Beats the hell out of weak tea or Kool-Aid...

From the Phoenix New Times, Tea Party, Meet the Tequila Party; Latinos Launching Vote Drive Organization:

DeeDee Blase, Arizona's Republican immigration activist, has a message for the Tea Party:

"Move aside, the Tequila Party is here," she said at an afternoon press conference.

The Tequila Party is a non-partisan voter-registration outfit designed to increase Latino political participation across the country.

Blase announced at today's event that the group plans on hosting concerts and parties all across the country, from Los Angeles to Miami, to register voters. It's working in conjunction with Voto Latino, a traditional registration organization.

Blase said there are 20 million eligible Latino voters in the United States, and she wants to get each of them.

Blase's group is looking to change that with live events and musica, and hopes to attract Tea Party-style crowds to future events.

"The Tea Party didn't start as a large movement," she stated.

But the Tea Party didn't have Tequila.

And the Tea Party didn't already have a Sammy Hagar anthem song -- Más Tequila!

It sounds like a much classier party, even including the tequila!

We do need to find a way to generate more than 35% voter turnout and turn voter apathy around. I have tried for years to raise awareness and encourage actual participation in elections to very little avail here.

Hey, maybe tequila is the answer! Free tequila after voting for all! :toast:
