Apps for all: Tea party gets high-tech

It’s official: This is definitely not your forefathers’ tea party.

Tea Party organizers now have a tool to get organized — a new iPhone app. The application finds nearby groups and events registered with Tea Party Patriots, which is affiliated with former Rep. Dick Armey‘s group FreedomWorks, based upon the phone’s GPS.

“Tea Party Finder” also allows users to contact event organizers directly from the app. How handy.
