Generous Tea Parties

While the original intent of the National Tea Parties has not faltered, I have stumbled across a FABULOUS idea.

The Little Rock, Arkansas Tea Party is collecting cannned goods and other non-perishable items to donate to the local food banks that have been struggling in recent times.

This demonstrates not only that Tea Party participants are concerned about the state of this Nation...but also are a large majority of the most giving, kind hearted Americans that you'll ever meet.

I know this is short notice, but maybe we can all suggest something of this nature for our own Tea Parties?

TOP TEN ITEMS NEEDED:

• Canned meats/fish/poultry

• Canned/Packaged Meals

• Peanut Butter

• Cereal

• Soups

• Canned Vegetables

• Canned Fruits

• 100% Juices

• Pasta and Pasta Sauces

• Diapers

What an excellent idea! I'm forwarding it to our local organizer.

I think that it is to late to get this out, but. From what I understand the original Boston Tea Party was held on December 16, 1773. Perhaps there should be another on December 16, 2009 and incorporate this idea into it. There is much more time to organize and utilize what is learned from the 4/15 tea party.
