Tea Parties
Recently, a large grassroots movement has begun to take place across the nation. Average citizens everywhere are organizing and holding tea parties to protest against blind and massive government spending. So far the turnouts have been very large, with parties taking place daily in every state across the country. Chances are, there is a tea party being held near just about everyone in the US at some point, with many cities holding monthly and weekly rallies. Everyone is encouraged to get out to a tea party and get involved.
The massive government spending must end and the debt must be paid down, otherwise the hole just gets deeper and will soon begin to fill with water. Action must be taken in order to ensure that the people’s voices are heard, so send a message by participating at your local tea party, and mail your representatives in congress a tea bag as a reminder of their duties to you the citizen.

Progressive Libertarianism is not affiliated with the Tea Party movement or any other movement, though we do seek to work together with those when we can who share a common interest or goal.

A sure fire way to Demotivate the progressive libertarian movement is to associate the words “TEA PARTY” with such a serious agenda. LET US NOT ACCOCIATE THESE WELL INTENTIONED FOX manipulated WACKOS with our cause. TEAS PARTIERS ARE EXTREME RIGHT WINGERS.
There are many genuine people involved with the tea parties, which were originated by Libertarians, not Republicans or conservatives, or “right-wingers”.
The tea party movement may have been hijacked in some ways, but many of the people involved are genuine in their beliefs about low taxes and less government involvement in people’s lives.
The tea party movement is a positive one as it advocates for some of the same things Progressive Libertarianism promotes, and should not be judged based on their nutjob minority. Every group has people like that within their ranks and its wrong to lump everyone together like that.
Progressive Libertarianism does not associate with the tea party movement, but I see nothing wrong in giving coverage to another movement that is trying to accomplish some of the same goals we are. We want to always work together with those we agree with when we can. Remember, negativity accomplishes nothing.
