    Why are they having all these tea parties on a weekday? Us people who have to work (taxpayers) can’t come. How about on a Sat. or maybe even at 5-7pm on a weekday??

  4. Rena on April 1, 2009 8:50 pm

    We have got to get the word out. Have a link advertising it so we can email to all our concerned citizens. Is the media going to be at Bozeman’s Tea Party?

    Glad you guys are excited. To the rest of us, it just looks dumb. Tea Bags? What on earth are you going to do with them? And who’s gonna clean that crap up. I hope you all get $200 fines for littering and then we don’t have to worry about the deficit anymore

  16. Donna on April 10, 2009 7:19 pm

    Anyone interested in one in Helena. There is one from Noon to 1PM at the Capitol. Montana and Sixth.

    Where will the fourth of july tea party be held in Billings. I attened the 4/15 one and I plan attending every local one possible

  21. John Stone on July 21, 2009 11:36 am

    Not sure if anyone is monitoring this site but here goes: Has anyone thought about signs which could be put on lawns of private residents? Something like “NO NEW TAXES OR LEVI’S – IM’ A BROKEN TAXPAYER AND HOMEOWNER?” President Obama has sent “stimulus” money to states (Montana) with stipulations how it is to be spent “to hire new police and firemen”. This money lasts about a year after hiring several new public servants in each community. Then to fund the continued pay for these new employees the Cities and Counties must ask the taxpayers to pay the bill. We have a mail in ballot right now from Cascade County asking voters to authorze the city to exceed the statutory mill levy by permanently and annually levying additional mills to improve public service and fire-fighter safety by hiring and equipping additional personnel. I see signs all over town on lawns asking us to approve this request. Obviously there are liberal folks who have more money than the average homeowner who has been asked repeatedly to finance “more government”. The homeowner and taxpayers of America have had their backs broken and they are going broke trying to finance the liberal Republican “Stimulous” plan. We need to post our own signs saying NO to new taxes on property.

    Baucas must go! for this entire nation, vote him out! I am in BILLINGS, GOD HELP US….

  23. Darby on September 15, 2009 10:49 pm

    A great way to bring people together. Hamilton had their tea party tonight. September 15, 2009. (Tuesday) Hamilton Fairgrounds. Inside.
    The speaker, Beckman was the best. It was educational, enlightening, and empowering to hear the real truth. We have to get it!
    It was great.
    Darby

  24. Darby on September 15, 2009 10:50 pm

    Bacus is a virus and he must go… We can not have this kind of no representation for the people of this state. Remember the election is just around the corner.
    Darby

  25. Darby on September 15, 2009 10:57 pm

    Dear John Stone:
    I think you have a gold mine here. If eachof us posted a sign on our lawns, it would “color” America. Every state, every home and apartment, condo, townhome and every garage.
    Our message would get across. Hamilton, Ravalli County is killing it’s residence. People
    can’t pay the tax bill for the big boys.
    Start a site and have people sign in and tell the public they have just staked a sign in
    their yard. “NO MORE TAXES” “GET RID OF THE FAT” “FIRE CONGRESS”
    “YOGGIE BEAR CAN DO A BETTER JOB OF RUNNING THE COUNTRY”
    I LIKE YOU SUGGESTION.
    GO GET IT!

  26. Darby on September 15, 2009 11:00 pm

    Fred
    Get with the real world. Our children and grandchildren are going to suffer bigtime due to
    the many mistakes makde in the 4 years of Oboma.

  27. A on September 16, 2009 11:20 am

    Baucus is really selling out Americans, Montana needs to put the hammer down on him. What kind of deal did he make with Obama.

  28. offgridmontana on October 4, 2009 11:01 am

    Cool, you are using the same WordPress template as my Website. Anyways I moved to Montana expecting a lot of gun-totting libertarians, but instead was greeted with Obamanites and other liberal trash. What happened to Montana?

  29. Constance on October 13, 2009 7:59 pm

    Re: Darby on September 15 Hamilton “tea party”. We went twice and finally asked one of the main workers if it was a tea party or townhall meeting. Answer was they were not either one, but were going under “Celebrating conservativism”. I, too, am looking for a confirmed tea party or town hall meeting in Hamilton. Any information out there?

  30. Lewistown on October 22, 2009 8:42 pm

    Tea Party Express #2 is coming to Montana. Nov. 1st it comes to Helena @ 11:00 am and then in Bozeman @ 3:00pm. Get the word out and hope a lot of people can make it. http://www.teapartyexpress.org/

  31. offgridmontana on November 1, 2009 6:42 pm

    I was at the TEA Party Express today in Helena!!!!! Great to see libertarians, Libertarians, Conservatives, conservatives, and true Republicans still exist in Montana!

