Hey Baton Rouge Tea Partiers, What Time Is It? (UPDATED)

It's time to change the country, that's what time it is!

If rummage sales and the occasional flag waving isn't quite what you had in mind for political action this election season, there are places where you can turn your energy into action and fight back to elect conservative / Constitutional candidates to office. Our former Tea Party President, Jennifer Madsen, needs volunteers for the Republican Party's 'Project Victory' campaign, which she now heads. (If you are in another part of the state, Jennifer has campaign opportunities for you, too.)

Dear readers, we need to turn this election, not into a change of parties in Congress, but into an electoral rout the likes of which has never been seen; which even The Left / Mainstream Media can't spin away. Even in "safe" conservative districts we need to turn out our vote in such numbers and with such force that our voice can not be denied. A 52-48 victory is a victory. But a 62-38 victory is a mandate.

Right now, the Republican Party is the best avenue to do that. Our opponents aren't content to sit at a rummage sale or wave flags - Organize for America intends to make 15 million phone calls before 2 November for Leftist candidates. We need to double that.

So ask yourself, my fellow Tea Partiers - what do you want to do in the next few weeks? Sell bric-a-brac and tee-shirts, or continue to be a part of the next American Revolution? The choice is yours.

UPDATE 15OCT2010: For those interested, there are several Tea Party activities in south Louisiana tomorrow (Saturday) that don't involve selling attic leftovers and cookies:

Greater New Orleans Tea Party is holding a "mini-rally" at Veterans and Causeway in Metairie, 10-Noon. Bring tasteful signs.

Northshore Tea Party is holding a "Family Fun To Get It Done" rally at the Reagan Memorial in Covington, 1-3. Senator Vitter and Representative Scalise will be speaking, and there will be opportunities to volunteer for a get-out-the-vote drive (which, in the how-to-win-elections category, beats sellling cookies).
