Going to check out BOOK of ELI based on your rec!
Jimmy, this is Tim McClellan the person you spoke to via email about the Tea Party suit. You could not be more wrong in your analysis and your OPINION of the reason and value of the lawsuit. Here are four reason to give you something to think about.
1) There are three men who started this Political Tea party in Florida. They are simply opportunists and have never been involved with the Tea Party. They have a reputation for doing this sort of thing, such as positioning themselves so someone will have to pay out money for them to go away. In addition they have a host of allegations of selling out to the highest bidder or for endorsements, etc. Let's just say these are not the kind of guys you would want to have over for dinner.
2) It has National implications, under Federal Law nobody can use the name Tea Party without written permission of the Political Tea Party. Since they have threatened Tea Party Groups in multiple States with lawsuits for using the name I doubt they will give any one or a group the right to use the name. They even threatened the National Tea Party Convention. As I mentioned this could happen to any of the Conservative Groups.
3) Another problem is two of the three are supporting Florida Senator Paula Dockery's campaign and from the press release with them as contact some would surmise they work for her campaign. The interesting part is, is she running as a Republican against Bill McCollum for the Governor's seat, or since She is working with two people from the political Tea Party is she running as a Tea Party candidate?
4) If she is running as a Republican, then there is a clear conflict of interest. If she is running as a Republican and loses, will she then run as a Tea Party candidate and be right back in the race after the people have already decided they do not want her?

Tim, I appreciate the analysis - and while I see that this lawsuit is probably necessary, it is still so wasteful, I think, for this conservative movement to have to spend this kind of money and time on this kind of thing - with 9+ months until the midterm elections.
I won't argue with you in terms of having to protect the ability of the 'tea partiers' to be able to have a tea party gathering, but how do we prevent this from happening in the first place? It doesn't sound like we can prevent hucksters and profiteers from doing this again in FL and elsewhere.
So then what? Is the movement doomed because we have to spend all kinds of money and valuable time defending the 'name?' Or can we do the conservative job without a name? Can we move to have the words 'tea party' deemed public domain because of the historical nature of the term in this country?
In my opinion, job one is wining these midterm elections. I am looking forward to our discussion tomorrow. There is much to talk about.