  32. Carter on December 26, 2009 2:15 pm

    The following states have provision for recalling US Senators: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.

    More information is available at http://www.ehow.com/how_2096900_recall-us-senator.html

    I am going to attempt to get this information to as many Tea Party Groups in these states that have Democrat US Senators as I can. If a wide-spread recall movement can be quickly started this action will send a powerful message to all democrats.
    I urgently solicit your help in getting this movement initiated toward completion by spreading the message to every one you know in any of the 17 states except GA and Idaho which have conservative senators.
    And yes, I am starting this effort on Christmas Eve and will continue on Christmas day because I believe that has huge strategic potential if it is swiftly undertaken on a wide-spread basis.
    New Jersey has already started a recall petition and Minnesota has started talking about it.
    Thank you and Merry Christmas,
    Carter Reames

    You guys are such fools. Where were you guys when the banks received taxpayer bail out money. Have you clowns, also realized that when Barack became president that taxes have not even went up. No you know what, I think its time for one of you to commit voloence. Because you can’t have a revolt by being nice. Please someone have some balls and do something. Because if one of you committ volence then that will be the end of you teabaggers.

  35. Jeff on March 22, 2010 11:01 pm

    Just trying to figure out the Tea Party – really. Why is there not a backlash against corporate America in the Tea Party? Our founding fathers were strongly opposed to the foundation of corporations for other than public good. Now we have corporate person-hood and unlimited corporate funding of our elections? This is our countries biggest departure from our constitution, from the vision of the founding fathers – even more so than current social programs – yet no outcry from those who claim to be constitutionalists. Is the Tea Party really what they say or just a movement pushed by corporate america to get their way. I really would like an explanation of this semming hypocrisy. Thanks.

  36. Ben Bertolino on March 24, 2010 7:05 pm

    LOL you teabaggers are starting to show your true colors, keep it up.

  37. J Majka on April 1, 2010 3:14 am

    Is it time that the States called a Constitutional Convention to limit the “Commerce Clause” and perhaps make Congressional pay, benefits and perks subject to voter approval?

  38. Jeff Stevenson on April 11, 2010 8:32 am

    Where was the fiscal conservatives as we were ringing up quite a bill fighting a war that was suppose to be about bringing the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks to justice. How do you fight a war and give tax breaks at the same time and then pretend that there was some level of fiscal conservativism in that. Where were the fiscal conservatives and the “tea party movement” when the country and the world was on the verge of finacial collapse. I’m just trying to understand where you folks are coming from. It’s time to fix America and lead the world forward. What do you stand for?

  39. Marvin Smith on April 15, 2010 11:14 am

    We would like to know when the tea party’s are going on where and what time. And they should be in the evenings or the weekend so everybody has a chance to attend.

  40. jddown on April 15, 2010 9:32 pm

    I understand the deficit concerns, but TEA (taxed enough already)? Really?? Has anyone checked your withholding and taxes compared to 2 year ago, compared to the Reagan years? If you’re normal, they are less. We currently have the lowest income tax rates in decades. Look it up!

  41. majorleagueinfidel on April 23, 2010 5:42 am

    Ok, first, the tax cuts are bait and switch. after these programs take effect, where do you think the money will come from? Lets just print some more. For the founding fathers comment, they were against big government. They didn’t want welfare, they wanted incentives to be productive. and, finally, for the bring the bad guys to justice, war stimulates an economy, the expenses end up bringing in more tax revenue, not more tax rates. In addition, we can’t go after a few people and leave the root of the problem intact. If you want to let my brothers and sisters die in vain by pulling out, you need to grab both ears and pull, because your idealist views have firmly embedded your head in your rear. I deploy not with malice and distaste for my orders, but take solace in knowing that I am still working toward that purpose. How about asking your local military how they feel before starting a b/s crusade on our behalf?

    You have problem with your sex education proposed by school superintendent.
    Printed T shirts could help.
    for example, mr ( who nominated superintendent)had a brain fart before he nominated superintendent.
    Go after the person who elected your superintendent – person with unusual mind.
    Another example of a sign on t-shirt ?? is my scoolboard member an idiot or sex ed genius.
    Well come up with your own idee and display proudly your stuff in school,in the city.
    Especially during election time.
    Good luck.
