I would like to be part of the 4th of July in Broward and wouldn't it be nice is to read out loud the Declaration of Independence, say the Pledge of Allegiance, sing a patriotic song; and afterwords perhaps we can prepare a "mini declaration of our Broward tea party" indicating the "wrongs" and stating what we think should be changed. Then we can send it to our Congresspeople. Anna Any feedback on this? Let me know.

I love the idea. The last I heard about what was being planned for the 4th - there are going to be speakers & an American band. We will be all together in an amphitheatre area in a park.
I am not in a position to confirm this. The final notification will come from Karen & Joyce who are now officially in charge.

Can I make a suggestion... this is all getting way too complicated. I just spent 2 hours trying to find anything at all about a Tea Party on 4th of July in Broward.
And I only found this site because of something that Caren posted on another site. I'm thinking that is the biggest problem is most people don't know where you guys are or how to find you.
I was there for the tax day tea party and will be there on the 4th. But somehow you guys need to come together in one place so you can be found.

Oh one more thing... if there is some official flyer I have no trouble printing some out and plastering Hollywood with them.

I'm getting a bit frustrated with the lack of information and communication.
I'm out protesting on July 4th, just incredibly disappointed that the enthusiasm and organization that was there in April is being squandered.
Does anybody know anything? I can always go to Dade or Palm Beach.

From what I understand from reteaparty.com (I think) is the rally is planned for July 4th from 10 - 2 at the Fed Court House in Lauderdale.
I'll be there hope others know about it....

This is what I have found from continually searching the web and talking with some other members on this site. Apparently there is another site they are now using to announce the tea party. I am not sure why no-one from this site was notified, but I was forwarded this e-mail Here is the link: Florida Tea Party Network Tea Party Rallies in Florida & Information Karen Moore Karen Moore has invited you to the event 'Broward County Tea Party' on Florida Tea Party Network! Please send to everyone! Thanks Time: July 4, 2009 from 10am to 2pm Location: Fort Lauderdale Federal Courthouse Organized By: Karen Moore/Lauren O'Brien Event Description: Tea Party to Protest Spending and taxes See more details and RSVP on Florida Tea Party Network: floridateaparty.ning.com/events/event/show?id=3318387%3AEvent%3A1125&xgi=2cDE3XE

I have found a site on facebook also with some information - search Broward County Tea Party and you should find it. Here is also an e-mail that I sent to the new organizer and her response to me. I am not involved in any planning of this tea party it was done without any group involvement, but I wanted to share with everyone the information I have been able to find. The top is the reply from Karen: I’m waiting on info about selling items with/without permits. We need people, signs, and lots of people bringing friends. We need to have more people than last April 15th. There will be a 10th Amendment table, Fair Tax, tee shirts sold, we’re hoping to purchase some pinwheels for the kids and some little flags. If you know of any more groups that would like to be represented, let me know. I did set up an account on browardteaparty pro boards this morning. Any suggestions of help would be greatly appreciated. We are also having Wounded Warriors Project for donations and you get a free herbal pillow. We’re trying to involve as many groups as we can. Any other suggestions? Karen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 8:29 PM Subject: Tea Party Questions Hi Karen - Thanks for taking over after Lauren left the group and we appreciate your efforts. Can you provide the following information.... 1. you mention there will be groups there that support liberty and freedom - who exactly are those groups? 2. Will you have a sound system and speakers this time around? 3. Is there anything being sold such as the bumper stickers and bracelets that were sold on 4-15? 4. The highlighted is part of an e-mail that Florine sent to another tea party member As you know its the Broward County Tea Party that was organized be a great gal, Lauren O'Brien. Karen Moore has taken over as the new organizer. We at DCWORKSFORUS will be supporting Karen Moore. Our Tea Party will be held at the same place where we had our last one which was on April 15th at 299 Federal Hwy. (Ft. Lauderdale Federal Court House) I thought this was a grassroots organization - who exactly is DCWorksForUs - where do they receive their financing from and why is this Tea Party being run in conjunction with them? 5. Is there some reason information about this hasn't been posted on browardteaparty.proboards.com which is where all the information had previously been funneled through? Thanks Caren

Thank you Caren for the info! I would not have found this site without your post to another blog.
I'll post the new link everywhere I run across someone talking about the Tea Parties.

Congress is voting on CAP AND TRADE this friday, the 26th. This bill if passed is going to cripple american families. I'm thinking we should protest outside of senator Bill nelson's office tommorow, Thursday, maybe for only an hour or so. I.ve called all of our representitives, but I know they don't care. I feel strongly we need to stop this bill. They are also voting on Card Check on friday. These are two very dangerous bills. Can anyone join me for an hour in the morning?

Many of the TEA party participants are meeting to protest the passing of the CAP & TRADE in the House. We will be meeting at the Federal Building at the corner of Broward Blvd, & 3rd Avenue at 5:00 PM on 6/27/09. Bring your signs.

Well, about 25 of us showed up for the rally in the rain. Had a good response from the public. Thanks for those who participated on such short notice. Hope we do better next week.
