Muskogee Tea Party

We are holding another meeting with our Muskogee Tea Party PAC on Saturday, starting at 10:00am at the Muskogee Public Library (801 W. Okmulgee; map), in the Southeast meeting room on the first floor.

We’ll be meeting to officially vote on bylaws for our new Political Action Committee (PAC), in addition to discussing future plans at this meeting (including a possible Tea Party event on September 17th). RSVP for the meeting here!

At our previous meeting, we decided to set dues at $50 per person beginning on January 1, 2011. The 2010 dues have been pro-rated to $25 per person. Becoming a dues-paying member will make you a voting member of our PAC, and give us the funds necessary to execute our goals. To become a voting member of the PAC, you have two options. 1) if you are coming on Saturday, bring your $25 check with you. 2) if you cannot make it on Saturday, but still want to join and help us with our financial goals, mail a $25 check to Muskogee Tea Party PAC, P.O. Box 123, Muskogee OK, 74402.

I will email out copies of the proposed bylaws tomorrow, and will have additional copies at the meeting. Hope to see you there! If you would like to join our email list, send an email to MuskogeeTeaParty@gmail.com.

With you for the future of our great nation,
