From the Birmingham News
Obama's plan faces criticism from Republicans and others who say it's too expensive. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report Friday saying Obama's agenda would cause huge budget deficits, forcing the country to borrow $9.3 trillion in the next decade.
Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama's vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.
"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army." (Emphasis Mine)
The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama's quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama's spending proposal. READ THE REST

This post doesn't make a lot of sense, it leaves me confused. Because begin your post with GOP, and tea party, it seems you are talking about a tea party gathering in Birmingham. You don't say specifically who gathered and what they were doing at the park...
Halfway down your post I can surmise that you are talking about a volunteer group that supported Obama. If you are quoting from an article, give it credit and a link so I know where it comes from.
By highlighting a phrase taken out of context, you are trying to make castles in the air, creating fiction out of fact. Very strange.
It was a bit sloppy, let me fix it. The #teaparty is a tag.
OK I fixed. #hhrs #gop are Twitter tags, they send the post to thousands of people on those lists. Sorry for the confusion but until I can hide them in the text and still get the benefit of the tag, they will be there.
