Andrew Ian Dodge on Patios on the News
Head over and check out my hour long interview on Maine TV about the tea party movement. We cover everything and end up agreeing more often than even the host would be believe.

March 16th to DC
To All Tea Party Groups, 9.12 Groups and other Organizations,
I am writing this email to all of you in the hopes we can all come together as one. United in the purpose of saving our country and make a final stand against the liberals in congress.
I have spoken to many people throughout the day, and the one tactic we have all agreed, and that is we must go to Washington. Not as a mass protest in the streets, but as a mass of citizens converging on every liberal congressional office. Lines upon lines of citizens waiting to see congressmen. Not patriots, not 9.12 people, not as an organization, but as Americans. Citizens of all walks of life, of all colors, from every corner of the country. Lines and lines of men and women, young and old standing shoulder to shoulder.
There has been much made about reconciliation, but the fight right now is in the House. If the Senate Bill passes without changes this battle is lost. Make no mistake about this simple fact. If we lose this battle, not only will our country lose, our children lose, and we will lose as a movement. It is time we put differences aside for one or two days and unite to defeat this bill.
I want your input and I want others to see your input. That is why all emails tonight are exposed. Most of the conversations today focused on March 16th as a good day as all members of congress will be in town. This will give us time to get emails to all members of our groups. Arrange buses if needed, book flights, and find hotel rooms. We can do this in one day or two. I need your input.
We can send emails, make phone calls, have candle light vigils, but nothing beats a face to face with thousands. Nothing would have an impact like every congressman and woman walking by long lines of Americans standing in their halls.
We need no signs, we need not wear a single group shirt. We just come, and come, and come. We come as Americans and we leave victorious.
Please let me know if you are willing to make this stand.

DECLARATION OF TEA PARTY INDEPENDENCE: a re-interpretation...
DECLARATION OF TEA PARTY INDEPENDENCE
For much of its history, the United States has been a land of prosperity and liberty. Sound policies such as fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and a belief in the free market have safeguarded this condition.
In recent years, however, Congress, the White House, the Federal Reserve Board, and the court system have replaced those practices with profligate government spending and expansion of the government power beyond what is constitutionally permissible via government control of banks, the auto industry, and other large sectors of the economy.
This course, if not reversed, can only lead to economic collapse and tyranny.
Therefore, Individuals acting through the Tea Party movement seek to reinstate policies which are proven to safeguard liberty and prosperity for all. We will organize, demonstrate and vote until this restoration has been achieved. We will stay focused on this goal and remain INDEPENDENT from any persons or political parties who seek to distract us from this end.
And for the support of this Declaration, we the Undersigned mutually pledge to each other our tireless Effort, our sense of Urgency, and a trust in the power of our combined Voices.
More on this here, Matt has kindly adopted my idea of printing this out and having people sign it to display at events or in public places.

April 15th in Augusta
Tax Day Tea Party 2010
04/15/2010
Maine ReFounders/Paint Maine Red is again Joining forces with the group Maine Patriots to hold an Tax Day Tea Party at Capitol Park in Augusta from 3 PM till 7 PM. It is our intention to create a grassroots coalition of Americans and provide a platform to unite around a common goal of stopping the socialistic liberal agenda, seek out and support individuals with True Conservative Values, we are also here to let our officials know that RINO's are on the endangered species list here in Maine and will soon be extinct. If done properly, we will create the foundation and structure for rebuilding the conservative movement and restoring constitutional leadership to our State and Nation.
The Augusta Tax Day Tea Party 2009 was a huge success, almost 1000 fellow Mainers from over 163 towns showed up to tell our officials that we will be silent no
more. Lets make it 5,000 this year!!!
Our goal is simple keep the grassroots movement on fire. "We want to keep
Patriots excited and pumped up, we want them to continue to pound on the door of Congress and the White House."
Help wanted with many different tasks. We need people willing to man information and sign in tables, set up and clean up etc.. Also we need donations to cover insurance, porta potty's, flyer's and so on. Please donate today! Any amount will help. We also need help with providing Pocket Constitutions for everyone who attends. Please go to your local stores and talk to the owners, ask them if you can post a flier in there store And asked them for a donation of goods or services. We will be holding a raffle to help cover the cost of pocket constitutions and this event.
Please attend and donate a little time and money to make this bigger and better than the last one.
If anyone has any suggestions or talents that they would like to share please contact me.
If You are interested in speaking let me know. It is our intention to hold this event for WE THE PEOPLE! This is not going to be a campaign rally for candidates running in 2010. This event is all about the Constitution and letting our voices be heard. We will not be inviting any politicians or candidates to speak, as far as I am concerned if they wish to speak to we the people, they can come to us.

Maine Tea Party movement... in BDN
An interesting piece on the tea party movement in Maine... with the requisite of bit of hatred and contempt from a local Democrat.
The Democrat responsible for that comment should be ashamed of themselves.
