The Original Tea Party of Minnesota

"I shall exert every faculty I possess in aiding to prevent the Constitution from being nullified, destroyed, or impaired; and even though I should see it fail, I will still, with a voice feeble, perhaps, but earnest as ever issued from human lips, and with extinguish, call on the people to come to its rescue."
- Daniel Webster

Step 4: Start holding regular meetings and events!
You are in charge of your group! If people like what your are doing they will stick with you. If you seem to march in front of the parade, trying to profit, have an agenda you will be isolating yourself and eventually be only talking to an echo chamber. We are widening our circle of influence by creating groups in our community that will perform their civic duty. This will ensure that our public officials are performing their civic duty. We wont stop until there is at least 3 representatives in each precinct. SO GET TO WORK!

ENTER YOUR MEETINGS/EVENTS INTO THE EVENTS SECTION - Your events will be shared via RSS across many sites. You can help this process as well by learning more about how RSS works on google or youtube.

IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE BASED OR LOCAL GRASS ROOTS GROUP, ADD IT, THEN SHARE IT WITH THIS NETWORK - This way people from this network will know about you and help you accomplish your GRASS ROOTS goals. [Groups on this network have a TWO WAY relationship with TPMN - we support you, you support us]
