Many of you may be wondering what is next after the wildly successfull taxpayer tea party protest this weekend in dozens of cities across the country. The short answer is that we must do the following things to ensure that this great event becomes a movement with momentum to build something powerful enough to make a difference in the policy battles in Washington. As you plan the national Tax Day Tea Party with us, please keep in mind the following points.

1. We have to keep the pressure on. This means that every time a politician comes home from DC we go to his townhall meetings and grill him on his votes. We ask the tough questions and get video of his answers for YouTube. We hold his feet to the fire.

2. We have to organize and maintain groups of people that meet frequently in person, and talk frequently online to keep the information flowing back and forth. These groups should be based in every county in the country, and each group should network with each other in each state so that the states are on the same page when it comes to planning events and holding Senators accountable.

3. We have to maintain the communication between the national limited government groups and the grassroots activists that make up our memberships. And we have to maintain the communication between the different national groups so that we are all on the same page, moving in the same direction.

4. We have to reach out to every community in America and bring the non-activists to the meetings, email discussions and yes, the streets. This can't just be a movement of conservatives, or libertarians. It's got to be a movement of all Americans that care about fiscal responsiblity, and are tired of politicians in both parties who are voting to bankrupt our country.

If we focus our energies on staying active, building coalitions in every county, networking the coalitions together, networking the coalitions with the national organizers and reaching out to people that are not yet active, this spontaneous protest will become a massive movement. If everyone takes care of their community, and their county, and works with others in their state, we can build something those on the other side have never seen before.

For those new organizers out there, here are a few books that you should read if you are planning to become more active in political activities like protests, meetings, rallies, lobbying and the like. All of these books offer ideas and examples that should get you thinking differently about community organizing, which should be a main goal of this taxpayer tea party movement.
