Where's my tea? Where's my tea baggie? Who has it?I will sniff out the situation. Take notice. I will search relentlessly. For mine.
Now, how's this for a banner?
It says it's for (and by) "grassroots" tea baggers, but it's astroturf to me.

Here.
Here.
Here.
And that's in the same order as the Google response listing, "Results 1 - 10 of about 132,000 for tea bag minnesota. (0.19 seconds)".
In two-tenths of a second, look what I got. Wow. The web is spun, and the web is fun.
These bag jobs are not just a few GOP jocks doing a site because it's their passion. It's professional.
And that very first Google hit proves some things like tea bags in Minnesota can get really stale._______UPDATE_______
It does not take undue perception nor nuanced understanding to sense what's bottom up, like grassroots feelings rising to a head; and what's top-down, as in choreographed display of who you, along with US, can be; here, here and the national operational headquarters home page - here - and that slogan used in Minnesota, (what, the operational hindquarters), where did the slogan come from?
How about, "Tomorrow Belongs to Us," for a slogan? Get folks standing, singing, along with, perhaps, these ...

________FURTHER UPDATE________
HERE. A real "grassroots feel" to that, eh? Do you suppose they have little red books, to go with their little red teeshirts; to make a complete, happy, and fully equipped Cultural Revolution?
