Green Day ~ Know Your Enemy (Lyrics). Tea Part anthem?
I have liked Green Day ever since they had their break out American Idiot album back in 2004. Even though it was anti-most of what I stood for I still thought it was catchy and good music. This song should be the rallying cry for the Tea Party movement I think. Because after all, us young ones are the ones REALLY getting screwed by what's going on in DC now. Here are the lyrics and FYI I will promise to update the blog more often from now on.
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
3x
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Violence is an energy
Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control
Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
2x
The insurgency will rise
When the bloods been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies
In your eyes
Violence is an energy
From here to eternity
Violence is an energy
Silence is the enemy
So gimme gimme REVOLUTION !
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy
3x
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control
Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul

Update...
Ok apparently due to the fact I signed up on a tea party websites I have been contacted by close to 100 people including Michele Bachmann's schedule aide. To my current knowledge the Tea Party is from 3-6pm outside the state capitol. I will post more information as it becomes available to me. Sorry for the late update everyone, I will post more about devlopments tomorrow.

Our Friends in Cincy succeed! Estimated 5000 show!
This is very encouraging. What started as a rant on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Floor has reached mainstreet. To my knowledge this is the largest tea party yet. The April 15th ones will be huge and I hope any July 4th ones will be massive. By then the MSM will HAVE to start covering this, we will be too big of a movement to ignore. I will also try to contact the cincinatti organizers to see what they did exactly to get people to show.

what we can do...
1. Pick a location, date and time in your town. I’d suggest main street at an intersection with lots of traffic.
2. Tell your friends, family, co-workers and everyone else you know about the protest. Build an rsvp email list so that you can provide quick updates if something changes. You should also create a facebook group so that the group can communicate with one another.
3. Make 5-10 signs with legible slogans that send a clear message to the public and the media. Write in BIG LETTERS.
4. Call your local talk radio hosts and ask them to announce the location, date and time on the air for a few days leading up to the protest. Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper announcing the protest. Email the bloggers in your area and ask them to post a notice about the protest.
5. Write a press release and email, mail and fax copies to the local tv stations, radio stations and newspapers. Call the reporters that cover local events or politics and leave messages on their voice mail.
6. On the day of your protest, show up with your group, be loud, visible, happy and engage the public. Wave your signs, make lots of noise and move around to get attention. If reporters interview you, give them some good sound bytes for their stories. Stay on message and keep your answers short and coherent.
7. Bring sign-in sheets to capture the names, emails and phone numbers of everyone who attends the protest and/or says that they support what you are doing. You will then have a big list of people that can plan the next, much bigger and louder, event. Also bring handouts with one page of quick facts about why you are protesting in the first place.
8. Add your pictures, video and an after-action report to your facebook group, and send this stuff to the bloggers and reporters that you originally contacted. Ask them to post the photos, story and video.
9. Thank everyone who attended via email and phone, and set up a meeting to plan your next event. Now you have a list of people in your community that can help make the next protest huge. Encourage everyone to commit to bring at least one friend to the next protest.
10. Organize a carpool and go find a friend in your neighboring town or county and help them organize a protest there. You and your people are now veterans and should be able to keep the momentum going around your area.
