Here’s the link on this. It could have very well been garbled communication or it could be enough of a stink was raised.
Either way, individual persons still should not attend this convention. Tea Partiers should organize themselves locally, or state wide like they did in Massachusetts. There SHOULD NOT be a national organization at all. That will only make it vulnerable to co-opting.

America, founded on individual freedom, had local government no more than one day’s horseback ride from the governed. 19th century Democrats ran on individual and state’s sovereignty. Laws on behavior moved to the Federal government away from local and state government. The tradition of local control was never lost, from the town hall meetings to Vigilante movements were citizens concerned with the way they were governed and took action to right the wrongs. The Tea Party Movement is an example of citizen participation against governing elite far from people. However, 20th century Democrats declared Tea Parties vigilante mobs. America’s founding traditions are cited in The Changing Face of Democrats, Our Lost Libertarian Roots, on claysamerica.com.
