Will the Tea Parties Be a Moment Quickly Forgotten...
or the Start of Something Big?
Adam Waldeck, the Tea Party coordinator for American Solutions,
reported that the Tax Day Tea Party effort organized in at least
850 sites, with more than one million people all told.
An impressive showing, especially considering that the elite
media virtually ignored the movement, no big donor or
organization was behind it, and right and center-right leaning
Americans generally have jobs and lack the professional protest
and "community organizing" prowess and funding of the left.
Still, David Axelrod, President Obama's chief strategist, said
on CBS's "Face the Nation" last Sunday that the Tea Party
movement was potentially "unhealthy."
So what does this movement really mean? Will the 2009 Tax Day
Tea Parties be a brief moment in time quickly forgotten or
the beginning of something big?
...
July 4 May Tell the Story
... if the Tea Parties prove to be a one-time event
they will probably not matter.
But if the Tea Party movement is the beginning of a
larger, broader and deeper dialogue about the future
of America then they will matter a great deal.
People are wondering what they can do next...
Contact your representatives in Washington and urge
them to oppose the big spending, big deficits, big
government, big taxes, and big debt Obama Budget.
Then, we should make July 4, 2009 "American Freedom
Day." Tea Party activists across America should plan
to go out and recruit supporters from every Fourth
of July celebration in their community.
If one million freedom-loving Americans work from
now to July 4, the size of the Tea Party movement will
grow dramatically.
As Tea Party leaders around the country email, chat,
and call each other, they should learn the lessons from
this past week and begin laying plans to make July 4, 2009
a day that goes down as a decisive turning point in the
history of defending freedom.
Your friend,
Newt Gingrich
