      dave,

      thom hartmann, great progressive radio talk show host, suggests that lefties try to coopt these tea parties by bringing our messages to the participants.  This would not be counter-demonstrationing or disrupting the "tea parties."  Instead, we just show up with our signs like "tax the rich," "break up the banks," "raise the minimum wage," "stop corporate welfare," etc. and participate.  The idea is that people attending may see our points, as many of them may be disaffected people who don't really know what's going.  Moreover, there should be media coverage of the event.  

      Get this out to your extensive list of contacts. 

      Solidarity,
      bill gorrell
