Of note on the video from the website I provided:

(1) He talks about volunteers putting together the local Tea Parties, of which his group gives technical assistance.

(2) He loses the debate, hands down, on the purposes and cause of the Tea Party movement. It is challenging the Tea Parties. However, much of the interview has been cut out.

(3) This seems to be a well crafted MSNBC attack on Armey, and the Tea Party movement.

Good work digging up that info.

Are you inferring national sponsorship of the March on Washington 9/12,

or national sponsorship of the Tea Party movement?.

The Tea Party Express is but one entity going to the March on Washington. They have encouraged the Tea Party movement, certainly, and were at the kick off of the Express, which, in itself, was a Tea Party.

The Tea Party Patriots are but one group represented in the March on Washington.

Just from the website I provided, there are 30 other groups, either represented, or have some form of sponsorship.

FreedomWorks, according to the website, is national sponsor, probably providing the most money, whereas other groups are platinum gold, and bronze.

They also indicate they are partners with other grassroots organizations, and solicit funds, obviously, but also provide registration for the March on Washington, if a group is interested.

"FreedomWorks will be partnering with other like-minded grassroots organizations and local organizers to plan a massive, historic March on Washington on September 12, 2009 at the U.S. Capitol. Please sign up today, and keep checking our website for updates and travel information for the March on Washington."

Do you think it unusual that the national sponsor of the 9/12 March on Washington, who most likely is providing the most funds as a national sponsor, would be soliciting funds?

I'm sure all other 30 sponsors solicit funds, as well.

I'm sure that Freedom Works would also benefit from sponsorship of the March on Washington 9/12 from increased membership.

Excellent observation.

That video encouraged me to go to the first "Tea Parties", even before Tea Parties were really a name, on February 27 of this year. I think he just might have coined the phrase, other than those brave individuals a few hundred years ago.

There was only about 50 of us, but we got a lot of people honking their horns, and caused a little commotion.

Santelli talked about a Tea Party on July 4 in Chicago. Don't know if that occurred, but what he might have kicked off is growing exponentially, and may really be beyond any type of control.

Within three months, over a million people came out, on Tax Day (4/15/09), in over 800 cities. Of course, the major networks either didn't cover this, or dismissed the movement. Opposition, ridicule, and denigration of the movement really began around that time. That was seriously evident, and polarizing, to say the least. Cowards, un-American, evil mongers, "silly" are words that the opposition uses. Allegations of FOX sponsorship and involvement, with another newscaster, plus coverage, really started here, as far as I know.

I hadn't heard of a March on Washington 9/12 until after that, though.

In the meantime, July 4th happened locally, regionally, and across the country. Don't have any numbers to share.

I've read the March on Washinton has been planned for six months, thus it might have taken 3 months or so just to get the word out.

If any pro amnesty, open border pukes- have been at the tea parties I have attended.......they sure were disappointed when, they read my signs that state in large letters-

The donations being solicited are going toward funding things directly related to the event according to the donations page:

Invest in 9.12


We are on our way to making history as the largest march on Washington in favor of lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. But we need your help!

There are fundamental things we need to have like more portable bathrooms to accommodate a crowd like we are expecting and they cost $185 per piece. And every foot of barricade that we still need for the march and rally costs $45. We also want to have a giant video screen at the event that will magnify the images of speakers for the entire crowd and further reinforce our rally as a top-tier event, raising its profile in the media. Unfortunately, obtaining a screen like this is very costly. Due to restrictions at the Capitol grounds, it has to be brought in by hand in 10 sections, each one costing $1,000.

Please help us cover some of these costs so that we can have a successful event and prevent the Left from overshadowing and dismissing us!

Great. Not unusual, then.
