The Afterparty: Occupy Bar Stools

I know, we are all excited about the Cardinals going to the World Series. Game 2 is set to begin at 7:05 pm CST on Thursday, October 20. . .as is The St Louis Tea Party Coalition’s Afterparty, Round Two.  Since tyranny does not rest in the excitement of baseball, we will continue with our plans to socially organize to Occupy Bar Stools at Helen Fitzgerald’s and enjoy the game there!

As you may recall, last month’s Afterparty was “Find Five People“.  This month, we challenge patriots to bring back their index cards with their list of five. . .or you can even bring them along if you would like.  The point here is to start spreading the word!

So, come on out, grab a bite, have a drink, and pull up a bar stool, and learn how we are going to continue our mission to take the country back, all while watching our beloved Cardinals defeat the Texas Rangers!  Bill Hennessy is a HUGE Cards fan, so I’m sure he’ll keep it short!

The Tea Party Strikes Back!: The Sticky-Note Campaign

From the moment I saw this new campaign, I LOVED it!  It’s brilliant. . which makes me wonder why I didn’t think of it first!

     Here’s the deal:

1. Buy a couple of packs of Sticky-Notes

2. Buy a Sharpie

(carry these with you wherever you go)

3. Write a short (7 words of less) question to challenge the        reader to really think about the economic status of America– and who’s to blame for it!  Example: “How’s that “Hope & Change” Working For You?” and sign it -NOBAMA2012

4. Post it!  Post it at Gas Pumps: “Gas Prices Brought to You By Obama”- NOBAMA2012. Post it in Grocery Stores: “Who’s John Galt?– NOBAMA2012. Post it on ATMs: “Can You Spare Me Some “Change”?”–NOBAMA2012. . .you get the idea!

Simple, cheap and most importantly, effective!

In fact, I’m going to the store right now to buy a boat-load of supplies!

Here’s a video to give you some ideas (sorry about the music on this one. . .NOT my choice–feel like I need to get my techno-geek on!):

Local Teamsters Go Way Of Mickey Mouse!

You’ll remember last week,  the Teamsters were lobbying in Jefferson City,  but they also  had to scrub their Rally due to low turnout.  Guess even when General President Hoffa Jr was headlining the event, a free bus ride and box lunch still doesn’t cut it!

So, in looking around for ANY info on what the Teamsters were up to last week, I found a lone tweeter, Cathy Sherwin, updating the Twittersphere on what Mr. Hoffa was sharing with his weak audience of 200. . .and you’re not going to believe what his mantra was. . .

Wait for it. . .  

Wait for it. . .  

He went all Disney on his Union Croanies!!!  

I kid you not, his theme was none other than High School Musical’s “We’re All In This Together”!  

C’mon!  Sing it with me!

We’re All In This Together

Once We Know That We Are

We’re All Stars

And We See That

We’re All In This Together!

The Left Can’t Seem To Organize It’s Way Out Of A Box!

So, apparently the Teamsters are not only lobbying in Jefferson City today, but they are also hosting a Rally.  That was the plan, anyway.  In fact, it all looked to be pretty well organized. . . to the extent that they began advertising the event a month and a half before the event.  In fact they, were “assuming a large turnout” for the Rally since General President Hoffa was headlining the event.

Well, I guess we all know what happens when you A-S-S-U-M-E.  Yep, Teamsters, once again, made asses out of themselves. . . again!

Yesterday, Gateway Pundit reported on the miserable failure yesterday’s “Tax the Rich” Rally, which brought in a pathetic couple dozen loonies.  Most of them appeared dazed, confused, and distracted by the fact that they needed to come up with some sort of excuse as to why they were at a *Rally* (if you want to call it that), and not at work.  

So, fast-forward ONE DAY.  Tuesday, April 19, 2011.  I was really hoping to make it out to out to the Capitol to meet with my friends in the House and Senate. . .but moreso, to see how well the moonbats organized after yesterday’s @ass-smacking fizzle.  Unfortunately, I am also a parent with two small children, which does not afford me to take-off on a whim.  So, I set to the internet to do what I do best. . . drive my left pals nuts.  

I started searching for any and all articles on today’s BIG RALLY. Nada.  I logged onto Facebook to spy back on the *oh-so-clever* lefty “Friends” who really don’t think I’m on to them. Still nothing.  I thought, surely I’d find something in my Twitterfeed. *Crickets*  Well, that’s not entirely true.  I found ONE person on all of Twitter tweeting about it.  NO mention of a Rally, NO pictures of a Rally.  In fact, it looks like it was even worse than yesterday’s faceplant to the concrete.  They DID have a small group in a meeting room <a href=”http://twitpic.com/4mx3hp&#8221; title=”Share photos on twitter with Twitpic”><img src=”http://twitpic.com/show/thumb/4mx3hp.jpg&#8221; width=”150″ height=”150″ alt=”Share photos on twitter with Twitpic”></a>

 So, my question of the day is this:  For all the brainless lefties who have been watching the Tea Party for the last two years, what have you learned?  Certainly not how to organize, that’s for sure.
