Who Started The Modern Day Tea Party Movement? (video)

Feel free to point out our Tea Party Festivities archive. Almost 20k posts about the Tea Party that were posted from 12/15/2007 to 12/17/2007.

Also 10k Tea Party weekend planning posts here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/forumdisplay.php?244-Tea-Party-Weekend-12-15-16-Planning

I think it's time we started setting history straight. It's like the $6 Million Tea Party never happened.

His name should be in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, in my opinion. If not that, his name should at least be the first one mentioned; not at the end of a list of four people.

There's no doubt that that page gets a ton of traffic.

Just plastered this on Bachmann's facebook, and a local Bachmannesque Tea Party radio host here in St. Louis.
 
Note: not wanting to try to steal credit. Great post in the comments section over at Daily Paul with more videos to spread.

Thanks, very nice. I'll add this to my collection. Sometimes I post the whole thing on threads arguing the issue and the discussion pretty much ends. Maybe others will find it useful. Some are really entertaining! (NOTE: If you've never seen "Ron Paul: 300 (Electoral Votes)" or "Ron Paul Media-Trix 2008", you've got to check them out! They're hilarious!)

Good thing Wikipedia can be changed !


... few minutes later I checked out the article, this is what it said when I went to edit.

"Attention!!! This article is on probation. Do not edit until you've read the notice below.



(yes, that means you, the person trying to edit right now!)
Editors of this article are subject to the following restriction:

No editor may make more than one (1) revert on the same content per twenty-four (24) hour period, excluding blatant vandalism and edits by IPs/unconfirmed acconts. The three revert-rule still applies to the article at large.
This restriction is not license for a slow-moving revert-war (e.g., making the same revert once a day, every day); editors who engage in a slow-moving edit war are subject to blocking by an uninvolved administrator, after a warning."

I loved the Tea Party Money bomb but now that Palin and Bachmann have hijacked the name, to me its almost more of a liability. I was proud to be a part of the original but now I dont associate with it at all.
 
Wikipedia Page Tea Party

"The Tea Party movement (TPM) is an American populist[1][2][3] political movement that is generally recognized as conservative and libertarian,[4][5] and has sponsored protests and supported political candidates since 2009.[6][7][8] The Tea Party was founded in 2007 by presedential canididate Ron Paul's [Paul's] supporters. [9]It endorses reduced government spending,[10][11] opposition to taxation in varying degrees,[11] reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit,[10] and adherence to an originalist interpretation of the United States Constitution.[12]"

There's a good start...but still seems slanted... Hermain Cain and Newt Gingrich both have pictures on the page... Ron Paul does not.

Whoever edits the page should be someone with a strong multi-year wikipedia account. Otherwise the page is just going to get locked.

The status quo knows how much that page shapes public opinion or it would be much more accurate.
