MoveOn.org is putting on a rally at Baron Hill's office in Bloomington tomorrow (Inside the Shower's Bldg, corner of 7th and Morton. Enter from the SW corner of the bldg. Other entrances are for other offices.). The message they want to present as quoted from their event webpage is, "Our message is that the best response to recent disappointing events is to advance a more, not less, progressive platform.". We have been asked by one of your fellow patriots to stage a counter protest. This is an excellent idea. All of you that can be there at noon tomorrow, please plan to attend. Please allow the MoveOn folks to have their space and treat them with respect. If there is any conflict, we need to be the ones who demonstrate respect for others opinions. Don't give anyone reason to give us bad press about our behavior. Take the High Road like you always have in the past. Happy Massachusetts Day! If you can make it, please attend.
4/15 Event a Success!
Hundreds of "Leaders of the Tea Party" Gathered at Showers Plaza to Celebrate the Fight for Freedom in America. See this article in the Herald Times Online and this one at the Indiana Daily Student online for reports of the event. Be sure to follow these links to the HT video and the IDS video or the links to videos and pictures at both sites. Check back here as we gather pictures, accounts and videos of the event.
Second Annual Tax Day Protest

Important Update: There is a well publicized effort by the left to "crash" the tea parties and parade with racist or other inappropriate slogans in order to discredit your voice. This occurred at our event last year. Realize that this is the best they can do, call names instead of justifying their policies. If you see this behavior at our event, laugh, ridicule and humiliate the individuals, but most importantly, photograph them showing their faces so we can document their events in cooperation with PJTV and Breitbart media. Report all incidents directly to us at the rally or to sitemaster@bloomingtonteaparty.com. Remember, their desperate attacks are just a sign that we are winning with the facts!
Urgent!

The Tea Party group in Seymour is having a rally to send off Baron Hill before he goes back to Washington. This rally will take place only a few blocks from Baron Hill's home. The rally is on Saturday, January 16th at 1:00, at the Seymour High School on Community Drive. It will last an hour.
100 Brave the Cold to "Greet" Rahm Emanuel and Baron Hill!
Global warming was in full swing as temperatures were in the teens as Rep. Hill held his exclusive, invitation-only fund raising event at the luxurious Tudor Room of the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University. Difficult conditions didn't prevent his constituents from turning out to let him know they don't approve of his voting record in favor of the irresponsible Democrat party agenda.

Important Update: Issues with the Young Americans for Liberty at IU have been resolved in a satisfactory and timely manner. We appreciate their energy and would encourage you to consider their support for HR 1207.
Disclaimer: There is a video circulating that attempts to affiliate the Bloomington Tea Party with a group called Young Americans for Liberty at IU. This group was at no time associated in any way with the Bloomington Tea Party. While this group obviously videotaped at our event, their video is a fraudulent attempt to associate this protest with their cause. We apologize for their confusion. Click Here to see our response
