriculum of on-line classes at the National Defense University. Who’d have thought that the federal government would be teaching principles that help shape a movement antithetical to some of its aims? It is also ironic that a humble civil servant such as myself is a member of the Tea Party.
[…] Mut have yet a different approach to the movement’s tenants. They have been around longer, have young women leaders (or unleaders) and are very much trying to break through the leaden strategies of their El Cajon […]
