I'm shocked! Shocked!
TPM Muckraker:
In a mass email sent out last night to the supporter list of the Columbus Tea Party and obtained by TPMmuckraker, leaders of the group issued a set of "do's and dont's" for protesters attending an April 15 Ohio State House event -- chief among them: absolutely no pre-gaming.
Specifically, the email warns those planning to attend the "Tax Day" event, "No alcohol (or other mood-enhancer) or pre-drinking."
....It instructs, "Display a picture of dignity in the way you behave. No violence, no threats, no profanity, no bigotry or law-breaking. We outnumber them, let's not act desperate or foolish."
I guess after anti-health care protesters attacked a man suffering from Parkinson's Disease outside of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's office, organizers are afraid that their members will do something stupid again.
