I wouldn't go with the " inflation tax"
on the site. ( or mention anything about the fed. Accountability of where taxes go or taxation w/o representation might be better
because
The central banks are far too powerful and can and likely will stop this movement. ( or worse)
I just wouldn't cross the line

Hello,
The TeaParty07.com site was slightly changed a few hours ago, but now it doesn't look right in Firefox or Opera - the text on the parchment is too much to the right, so the right side of the text is hidden by the black background. Internet Explorer is fine.

If you don't like the "inflation tax" as the reason for our rebellion on the 16th, please vote NO in this poll http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=34716
I personally think we should appeal to winning issues such as income taxation or the Iraq War. The voting masses don't care about the "inflation tax" and this is how CNN will report the day when it comes.
"Ron Paul fans rebel against inflation tax" rather than "Ron Paul fans rebel against income tax and Iraq war"

Ok, now that we have it all ironed out - how do we promote this thing? I say we all do nothing but work on getting out the word to every Ron Paul supporter on any bloody website there is.
I heard Myspace is totally taken care of? Is that true? Who needs help for what? Someone write a message, tell me where and how to send it and let's all get going! Ok?
I don't know how to send messages to facebook and the others. Give me marching orders. Let's get other volunteers. We have a month to make history.
Send letters to the editor. Write articles. Someone please organize a dozen things for us all to do. PM me with instructions.
Plus, I am sure there are a lot more Myspace names now so let's make sure we catch all of them. And the Meetup groups. Has anyone found a way to contact them all yet or do we have to do that thing where we all can only send out 25 messages per month so we need 50 plus accounts? If so, I will create ten accounts and hit the first 250 group leaders. If that is what you want me to do. Someone say the word. We need someone to organize it or we will be stepping all over each other's toes.

Who the hell is RonPaulLiberty? I just this second got an email sending me to the wrong website and to a buried Digg story. Whoever the hell you are, stop it. It looks like spam and you are freaking people out! The buried digg story says this is a scam.

One issue? Inlfation tax?
Talk about what people can understand
1.) income tax ( tax spending accountability)
2.) defending the constitution and our liberty

I don't think the Iraq war is worthy of mention in this, as it doesn't have historical context to the Boston Tea Party.
A tax, the income tax, is a hard concrete and popular position which will go over well with Republicans and is not as esoteric as the inflation tax. Even Republicans who despise Ron Paul on foriegn policy and such will say, 'well but I have to say I like his position on getting rid of the IRS'.
Media coverage of Dec. 16 Tea Party plans
If you google Boston Tea Party, a couple of items come up in the results that mention these fundraiser plans.
Paul raises fund-raiser bar
The "money bomb" detonated by Ron Paul's supporters this week was such a huge fund-raising success that his backers are already planning others, including one with a Boston connection.
The one on Tuesday raised $4.2 million in online contributions from nearly 37,000 people - a one-day record for a Republican presidential candidate - and resulted in the biggest explosion of publicity yet for Paul, a Texas congressman. It was timed with Guy Fawkes Day, which in England marks the anniversary of a failed plot in 1605 to blow up Parliament.
A donation day in the works will be tied to another historical event - the Boston Tea Party on Dec. 16, 1773.
Paul supporter websites are promoting a "Liber-tea brewing in America" event.
Paul is trying to raise $12 million this quarter so he can buy TV time and compete in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. By last night, he had brought in more than $7.7 million of that goal.

They have something even bigger on the horizon, however. In 35 days, they're going to brew some tea and have a tea party. In celebration of the 234th anniversay of the Boston Tea Party, donors are lining up once again to make a big fundraising splash. Once again, the goal is 100,000 donors each giving $100 for a total of $10,000,000 in one-day donations. Once again, the campaign is off to a rousing start. With 35 days to go, they already have nearly 4,400 donors signed up, ready to participate as of early in the day on November 11th.
It remains to be seen whether they will be able to garner the 1,000 committed donors per day that the 5th of November drive acquired, but if they do, it will mean another massive cash drop into the Paul campaign coffers. That would probably give them close to $5 million in one day and would push the Paul campaign well past their 4th quarter goal of $12 million. It also means that we will be able to expect a lot more big drive days during the first month of 2008.

A donation day in the works will apparently be tied to another historical event -- the Boston Tea Party on Dec. 16, 1773, when patriots dumped tea into Boston Harbor to protest taxation without representation. Paul campaign spokeswoman Kerri Price said she had no official confirmation of the event because it is being organized entirely by volunteers.

Paul’s spokeswoman can’t confirm that this is actually happening, since it’s being arranged by supporters and not the campaign itself, but it sounds like a great idea. What is more synonymous with the American Revolution than the Boston Tea Party?

Ok, so where do we send the messages and how do we stop RonPaulLiberty who is spamming all Ron Paul supporters? His message is doing a lot of harm because it points to a digg story that says that teaparty07.org is a fake site and is designed to scam you out of your money.
Now, I KNOW that the .org site sends you to the .com site so they shouldn't be so scared, but they didn't know that at the time. And if you hit that digg link this idiot is emailing everyone it says that he is a con artist and not to donate and it is making us all look terrible.
How can we get that person to stop hurting the cause. I know they didn't mean to, but it is a terrible email to send out to every supporter.

But the minimum order is 5000. Idk maybe meetup groups could split up an order, like my meetup group for this county could split an order with the meetup group in another county if they wanted some too I guess. 5000 just seems like a tremendous amount though.

Here is the wiki about this historic day:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
So clicked on this thread looking for a link to www.teaparty07.com and I found one... but it doesnt go to the correct website.
IT IS MISSING A "T" !!
Somebody needs to change this... instead we are directing people to www.teapary07.com
keep spreading the word. when you think you've done enough, do more! remember there we're only 18'000+ that signed up before Nov 5th and ended up with around 37,000. Not everyone is going to sign up but as long as the word gets out thats all that matters.

It is easy to get member of my meetup to join in on this. However I am trying to spread the word out to general family and friends. I know many of them are potential donors, even though they are not hard core ron paul supporters. However it would be easier to get the general population to sign up on this if it was an overall tax revolt (income tax, deficit spending, and declining dollar) rather than just "inflation" tax. the regular population does not get it. I realize at this point people are going to do what they want, but some simple changes in wording in my opinion would help open this up to more people. In my opinion the goal is to get the most people and the most money on this day, not to educate people. The money raised can be used for educating people.
