The conservative Tea Party Patriots group is organizing its network of activists to mobilize this week in support of Judge Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court nomination.

Tea Party Patriots President Jenny Beth Martin emailed activists with plans that include emails, tweets, phone calls, holding rallies and visiting the offices of elected officials, among other actions.

Monday, for example, is "Messaging Monday," in which activists are encouraged to email paragraphs in support of Gorsuch's nomination to entities identified by Tea Party Patriots. Wednesday is "Melt the Wires Wednesday" when activists are encouraged to make calls to targeted elected officials. Thursday is "Take it to the Streets Thursday," when activists are encouraged to wave signs at a "busy intersection," host a house party or visit a local congressional office, among other places.

When Congress is in recess the following week, Tea Party Patriots wants its organizers to make local office visits on Feb. 23.

"Both the Senate and House of Representatives are scheduled to be home the week of February 20th, and not in D.C. We need to show up and show our elected officials that the majority of their constituents do not agree with the left wing protesters," Martin wrote. "We are looking for people to either host an event outside their senator's local office at noon local time or to hand deliver a personal letter to their senator on Thursday, February 23. We will help you to organize your event, write your letters, and assist you with messaging."

The events planned by Tea Party Patriots are focused around supporting Gorsuch's nomination and advocating the repeal of Obamacare. On Feb. 27, Tea Party Patriots wants its organizers to host house parties in support of Gorsuch.

"Want to support Judge Gorsuch? We make it super easy for you to share your support and knowledge with friends and family in an amicable, comfortable way with the tools and resources you will need to get it done," Martin wrote. "After Obama won the 2012 election, analysis showed that face-to-face education and discussion between people who knew each other played a very big role in his victory. Your story and your opinion is important to many of the people in your life, and you'll never how many people you can persuade if you don't try!"

The Tea Party Patriots' plans are part of its efforts to hold 1,000 house parties across the country in the first 100 days after Gorsuch's nomination. The group is coordinating with a large coalition of conservative groups that include the Judicial Crisis Network and America Rising Squared to boost Gorsuch's Supreme Court bid.
