While making the drive back from truck driving school, sixty miles across the prairie, listening to El Rushbo makes the miles go by faster.
Today I heard a caller who identified herself as a 68-year-old white lady, who may have coined the slogan for the Tea Party revolution.
She said, “I’m not a racist. I’m not violent. I’m just no longer silent.”
I immediately started imagining signs, buttons, and bumper stickers.
Not racist.
Not violent.
Just no longer silent.
It scans and rhymes. Say it to yourself a few times and you’ll find it catchy.
It could start with TEA PARTY at the header – or it could have a simple logo. I suggest a teapot tilted about 45 degrees from horizontal and pouring to the right.
Sorry I didn’t catch your name lady, I’d like to give you credit for the idea.

Just one thought, Stephen:
While this slogan is good, it is also defensive. The Tea Party’s opponents have accused them of being racist/angry/etc…
They are not. Is it a good idea to let them set the agenda for messages?
