Click to read The Rise of the New Center, William Temple.
William was featured in the Tea Party Movie, and was front-and-center at the 912 March on the Capitol.

Patriots 28560 presented a free screening of the Tea Party Movie February 29, the one-year anniversary of the Tea Party movement.

Watch this blog, we'll be presenting an encore performance early August in preparation for our trip to DC for the second 912 March. Many of us were at the first, and yes, it was 1.5 million strong.

Tea Party Movie Screening Enjoyed by ALL!

Thanks to the 44 Patriots who attended our free Tea Party Movie screening, we have doubled our attendance since our organizational meeting, just three weeks ago. Please take a few moments to comment and share your impressions of the movie.



Thank you to everyone who adjusted their schedules to accomodate our time change and to the Morehead City Tea Party Patriots for driving our direction this time! Special thanks to Roma and Edith for so graciously donating their portion of our raffle back to help build our operating funds.



Our next event will be Saturday, March 27, Carolina Pines (Township Six) fire station -- a hugely FUN (with a purpose...) sign-making party. Which you will need if you plan to attend a local Tax Day Tea Party Protest or the DC Protest. If you can't attend an April 15th protest, you can still join us in our sign-making. Just send your creation out with another protester.

Watch this blog for start time. Plan to bring posters, markers, creativity and enthusiasm. We'll cover calendar and basic business items, too.

Tea Party Movie TIME CHANGE to 6 p.m.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the Tea Party Movie FREE screening will be 6 p.m. Saturday, February 27th. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will be able to join us at this NEW later time.

We were not able to correct the article in the Sun Journal before it went to press.

Correct time is 6 p.m., Saturday, February 27th. We hope you'll be able to join us to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Tea Party movement as we gather to celebrate the Freedom of Assembly guaranteed by our United States Constitution.

Tea Party Movie TIME CHANGE to 6 p.m.

A conflicting event at the Township Six (Carolina Pines) Fire Station has required us to change the Tea Party Movie showing to 6 p.m., Saturday, February 27.

We will be sending out a change notice Friday evening.

Please share this new time with anyone whom you know is planning to attend.

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you at our new start time of 6 p.m.

Coordinating With Morehead City Tea Party Patriots

Lillian and I attended Morehead City Tea Party Patriots Tuesday evening meeting. I counted 41 in attendance, we had heard that they were ready to outgrow Cox Restaurant, and they are! Hope we can create as much excitement and success with our new group. Of those in attendance, fully half had made the trek to DC for the 912 March. That event was my first experience with the MC Tea Party Patriots and I'm very glad I found them.

We provided their members a brief overview of who we are, how many were at our first meeting, and expressed our desire to coordinate for local and national events. We hope to have quite a few MC TPPs join us at our FREE Tea Party Movie screening. They're hard at work on their April 15th rally and will likely show the movie after that event. We invited their members to come see it with us, then take friends and see it again in Morehead City. It's that good, you will want to see it again, and share with family and friends.

We Are Organized and Ready to Roll!

Our organizational meeting was a success with 21 concerned citizens in attendance. Surveys, business cards and agendas were provided upon sign-in.

Protest signs from last year's New Bern Tax Day Tea Party were on display as well as signs from the Americans for Prosperity Hands Off my Healthcare Bus Tour, August last year. The 912 March on the Capitol, October 2 Americans for Prosperity annual meeting and grassroots training, November 5 Capitol House Call, and December 15 Code Red Rally. A copy of our February 7, 2010 agenda has been posted and linked in right-hand column.

Seven new members will be adding to this blog content as part of our cadre of commentators. We have permissions for up to 100 guest authors. Have something you'd like to contribute? Please join us, then blog away. If you're not ready to take that first step as a new blogger, please comment on our posts and advance the discussion and discourse.

Our next event will be Saturday, February 27, a 2 p.m. FREE matinee screening of Tea Party: The Documentary Film. We were fortunate to see a preview of the Tea Party Movie on the charter buses to the Code Red Rally December 15 -- and it is exceptional.

The February 27 screening is a nationwide event to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Tea Party Movement and to emphasize that in spite of main stream media reports to the contrary, the movement is alive, well and LOCAL.

An RSVP link for the Tea Party Movie has been added, top left column. Plan to join us. And bring five friends as well as enough popcorn and soft drinks to satisfy your family!

Please watch for our press release that will be provided to various local media.
