For those of you in large cities with lots of Ron Paul friends:

Ron Paul is being glossed over by the main stream media as being the 'fringe', 'second-tier', 'non-electable' candidate. We know that's not true. So, let's have a Boston Tea-V Party. The plan...set a date nationwide (4th. of July). Pick up every used TV you can, at garage sales, second hand stores, etc. In the spirit of the Boston Tea Party, set up a staged event where the Ron Paul Patriots come together in one high-profile place and 'dump' all these Tea-V's into one massive heaping pile. After the symbolic point is made, a dump truck with signs all over it saying, "Dump the Main Stream Media" will symbolically receives the sets after they served their purpose. Ok, I'm lacking sleep...it's just an idea.

Word...My wife and I are so stoked. I've donated twice so far and most likely will again.

I want this to happen. I want America given back to "The People" and I want to be a part of this. For almost a year now I've been telling my friends that we need a "Tea Party"...I like Tea...;) :D

okay okay i'll bite :

option #1 some sort of new "Iowa" tea party
option #2 some major stars and or politicians endorse him at the rally outside.
option #3 a big name endorses paul and becomes his running mate
option #4 all of the above


May the patriots rise up and overthrow the tyranny that has befallen our great country!
A Boston Tea party anyone?

Hey guys the revolution is spreading ,
Cigar Dave was in a furry that the Dem's are trying to raise cigar taxes 20,000% (yes 20,000%) which would increase the retail price of the cigar x3 (basically a $5 cigar becomes a $15 and a $15 cigar becomes $45). While on the Jerry Doyle show Cigar Dave said that it was time to start a revolution and we needed a Boston Tea Party. He also used the Jefferson quote about needing a revolution every 200 years. He is even starting a website www.tampateaparty.com to protest government taxation. Here is the platform of his website;

YES to fair, low taxes!
YES to strict term limits!
YES to clean sheet zero-based budgeting!
YES to eliminating the pork!
YES to eliminating the IRS!
YES to ending cushy government pensions!
YES to eliminating bureaucracy!
YES to eliminating political parties!
YES to securing the borders!
YES TO RECLAIMING AMERICA AS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND LAND OF OPPORTUNITY!

I've got an idea-The Boston Tea Party took place on Dec. 16. We could do another event on that date in Boston. The Boston Tea Party for Ron Paul. It's a way to focus on Ron Paul's tax message.

I just think we need to focus effort on one place at a time to make sure we do an event that sends a strong and consistent message. (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=130047&postcount=51)

I LOVE IT

RON PAUL TEA PARTY!!

Of course, we might all be portrayed as terrorists by the MSM. But if that is the case, the average American would think the media was crazy.

Might get a few more people to realize that there is a revolution going on!

Lets have a modern day tea party, eh?

Time to start protesting outside of Faux news... or taking over their broadcast trucks.
now you're making sense!!!! that is a revolution. That is the boston tea party!!

Take down Faux news infrastructure instead of just rolling over and taking the propaganda machine. Their insurance rates may go up.

have Dr Paul lead a rally in front of the IRS with say 1,000 + supporters demanding an end to the income tax. Something like the Boston Tea Party.

A bond fire burning the damn tax code.

Why not the Boston Tea Party anniversary (December 16)?

The media would have a field day with this November 5 idea, saying Ron Paul supporters are in favor of violent revolution via means of murder and blowing up buildings...not that I'm saying you shouldn't do it, but be ready. (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=277047&postcount=76)

I'm down for another $100 on December 16th too! (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=281986&postcount=211)

10-17-2007, 01:05 PM

Haha, we can make the Tea Party December's theme! (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=281990&postcount=212)

10-17-2007, 01:10 PM

Yeah I agree, the Boston Tea Party will be done in December, but for that one we should go for $50 donations from people because we would probably end up with way more people willing to donate $50 than $100, so it would probably be even more successful and get more attention after we have done it once in November.

You guys should do one for December 16th.. Boston Tea Party Day...

Its an oldie but still a goodie.

We all dress up like Indians before we donate! (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=300071&postcount=47)

Boston Tea Party all the way! This is a revolution!:D:D:D

10-24-2007, 10:57 AM

I think we should be in the planning stages for the Boston Tea Party money bomb for December. The sooner the word gets out on it the better.

While I'm not sure if the 5th of November is going to get 100,000 people to commit, it is showing to be a huge success. We can learn from this experience, and what I got from it is to project this idea well in advance so it can reach as many people as possible.

What are your opinions??

Yep, thanks for this. I heard an interview with Kate Zemike, NYT reporter, who just wrote a book "Boiling Mad" about the Tea Party Movement. She says it began when Rick Santelli mentioned it on CNBC last year. Wrong-o. Wonder if she asked Rick where he got the idea from?

From the storied archives of The John Birch Society (http://www.jbs.org/)...

Robert Welch's bulletin of February 28, 1959 to chapter leaders in the greater Boston area of the newly formed John Birch Society:

Sidebar: Longtime members of The John Birch Society (http://www.jbs.org/) are really having some fun with their friends and neighbors, who suddenly want to hear what we've been saving for over half a century. Having gone from vilification to vindication, our members are now spending their days sounding like the Verizon pitch man, "Can you hear me now?"

They're the reason for the modern Tea Party movement?

Were they planning back in 1959 to have rallies in 2007?

The John Birch Society has been planting the seeds of liberty for over 50 years.

The "modern" Tea Parties started with Alex Jones back in 1998.

Great work putting together this thread! I've been looking for those posts, with no luck. This sure brigs back some good memories. BTW I was a lurker, and supporting Ron Paul long before I signed up.

It seems that I remember being on two sites for forums for Ron Paul. It seems that I remember that one of them went through a major change. Did the Daily Paul used to resemble this sites forums? I can remember reading Sarah Palin's posts in a Ron Paul forum; but I haven't been able to find them in this forum.

YouTube - The Original Tea Party Movement 1998 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TurFjSwujIg)

When we arranged the Boston Tea Party four years ago, Alex Jones' base (The Truth Movement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVNEITZUhEM&feature=related)) graciously allowed us the use of Faneuil Hall which they had booked for their Tea Party reenactment by throwing the whitewashed 9/11 Commission Report into the harbor.
