What is going on?

About a year ago I attended a Tea Party in Jacksonville and wrote a Blog about the experience. Since then there have been additional Tea Parties in this area. Tomorrow there are quite a few Tea Parties to commemorate Tax Day and the opposition to the enormous deficit. They are in Jacksonville, Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and St. Augustine. There may be more that I have not heard about. In Jacksonville it is planned to be larger than ever, even with a famous band providing entertainment. This time there will be local politicians to speak, unlike when I went and there were no politicians present. As significant as all this is,I understand that there are plans for more and larger Tea Parties on July Fourth. This movement has collected some money and now has organizers that are renting buses to get people to a Tea Party. This is very strange because there is no single acknowledged leader for this movement. More than a few people are intending to run for office and saying they are members of the Tea Party. Unlike Republicans that are a known party, there is no membership for being a Tea Partier nor is there a card to hold saying you are a member. Now I hear that there is an attempt to organize a third party to be known as The Tea Party. This is beyond belief since a goal of the Tea Party is to vote them all out. That cannot happen if votes are split between Republican and Tea Party. Stay tuned for additional strange things in our Country's political events.
