When the smoke has cleared and April 15 is past, what then? Don’t go to Disney World, go to AfterTheTeaParty. They have a downloadable flyer here (pdf).
Find a list of local Tea Party organizers by state here.
An exhibition of 2009 Tax Tea Party art here, via TaxDayTeaParty.
Get a free pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence from the Heritage Foundation here.
ReTeaParty is coordinating a July 4, 2009, nationwide protest. More info here.
Lots of parties listed at TeaPartyAndRevolution.
Advice for protest participants in recognizing activists who want to hijack the demonstration from Pajamas Media:
So my recommendation to Tea Party demonstrators as a former leftie is to tear a leaf from my old book. Keep your eye out for the most extreme characters and then ask yourself: Is that real? Is that person who he or she says he is? Cui bono, who profits, here from what they are saying or doing? Draw your conclusions (carefully!) and then act accordingly and completely within the law.
Michelle Malkin notes that the Left wants in on Tea Party action.
Liberal guru Joe Trippi and government-subsidized Bill Moyers are pushing the new initiative, titled “A New Way Forward.” …
…The lefties have chosen April 11 to try and usurp media attention from the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party event on April 15. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I should note: If even one of those protesters is truly sincere about opposing government bailouts of private industries and truly sincere about ending government support for crony pesudo-capitalists at Fannie/Freddie and truly sincere about letting failing banks fail, I say: Welcome to the club.

After April 15th, the place to find the next round of tea parties is http://www.reteaparty.com. There you can find a local independence day tea party that is already being organized or you can start and organize your own. The administrators on the site are great about helping you get it started and are very eager to hand over all the major coordination efforts. Overall it is a great place to go to continue the movement against profligate spending! http://www.reteaparty.com

Wow, I’m amazed that when some Americans have a quibble about the politics of spending they start a tax revolt. Our GLBT families AND children are SUB-American in Federal Law; we suffer NEEDLESSLY in times of crisis, disease, and death due to our legal exclusion from FAMILY LAW.
