The Coffee Party. The Washington Post reports that a lot of progressives are frustrated with the widespread success of the Tea Party movement across the country (and about to debut in Great Britain) and have started their own movement in answer to us. From their home page: MISSION: The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to [...]
The New York Times had an interesting 5-page article by David Barstow today titled, "Tea Party Movement Lights Fuse for Rebellion on Right." It is worth the read to see how they assess you. Some of what they say is very good and accurate. Other parts are a little off. These people are part of [...]
The Republican Senate Leadership Committee has sent out their "Official Republican Party Survey" which repeatedly says, "Do Not Destroy" and "this survey document must be accounted for upon completion of this project" and comes complete with its own official registration number. They make it sound like the census for goodness sakes. The survey is broken [...]
In a recent poll released by Investor's Business Daily, it shows that seventy-five (75%) of Independents have a favorable view of the Tea Party movement. This is great news for us. This just goes to show that our ideas and platform are mainstream. People are listening, we just need to keep sharing what we are [...]
This is a question that is continually asked in the media and blogs. It seems to be asked even more with the hype over Sarah Palin speaking at the Tea Party Nation Convention this weekend.

It would seem that we have really hit the big time! We are now drawing the direct attention of the Unions. A website has been set up called, "The Tea Party is Over". They say their mission is to "prevent the Tea Party's dangerous ideas from gaining legislative traction." God forbid our ideas trump their [...]
The Lobby Day rally was mentioned by the Washington Post again, this time in the Express Night Out newsletter. There's not much content, but the article was a fair description of the events (except for the low attendance number, but we're all accustomed to that). We tried to locate the article online for posting/linking, but were [...]
We believe the saying goes something like this "The best defense is a good offense". With that in mind, it appears that Tea party activists around the country have decided it isn't enough to fight the establishment: The Tea Party movement ignited a year ago, fueled by anti-establishment anger. Now, Tea Party activists are trying [...]
Tea Party movements across the country feel that the GOP may be ignoring the movement or at least delaying until the republican organization can figure out how to deal with the Tea Parties: "I have called into the RNC many times, and they still haven't called me back," said Dale Robertson, head of TeaParty.org, which [...]
The Tea Party Patriots in the 5th Congressional District (which is Perriello's district) are making some noise this weekend that they are not happy with the candidate that the GOP Establishment and Beltway crowd are supporting, State Senator Robert Hurt. They have managed to get their concerns outlined in a Washington Post Article today. It [...]

See our calendar at the bottom of this page and send us an email at rsvp@richmondteaparty.com to let [...]
We received some very positive coverage by ABC News this week. I know you are shocked, but please read on... You want to know where the tea party movement is headed, this is a good assessment: "Every group that organized rallies last year is now looking to be involved in the electoral process," Odom said.
