Tea Party Trying To Organize Offline
Tea Partiers held their first national convention this weekend in Nashville, TN. The convention is part of the movement’s attempt to organize offline and become a legitimate political party. The convention’s organizer, Judson Phillips, said ,”If 2010 is another year of rallies, we’ve lost.” Tea Partiers have organized and communicated almost entirely through social networking sites. Having a convention is a step in the right direction for the Tea Party but they have a long way to go if they hope to become an established political party.
