I have a suggestion for future tea parties, though, at least those in blue, suburban college-laden, or urban areas. I notice when food is advertised, it’s meat only. I have a feeling some of those parties probably offer soda and buns as well; may want to say so. It may also be worthwhile for some parties to haul over one extra grill and a small cooler of portabello mushrooms or something cheaper and tasty if it can be found, and advertise it to both people trying to eat healthy and vegetarians.

I would just bring my own food if I could come, in a backpack or something. This issue would not even be a speed bump to me. But I’m ALREADY sold and I ALREADY believe our current crop of politicians is dangerous. I also ALREADY know that conservatives aren’t the ignoramous meanie-heads that many people think they are. You’re trying to recruit people, right? May want to try to be explicitly welcoming to people who may sympathize but have been taught to be scared of you.

Just a suggestion-again, mainly directed to people in blue areas, or anywhere there may be a bigger-than-usual crop of vegetarians or health food people. And only, obviously, to parties offering food in the first place. I know it’s too late for the 4th, and may be more effective as tea parties grow anyway.

Maybe “FAKE PIG-for those who don’t like pork” or “VEGGIE BURGERS-show Obama you can eat healthy without his permission!” “Mundane mushrooms, for conservatives.”
