Several Ways You Can Help Cody Tea Party

Since this is a grass roots campaign, I do not want to get into making it a big organized production. There are a few things though we can do to make the protest bigger and better. Here is a list of some things you can do to help us out.

  • 2-3 press releases - assigned
  • Logo, someone suggested something with "Don't Tread on Me" flag
    - open
  • Set up a Cafe Press store
  • Letters to the editor - open to whomever wants to write one
  • Flyers, nothing too fancy, just something to help spread the word - open

Finally, the best thing you can do is tell two more people about the protest and see if they will come.
