While I can't be there, I certainly agree with what they stand for:
What we stand for:
1.Limited Government – As our Founding Fathers recognized, restraint of government is necessary to protect the liberties of the people.
2.Fiscal Responsibility – Government at all levels must learn to live within its means. To saddle future generations with the crushing burden of our excess spending is unconscionable.
3.Personal Responsibility – Liberty is unsustainable without responsibility. Each citizen must take responsibility for the consequences of his or her own actions while respecting the rights and dignity of others.
4.The Rule of Law – Consistent, independent and uniform application of the law is critical to a free and prosperous society.
5.National Sovereignty – We must maintain a strong national defense, effective security for our borders, and sole control over our land and our laws.
What we won’t stand for:
1.Personal Attacks – We’re debating positions and policies, not demonizing people or groups.
2.Unfounded Rumors – The easily verifiable facts are bad enough. Don’t weaken our position by stretching the truth.

- Asker's Comment:
- Thank you for the intelligent response. All good points.
Also, I think an interesting aspect of the tea parties is the large percentage of democrats and independents who are involved.
Some who have not researched the Tea Parties, think that only Republicans are involved.

- Nope, I will not. I appreciate you guys advertising it over and over and over again on here so I remember to stay away from that area over the weekend.
As far as Garafalo coming...you have got to be kidding me. I am a straight female Texan and I wouldn't show my face there in the middle of the rednecks calling for secession, yet you think a lesbian New Yorker is going to show up? Please.
BTW: Heat index s/b around 105 so don't forget to stay hydrated.
EDIT: So when I call my stepdad a "redneck" for watching NASCAR he should sock me instead of laughing? Do you know what redneck really means? Look it up. There's no insult in it. Most Southerners who fall in that category are proud to call themselves rednecks. - I won't be going but I'm sure there will be at least 7 people, one dog and four horses there this time.
. - No, I will not. I'll stay in Oak Cliff during that time, thank you very much.
Wonder where all these tea drinkers were last year? Bush started these bailouts, you know? Were you drinking coffee last year? - No. I do not support any of the teabag parties.
- No, I won't. I am a patriotic American, not a traitor.
