Involvement in "Tea Party" Protests
When Seattle blogger and conservative activist Keli Carender organized the first Tea Party protest rally in February 2009, Carender contacted Beren, who promoted the event on his blog four days before the protest and spoke at the rally.
On August 12, 2009, when McDermott was scheduled to speak on healthcare to a Democratic Party meeting in Seattle, Beren initiated a call for a Tea Party protest outside the meeting. Beren had addressed an open letter to President Barack Obama that concludes: "Your socialized medicine plan would restrict our liberty, increase government control over our lives...and contradict some already existing rights."
Speaking at a Seattle rally which was part of the April 15, 2009 Tea Party protests, Beren criticized politicians of both parties, including Arlen Specter, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.
