Do yourself a favor and watch this. Thom Hartmann got a copy of the only first hand account of the Tea Party, written by a participant. My whole life, I've always wondered what the big deal was about paying a tax for some stupid tea. Now, I know!

WOULD SOMEBODY WITH MORE TIME ON THEIR HANDS PLEASE WRITE A MEATIER BLOG ON THIS, WORTHY OF BEING FRONT-PAGED?

ALSO, WE ARE CHANGE AND OTHER STREET ACTIVISM GROUPS: PLEASE PRESS THIS ONTO CD/DVD AND HAND OUT, ALSO.
