Hearing Tom's comments Friday on how little quality conversation goes on among folks who mostly don't agree, I offer up our first step-- there will be more -- towards a prospective Tea Party/ Occupy Alliance: http://www.immensepossibilities.org/ipr-podcasts/the-tea-partyoccupy-wal...
This was kind of a wary first date. For those who see danger in this budding relationship -- we do, too. We just happen to think that the chances for dramatic & sturdy positive change are much, much higher if we can consolidate our numbers around carefully-selected issues. So much higher that it we'd be foolish NOT to explore the open question of whether there's enough overlap to build on.
As we plan steps #2 and 3, we'd value any feedback and suggestions at infor@immensepossibilities.org. Thank

The Real Tea Party would be Federal Criminals, Smugglers, and the like.
Like the Medical Cannabis Growers and Collectives that just want fair taxation and an end to prohibition.
This is what would be dumped in Boston Harbor; weed.
Today's erzatz version seem more like the opposite to the OWS, Rich people protesting the 'Death Tax', and the like.
This would have been much more effective two years ago, before the sincere tea partiers realized they were being used and quit the movment, but those people can still be reached. Thank you for the effort and good luck.
I agree. Little good this is going to have in the current climate.
