Philadelphia Crashing the City's Tea Party!

I have just been made aware of a problem with the tea party scheduled in Love Park in Philadelphia and we need your help to get this resolved. Diana Reimer, the organizer for Philadelphia, was notified today after requesting electricity for a PA / sound system, that this event is no longer a demonstration, but a special event and will be required to pay a total of approx. $8000.00 for various requirements and an application permit of $20.00. The rest of the money required is for an electrician, use of the location, trash collector, insurance, etc. She has already been issued a permit by the city of Philadelphia, but now she is required to pay $8000.00 for the electricity and other requirements dictated by Special Events level 2, which is based on the amount of people 1500 to 3000 by Fairmount Park Commission.

Obviously, since we are a week away from this event, this causes a major problem. Additionally, why should the people have to pay $8000.00 to hold the event in this park when the people of Philadelphia already pay for the park and the park's electricity with their tax dollars?

We are asking for your help and support by contacting the city of Philadelphia, just as you did with Coral Gables and Burleson.

City of Philadelphia Office of Managing Director 215.686.3488
Jazell Jones, Managing Director
Mechelle, Administrative Assistant

Special Events Office 215.685.0060
Karen Walls, Receptionist
or Joe Calley

If you would like to contact Diana Reimer, the Philadelphia Tea Party organizer, she can be reached via email at philataxdayteaparty@gmail.com.

Diana and Philadelphia really need our help! Please burn up the phone lines tomorrow! Also, please send this to all of your email lists / groups and to everyone you know!

We cannot let this happen in the birth city of the US Constitution!!!!

  3. Get a couple of car batteries and a "power inverter" (try Harbor Freight Tools) with enough Watts to power the PA system. This way you make your own power and don't rely on the government for help. A 500-1000 Watt inverter can be had for less than 100 bucks. Put it all in a kids wagon and you're in business.

  5. You are going to protest higher taxes, yet you want the taxpayers of Philly to pay for additional use of electricity and clean up. Why should the taxpayers of Philly pay for your electricity ????

    Hypocrites !

  6. I just tried to call Mr. Calley at the Special Events Office. He was extremely nasty and sarcastic: he refused to let me speak and kept repeating "YOU'RE WRONG! YOU'RE WRONG!" like a deranged parrot. His phone # is: 215-685-0600 in case anyone else would like to try to get through to this person

  7. Oh anonymous. You're so brave, aren't ya. Go away, you bother me kid!

    I'm organizing one out here in California, and you wouldn't believe the hoops they're making us go through for a FREE SPEECH protest. I wonder, how much did Cindy Sheehan have to pay? How about Code Pinko's? NOT ONE THIN DIME.

    I'm showing up anyway. I have the okay from the police, and that's good enough for me. Free speech is not breaking the law, no matter what else you do. This is really showing what we are fighting against. Do not dispair. We shall triumph, because we are right. :)

  11. Dear Anonymous,

    With all due respect They happen to be our parks also. If I remember they called us freaks back in the 60's and 70's remember If we need a sound sytem I can provide a generator and sound system and we can bring our own trash bags to pick up our ouw trash. Since when do you need a permit for a peaceful demonstration. I doubt that The Rev Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson Bill Ayres And the likes as Anti War and Anti Abortion groups go right out and get their permits. Right They would not even ask nor care if they needed permits. If we stop this tea party because of this rediculous balony We should just surrender now to the nice folks in our government who do not represent us or pay their own taxes. They are above the law and we need a permit. Why would we even consider getting a permit. Lets use some common sense People. "We The People" Diana Reimer email me at tmotors24@comcast.net
    I am ready to help. No permit needed. We would Make Really Big Head Lines If We All Got Arrested For The Tea Party. I Am Ready Are You.
