* Dem Leaders Circulating Memo Advising On “Tea Party Etiquette”:

With the Tea Partiers set to descend on the Capitol tomorrow, the Dem leadership is distributing a memo advising the offices of House Dems on “Tea Party Etiquette,” giving them talking points for explaining the bill and advising them to prepare to spend a great deal of time explaining that the “death panels” are a fiction.

The memo, which is being circulated by Chris Van Hollen’s staff and can be read right here, is only partly tongue in cheek. “Consider having some light snacks, H2O, and coffee available,” the memo says. “Ask visitors to leave all signs and banners outside the office.”

The memo instructs Dems to be patient in the face of a tidal wave of misinformation.

“Many of the conservative activists are not opposing the actual provisions in the bill, but are instead reacting to a caricature of the reform bill presented by right-wing media outlets,” the memo reads. “Be prepared to explain that there are no death panels, that Medicare is in fact strengthened, and that reform is not a government take-over.”

The memo urges Dem staffers to stress to irate Tea Partiers the range of reforms that will take effect “immediately.”
