Let The Tea Parties Begin

How can the people taking part in the 2009 Stimulus Bill Tea Parties in San Diego, St. Louis, and Tampa (any place in the country) ban together to accomplish the same goal?

And what is the goal?

CommonSenseForCongress.org has the answer to both these questions!

The goal is simple and easy to understand:
Americans should vote for Congress people that believe they should read a bill before they vote on it and that it should be posted to a Congressional web site for two weeks before it can come before Congress for a vote. Additionally, each bill should cover one topic with no earmarks or pork allowed to be added.

Tea Party participants should encourage their 2010 candidate for the House and Senate to take the Common Sense pledge and run under the CommonSenseForCongress.org banner. For that matter, all groups working for reform of the U.S. Government, should also ban together using CommonSenseForCongress.org as the catalyst for real reform.

CommonSenseForCongress.org will use real and easily understood issues to reform congress. We will contact, or can be contacted by, any candidate for Congress to take the Common Sense pledge. We will track and publish on CommonSenseForCongress.org every candidate that will be running for a House or Senate seat and let the American voter know who took the pledge and who did not.

CommonSenseForCongress.org will promote and build awareness about this grassroots effort but will not campaign for any individual candidate. We will use most forms of new media and some forms of old media to get voters involved early in the process and get out the vote in the primary elections. The ultimate goal would be having every candidate, from all parties take the pledge.
