I spent the money from my own pocket to start this website and have it hosted. I want it to be a source of information for those who have attended, or would like to attend, a tea party, or just wonder what "tea parties" are all about.

This website is for the entire Greater Kansas City Area. I'll also provide links to tea party info that's outside the KC area or is nationwide. This is about grassroots, common-people efforts, after all, and we need to be able to find information.

I've lived in the Kansas City area all of my life. Right now I own a small business, but I spent PLENTY of years working for others. While I grew up discussing news and politics at the dinner table, I've never run for any political office (and never will)... but I have voted in every single election since I was old enough to do so. I'm ALWAYS happy to share my political opinions with anyone who will listen. I'm generally what one would call a conservative, but consider myself an independent voter. The only candidate that I can say I ever really WANTED to vote for and was excited about was Ronald Reagan. Mostly I just held my nose and voted for the candidate that stinks the least ( but I won't be doing THAT anymore).

Before I go any further, let me say that this is NOT about one political party, because I can find plenty of slimeballs in BOTH parties. And let's face it, no one single politician, be it president, senator, or congressperson, can have much effect on anything by themselves... it take two or more!

Note: The love of my life was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October 2009, so things on this website from that point forward may be somewhat lacking. I now face two mighty foes, a government gone insane and a cancer trying to suck the life out of my husband. I've got to agree with Patrick Swayze's wife, who stated in an interview that dealing with her husband's pancreatic cancer was like "every day is a 9-1-1 emergency day", so it's a little tough to spend the time I did before to find sources and events. Soooo, if you'd really like to help out, please email me with a brief message of the event or happening or news item you think should appear here along with a link to any web information or contact info about it, and I'll get it posted as quickly as I can. I'm also needing help or advice to construct a mailing list.... I use Outlook Express for my mail but don't have the time or patience to figure out how to do a mailing list with it... maybe there's some free-standing program to use (preferably free or very low-cost)??? I'd like something that's easy to use & doesn't require either a computer science degree or a ton of time to use, and it for sure has to have a "bcc" feature so I'm not spreading folk's email addys around to everyone.. Thanks for your input.
