Posted 22 Jan 2013 · Report post Gotham Tea Party: Going Forward! While the 2012 election results were disappointing, we can't stand still. And won't. The holidays are behind us. The year is young -- and we have work to do. It's a new beginning. Our first meeting of the year has a speaker who knows about new beginnings. After almost a decade working as a labor union activist, Peter List had an epiphany about what the labor movement really means for America. He left the union movement for good. Now List has a greater concern: What's happening to America. He sees challenges. "What happens next depends on us," he says. Join us to find out more! DATE: Monday, January 28th TIME: 6:30 - 9:30 pm TOPIC: "Tea Party 2.0: What Will Help Win America's Future?" SPEAKER: Peter List, former Communications Workers of America chief shop steward (among other leadership positions), is a regular front page contributor to RedState.com and is a consultant specializing in labor union issues. Thanks to his deep knowledge of unions, List has persuaded tens of thousands of employees across the country to reject unionization. : VENUE: Connolly's Pub and Restaurant 14 East 47th Street COST: Pre-paid $10* (includes snacks); $15 at the door Click to pre-pay: www.gothamteaparty.com/jan13-pae Questions?

Posted 23 Jan 2013 · Report post One of the unfortunate thing about the Tea Party which started out as a libertarian (notice the small "l" please!) movement is that it was hijacked by right wing Republican Jesus Phreaks. These be nighted folks believe our rights come from G-D and that the Constitution is Christian Holy Writ. The hell it is! Most of our Founders were Deists who were but a half step from outright Atheism.ruveyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While some people are personally very religious, they don't bring religion into politics except by default. Many fall back on God as a source of rights but they are open -- and often relieved -- to find out there is a secular, fact-based argument for individual rights that doesn't depend on faith.

I support a few tea-party organizations, and this has not been my experience at all.Nor mine. Gotham Tea Party has no religious affiliation. Some of the Tea Party clubs with religious zealots, of course, do have a religious tone, but the Tea Party individual clubs and organization as a whole has got nothing to do with religion, and is about small government, individual rights, the constitution, and Freedom aka Liberty.As anyone who bothered to look at the link I have posted 1,435,897 times would know.http://www.teapartypatriots.org/So.Once and for all. The Tea Party and this meeting is not about religion, but about Liberty and small government aka Ayn Rand's ideas about government, contradictory statements on this thread to the contrary notwithstanding.
