When:
Sunday, December 16, 2007, 1:00 PM 20071216T210000Z
Where:
3rd Street Promenade
3rd St. and Wilshire
Santa Monica , CA 90401
* Info/Map
Description:
We're having a tea party...a Boston Tea Party re-enactment Santa Monica 2007 style!
As we raise an unprecedented $10 Million (or more!) in a single day the media will be abuzz with the news as it develops. What an opportunity to reach people! Should we be hunkered behind our screens watching the total grow--or should we be out on the street celebrating and reaching people with the Freedom Message? You know the answer! Not only will we have a prime opportunity to share the excitement of the Ron Paul Revolution with the American people, we will also have a HUGE opportunity to get attention from local news media.
The Santa Monica Tea Party will start at the beginning of 3rd Street Promenade and will end at Santa Monica Pier. We will get wood crates and stencil them to symbolize that which we want to "throw overboard": "Big Government", "Welfare State", "Warfare State", "IRS", "Federal Reserve", "North American Union"...and so on. The crates can be creatively decorated with symbols that are relevant to the item. We could put dead dried leaves in the crates to symbolize tea and the dead, old past that we are "throwing overboard". We will have a procession through the Promenade and down to the Pier with a banner that says: "Santa Monica Tea Party, Vote for Ron Paul!". At the pier we will have a ceremony, saying a few words about each item that we want to throw overboard before symbolically emptying the contents into the sea to the cheers of the assembled patriots.
The visual quality of the re-enactment ceremony will be very appealing to the news media, who will be looking for something to accompany the reports of over $10 Million being raised by Ron Paul supporters.
We can also have a wireless laptop present to keep us up to date on the totals and also for people to make donations right there on the spot!
There will also be servings of hot LiberTea for everyone!
We will be promoting this plan nationally.
We need a creative team to work on the crates. Please volunteer!!
