A proven method of growing grassroots chapters is to have get togethers at prospects' homes. Ask them to host a tea party where their responsibility will be to provide light snacks, coffee, and tea (wouldn't be a tea party without tea).

This is a non-threatening and informal way to get to know like minded people and plant some seeds that will hopefully result in some joining the party with a commitment to get involved and to set up more tea parties with new hosts.

One or two members would give a presentation and a challenge. The presentation should include:

History of the Constitution Party

Why a third party is needed

Where America is at and why (the failure of the two party system)

Why voting for twittle dee or twittle dumb is throwing your vote away and how we have been duped through fear into staying the wrong course

The time to get involved is now

The challenge should include:

Join the party and commit to no longer throwing your vote away

Be a host or presenter of another tea party

Get informed

Become a chapter leader

Consider running for office

Let's play the numbers game. You start with one party in your home. You set up the time and day. Your goal is for 10 to attend so you invite 20 to 30. Call them and in your own words say, "Hey Bill, I need your help. Saturday afternoon at 2pm at my house, I am having a tea party. We're having some friends over to discuss our disappointment in the Republican and Democrat Parties and what we can do about it. I will have a special guest who will be sharing with us how we can stop our downward slide in this country on issues like the Immagration Bill and North American Union. I gave him a number of how many would be in attendance and I need two more. Can I count on you to be there?" Then call to follow up with their commitment the night before.

Let's say 10 show up as planned (perfect world illustration). The party goes well and at the conclusion you pick up 10 new members for the party and 3 volunteer to host tea parties in their homes for the following week. You also schedule a monthly meeting with these 10 in your home or one of the 10's home to discuss issues and how they can get involved in the Constitution Party.
