Thousands of Tea Parties Planned for April 15

By Phil

WorldNetDaily reported this weekend that they’ve been tracking more than 2,000 tea parties set to occur on April 15 across the nation:

While WND has been tracking 400 individual tea parties across the nation, the American Family Association has announced its count is nearing 1,600 ? for Tax Day alone.

The AFA, planned to coordinate 1,000 Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties to be held at 12 p.m. on April 15 in front of city halls across the nation.

But the group is pleasantly surprised as is stands to double that goal before Tax Day is here.

“Our goal was to have a TEA party in 1,500 cities. We are nearly 100 cities above our goal and still growing,” said Donald E. Wildmon, AFA chairman.

The AFA sponsored TEA parties are in addition to hundreds of parties planned by other groups. Taxpayers are also organizing tea parties for Independence Day and various Saturdays so people with conflicting work schedules may attend.

The article goes on to list scores of locations and contact info for the ones WND is tracking. PajamasMedia TV is intending to broadcast the parties.

You can RSVP your intentions of joining a party here.

A great Google Maps of at least 2 pages worth of locations can be found here.

The two top tea party web sites are TaxDayTeaParty.com (from whom I received my tea party widget on the sidebar) and Speaker Newt’s affiliate, TeaPartyDay.com which, per se, claims 1,799 parties (as of this posting) with 2,573 organizers.

Other sites include the following:

• TeaParties
• NewAmericanTeaParty
• ReTeaParty
• TeaPartyRevolution
