Robert and Mary Meyer were headed to Digger O’Dell’s restaurant in downtown Riverhead last March when Mr. Meyer felt a rush of anxiety. He had planned the gathering, but the self-described “large utility company” employee was no public speaker.
“Do you think people will expect me to say something?” his wife, a teacher, recalled him asking as they headed south from their Baiting Hollow home. In a lighthearted attempt to comfort her husband, Ms. Meyer assured him they would likely be dining alone that night.

Since the York 912 Patriots began meeting in person last year, the political group has had trouble satisfying demand.Attendance at monthly meetings topped out at about 40 people at first, when the network of Yorkers decided to expand beyond their meetup.com group and get together face-to-face.
But at their meeting last month at The Hop in Manchester Township, a standing-room-only crowd of more than 175 people showed up.

3/2: Texas Tea Partiers Want Return to Values
An estimated 2,000 people gather at Dallas, Texas city hall to call for a return to the nation’s founding principles:
With dozens of “Don’t Tread on Me” flags lifting in the breeze and a bristle of signs objecting to most of what comes out of Washington, it was clear the Tea Party crowd gathered outside Dallas City Hall on Saturday was spoiling for an election day fight.
And then the immortal words of Twisted Sister added a pulsing exclamation point: “We’re not gonna take it. No, we ain’t gonna take it.”
3/2: Tea Partiers: Principles Before Politics
Four Arizona Tea Party groups indicate they will uphold principles and values before endorsing candidates:
The leaders of Arizona’s four largest tea parties announced Monday they’re not endorsing in the state’s Senate race, a blow to the movement’s supposed darling, former Republican Rep. J.D. Hayworth.
The joint statement from the Tucson Tea Party, the Greater Phoenix Tea Party, the Flagstaff Tea Party and the Mohave County Tea Party declared that any endorsement would not be “appropriate.”
3/2: New Tea Party Groups in Florida
Florida’s Tea Party Patriots is one of many new groups encouraging education about the Constitution, political process and government:
Organizers of the Tea Party in Beaufort County say they are relying on residents — not politicians — to recruit members and help educate the public about their constitutional rights.
After a lull in activity last fall, new Tea Parties groups are springing up in the county, and old ones are holding classes about the U.S. Constitution. They are initiating mail and telephone campaigns and trying to reach residents through civic and religious organizations.
In the past two weeks, Bluffton formed a new Tea Party Patriots group, a move organizers say came after they were inspired by the Tea Party Express Nationwide Tour in November.
