"Assuring The Promise of Liberty"
Can you tell me more about your organization?
The coordinators of the Memphis Tea Party are lead by ordinary citizens who feel that our country is on the wrong path and that the principles of our Founding Fathers- Liberty, Smaller Government and Personal Responsibility have been lost. We are not affiliated with any organization. It is our goal to create an event to unify, energize and motivate the silent majority who feel it is time to reclaim our government, stop careless Washington spending and re-instill the principles of our founding fathers.
What should I bring to the TEA Party?
Obviously, we want to be mature and believable in our efforts while at the same time respectful of others. However, you are encouraged to bring your own signs or wear attire that states your views without profanity or insult.
Please feel free to bring lawn chairs or blankets and be prepared come rain or shine! We kindly ask that no alcohol be brought into the event.Are you planning another event?
Where can I find information about 2010 Tea Party Events?
Check out our calendar and events page on this website.
If we are to do another rally, we need volunteers. When we say that we mean, we need people who are truly interested in working on this project. We stress the word "working." Organizing these events requires a LOT of work and we must have people that are dependable and willing to put in the effort. Please only contact us if you are able to commit some of your free time to helping with internet research, administrative help, stuff that may not be glorious and is often tedious. We aren't trying to scare anyone away, this is truly, truly, TRULY rewarding.
Where can I get merchandise?
Great merchandise is available at our store site through the Shopping tab on our website.
How can I plan an event like this in my area?
There is nothing special about the organizers of this event, we are just ordinary citizens who want to make a difference and promote change. You can do this too! We do want to help others who want to plan an event in their area and do intend to post what we have learned; unfortunately, we likely won't have time to do so until after the event. You're welcome to email with specific questions and we will certainly try to get back to you. In the meantime, check out this link for some tips "How to Organize your Own Tea Party Protest."
The organizers would like to thank everyone who has expressed their support and offered help!
We can't wait to see you all on September 12, 2010 in Washington, DC!
