new national site...

Same people...new name...Tea Party Patriots.

And, if you are interested in the march on DC in September on 9/12, this is the site.

Cry Freedom...the tea party music video...

Like Metallica, I never thought I would do a music video for any of my songs. Like a lot of other things in my life, I should never say never.

I hope you enjoy the video whichK T Dodge worked hard to get right. I am just a performing monkey, its the tea party participants, organisers and K T that make it all work.

Watch the signs...there are some rather amusing ones.

Water shots filmed in South Harpswell, ME.

Media Expert helps national movement...

And that media expert is me. They very kindly did a nice write-up on the site. I look forward to helping organisers through the maze that is dealing with the media.

Tea Party interview on Shire News Network

SNN interviewed me about the whole Tea Party movement in the US and Maine. Garofalo comes in for a bit stick for an idiotic rant on CNBC about the movement.

Fife @ Augusta Tea Party & Highlights

Filmed and edited by my dear wife Kim. 8-)

For more photos from events round the state please head over here.

We are a bit under the weather after a dodgy meal last night so we are a bit slow on the posting today.



You heard the tunes, now check out a few highlights. Again filmed & produced by my wife K T Dodge.

Maine Tea Parties a great success

All across the state the Tea Parties attracted far more people than anticipated. The MSM was pretty scarce most of the time but all in all we did what set out to do. Thanks to all that made this such a special day.

Tea Party Signs...

Signs at the Augusta Tea Party may not be on stakes or poles of any kind. Protest signs that are not in line with theme of the event will asked to be removed at the demonstration. Such signs include but not limited to: campaigning, racially inappropriate slogans, anything that suggests violence or unlawful activity, and/or partisan slogans.

A request: misinformation about the 15th.

If anyone tells you they are confused because they read there was an event from 2-7pm in Augusta please ask where they got that information. There seem to be people putting it about there is one single event in Capital Park on April 15th. That is not the case.

Portland Teaparty confirmed...

Or rather another Portland Tea Party confirmed. This is their site and here are the details.

April 15, 2009 from 4pm to 6pm – Munjoy Hill Beach on Cutter St.

I am so pleased to see more Tea Party events popping up in Maine towns/cities. The more the merrier...welcome.

1 Million Tea Bags to DC

Please take a few minutes to log on to http://www.millionteabags.org/

For $1.00 you can join in the effort to send 1 million tea bags to Washington. This effort is a combined move with the Patriot Depot and http://www.reagan.org/ try to get someone's attention in Washington.

Mr Jefferson

The purpose of the Tea Party

These are not, some of the organizers of individual events point out, complicated events to stage . . . The key is that there are many events occurring all day on the same day — this is what brings them their sense of community and their political strength.

from Peter Roff

Please RSVP for the 15th

If you are planning to attend please RSVP.
