Tea Party Thoughts

This article from the New York Times that was printed yesterday can maybe help for brainstorming ideas for friday:
The part that strikes me as the most ridiculous is this:
"A $500 reward in Minnesota
In Minnesota, organizers from the Tea Party and related groups announced this week that they were offering a $500 reward for anyone who turned in someone who was successfully prosecuted for voter fraud. The group -- the Minnesota Majority and North Star Tea Party Patriot -- has launched a $50,000 radio and billboard campaign and is organizing volunteer "surveillance squads" to photograph and videotape what it suspects are irregularities, and in some cases to follow buses that take voters to the polls."
Why people need to challenge voter registration and suspect people who probably aren't guilty does not make sense to me.  It is surprising that the police authority are letting this happen -- a reward for a "criminal" when they have no real authority over public crime.
