Tea Party Reporting


Huffpo is asking people to report on April 15th TeaParties.  I have volunteered, and was surprised to note the large number of speakers scheduled for Charlottesville this Wednesday (including my neighbor, Lawrence Eagleburger).  To find out what was scheduled, I just went to Google and after a few false starts, got the agenda for 3 - 6 pm this Wednesday.

I recently got a digital voice recorder, and already have a digital camera.  I am planning to cover this event INCOGNITO.   I would invite all TPMer's to check out local events and report on them.

What drove me to this, was a clip of burn the books.

You go CVille! I'll try to monitor what's going down in my neighborhood on Wed. as well, though I'm a bit conflicted, as I don't want to have so many of the 'rest of us' show up that we inflate the crowd estimates.

Good point.

The correct term is "teabagging parties".

If you go, try asking the participants why they like "teabagging parties" so much. And then post the video clips to YouTube.

I remember Lawrence Eagleburger as being an old-school republican and a fairly sane man. I'm surprised to hear he's been rooked into this.

Bio

The first thing I did when I turned 16 was go out and apply for a passport. I've travelled widely, and lived in Europe for a while. I have 3 children; 23 (girl) 19 (boy twins), and after staying home with them for 17 years, I went back to nursing 3 years ago. It was hard to find someone to hire me, but I am in a wonderful office (infertility, ivf, etc) and work with great people.
