Announcing the Ron Paul Tea Party Celebration
Durham, NC: On December 16, 2007, we will be celebrating the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, often considered the tipping point at which community activism gave way to American revolution, and freedom. Following the Boston Tea Party in 1773, we declared our independence from tyranny with the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
Perhaps the most significant words in Morgan Freeman’s introduction above are, “The real glory of the Declaration of Independence has been our nation’s epic struggle throughout history to close the gap between the ideals of this remarkable document and the sometimes painful realities of American life.”
In honor of this ongoing struggle, the Triangle Ron Paul Meetup is throwing a party for the strongest pro-Liberty presidential candidate, Congressman Ron Paul. We are joining Congressman Paul to “close the gap” between the ideals of our Declaration of Independence and our present challenges as a nation. Are you ready to join the revolution, and the celebration? Would you like to put aside the labels that divide us for an evening, and meet other citizens to celebrate our rights and our freedoms?
Please download and distribute the event flyer, available in color (1 per page), color (2 per page), black and white (1 per page), and black and white (2 per page).
Here are the highlights:
when: Sunday, December 16th, 2007 6pm-10pm
where: Durham Armory, 220 Foster Street (Downtown Durham)
cover: $2 to help pay for the venue
We look forward to seeing you there!

Great idea, BJ. Just having the gathering is a great idea on its own. But I really love the inspiration of linking the personal freedom implicit in libertarian ideals with personal responsibility, compassion and altruism. It seems counterintuitive to some, so needs to be shown that generosity and community are not threatened, but can be released to flourish under limited government. I’m ready for the Tea Party!

We’re refining the vision for the party, and will be putting out a new flyer/announcement that reflects a renewed emphasis on having fun, celebrating Ron Paul’s campaign, and message of liberty. More to come…

Yeah, I don’t like the terminology “fool” in there. We’re professionals who have sincere and earnest care about this country, not a foolish dream.
