Placing extra drinks at your table to either "hold" your place while you get up to go somewhere, or to discourage people in an overcrowded bar from sitting down or placing their drinks on your table. Kind of like puting your coat on the seat next to you at the movies.
Joe arrived at the club, grabbed the last table in the place, and set up a tea party to wait for the others to arrive.

To call, educate, inspire, and motivate to action all Americans and our elected representatives to restore out of control governments — at all levels — to governments that are operated according to the precepts and principles of our Founders and the limits imposed by our Founding Documents.
Tea party members would be against borrowing from future generations, monetizing debt (printing money to pay own bills), legally require insurance purchase to be a citizen.

What the Tea Party movement is. It is a growing number of ordinary people who instinctively know that something is very wrong. It is a growing number of people who have had enough! It is a growing number of people who are finding their voice as well as finding the courage to use that voice to say "We have had enough!" The Tea Party movement is made up of ordinary people from all walks of life, Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike who are willing to stand up and take all the smears and the lies that the people who fear them the most will throw at them. It is all about accountability and responsibility.
It is not a corporation. It is not lead by or funded by any corporation. You cannot point to anyone and say "There is the Leader of The Tea Party"
Like I said it is ordinary people who have had enough of out of control government spending. It is people who have had enough of an ever expanding intrusive government. The Tea party is not anti-government. It is pro-Constitution and limiting the power of government. It is all about family and friends helping each other. We do not need big Government to take of us.
Very simply the Tea Party is a State of Mind

The Tea Party movement is a grassroots movement of millions of like-minded Americans from all backgrounds and political parties. Tea Party members share similar core principles supporting the United States Constitution as the Founders intended, such as:
• Limited federal government
• Individual freedoms
• Personal responsibility
• Free markets
• Returning political power to the states and the people
• Limited federal government
• Individual freedoms
• Personal responsibility
• Free markets
• Returning political power to the states and the people
As a movement, The Tea Party is not a political party nor is looking to form a third political party any time soon. The Tea Party movement, is instead, about reforming all political parties and government so that the core principles of our Founding Fathers become, once again, the foundation upon which America stands.
