A candidate from “the movement” hopes to take on Nashville’s congressman in the general election.
[...]Nashville gets a mention in an article about the movement’s growing pains:
Tea Party Nation, a for-profit company that runs a social networking website for activists and is now selling tickets — at $560 a pop — to what it’s billing as the “First National Tea Party Convention,” has also [...]

The tea party working on slowly destroying itself:
Disagreements over those issues have spawned personal and institutional rivalries, at least one highly contentious lawsuit and — perhaps most significantly — resulted in the splintering of local, regional and national groups into a patchwork of hundreds of smaller groups that occasionally [...]
If you’d think that the self-appointed leader of tea partiers in Nashville wouldn’t want to predict the preferences of a large, diverse and centralized movement, you be wrong:
“We plan to be very involved in the governor’s race,” says Phillips, adding that they’ll be using the group’s Internet presence as [...]
The convention will take place February 4 thru February 6 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel:
Tea Party Nation is pleased to announce the First National Tea Party Convention. The convention is aimed at bringing the Tea Party Movement leaders together from around the nation for the purpose of networking [...]
Adrienne Royer on tea party protest chic:
Do you look like a protest whore for wearing t-shirts commemorating previous protests? I disagree here. I think it shows your commitment. If you are a professional protester, chances are you fall into the “deranged” camp. Plus, the right doesn’t have professional protesters [...]
Donald has started the We the People Hawkins County Tea Party. Check out their Facebook page and join.
To Take the cause of FREEDOM and Following the CONSTITUTION of the united STATES to all our county and city elected officials.It is Time “We the People” stand up and take [...]
From the Miami Herald:
As many as 1,000 people attended former Vice President Al Gore’s Going Green presentation on climate change Saturday evening, while more than 100 demonstrators gathered at Mizner Park to protest his appearance.
The rally included members of the conservative Tea Party and those who dispute Gore’s views [...]

Rep. Marsha Blackburn on the amount of new right-wing radicals who are women:
“You know what is so interesting about the TEA Party movement?” Blackburn asked. “The amazing thing to me about the TEA Parties is, when you look out across the crowd, the crowd is predominantly female… It’s amazing, [...]
“You have these ppl getting on national television saying ‘We’re the head of the national tea party,’ and now you have these guys saying, ‘We’re the head of the Florida tea party.’ There’s no such thing,” said Henry Kelley, the vice chairman of the Fort Walton Tea [...]
From Andy Humbles:
At one point the crowd chanted “kill that bill” when the debate on health-care reform in Washington, D.C., was mentioned from the stage.
Signs in the crowd included:
• “Stop the spending or you’re fired!!!”
• “No to the healthcare bill.”
• “Congress you work for us.”
• “Born free — taxed [...]
Tea Party rally set for today in Nashville
The conservative group Tea Party Nation plans to hold a rally in Nashville today from 11 a.m. until about 1:30 p.m. at the east side of the Capitol building, voicing opposition to the scheduled health-care vote in Washington this weekend.
Speakers will include [...]
ABC Radio reports something like "Republicans held an anti-healthcare reform protest on the Capitol steps." Turns out it was 10,000 tea party protesters. Those must be some steps.
A 40 year old Major with a very-clearly-middle-eastern name kills over a dozen and wounds over 30 in a Gun Free Zone filled [...]
Adrienne Royer on yet another tea party:
Today, I watched in amazement as thousands of Americans descended on Capitol Hill. Why was it so incredible?
The call for the rally only happened last Friday.
I remember seeing the email announcing it and thinking, “That’ll be a good event. Maybe a few hundred [...]
But some conservative bloggers think that’s okay:
First, the GOP now must recognize it will either lose without conservatives or will win with conservatives. In 2008, many conservatives sat home instead of voting for John McCain. Now, in NY-23, conservatives rallied and destroyed the Republican candidate the establishment chose.
