It's Rally Day!

It's Rally Day!

It's Tax Day Rally Time!

The ATP respectfully asks our great patriots to please:

Walk on the sidewalks
Stay off the medians
Cross at the corners & obey the lights
Do not block driveways
Do not interrupt the traffic

How to react if there are any offensive signs or people at our rally.

Things to do:

DO get photos or video of any offensive signs or behavior - racist signs, signs connecting O's administration to Nazis, anti-Semitic signs, signs calling for violence - and send them to video@abqteaparty.com.
DO inform them calmly and civilly that the signs and behavior are unwelcome.
DO get pictures including the faces of people holding, the people standing with the offensive signs, and context.
DO have "Infiltrator" and "Brought to you by..." signs as described in the comments, and stay close to the offensive signs so it's hard for the legacy media to single them out.
DO capture video of people shouting offensive words or slogans. Loudly - but calmly and civilly - challenge them for the misbehavior, and get that on video, so it's clear it was denounced at the time.
DO assume people with their faces covered, especially with a balaclava or ski mask, is not your friend.
DO report any harassment or assaults to the police, and capture that report on video as well, if possible.
DO KEEP YOUR COOL. Keep calm. Be nice. These people are agents provocateurs, and the worst thing you can do to them is not be provoked.

Things not to do:

DO NOT confront offensive protesters any more strongly than to tell them they're unwelcome.
DO NOT make any attempt to force people to leave, or do anything they don't want to do.
DO NOT make any concerted attempt to figure out if someone is a "real" Tea Partier or a plant. If they're being offensive, get their pictures, send them in. No one with a racist sign is a friend of the Tea Party movement, no matter how much they say they are on the Tea Party's side.

Atlas Shrugged Is Coming to Albuquerque!

Thanks to all the great support from local Patriots demanding a showing in Albuquerque, we can confirm that the movie will be at the Cinemark Century Rio 24, starting tonight, April 15th!

There is a group of Tea Partiers going to see the 7:45 PM showing after the Tax Day Rally. Get your tickets early and avoid the lines!

From the Atlas Shrugged website;

Atlas Shrugged is a novel that has generated inspiration and controversy since its publication in 1957.

Its theme is the role of individual achievement in society and its goal is to demonstrate what can happen when individual achievement is undervalued, suppressed and demonized. Complex characters embody heroism and evil, in a plot that combines drama, mystery, romance, and science fiction - the result is ultimately inspirational, not apocalyptic.

Dagny Taggart is one of the finest female heroines in modern literature: intelligent, courageous, and as beautiful as she is strong. She is a rare screen example of life lived on one's own terms, for one's own values. Steel magnate Henry Rearden says, "My goal is to make money" with pride. He is an industrialist who improves the quality of life for all - and values his reward. Atlas Shrugged's villains are evil, but as familiar as our local neighbor - as they undercut and subvert talent and achievement.

Atlas Shrugged is in limited release across the U.S.A. It is being presented in three parts. The first part will be debuted on April 15th, 2011, with the next two parts scheduled to be released on April 15th of 2012 and 2013 respectively.
