The health care debate has been something of a prize bonanza for members of Congress facing the ire of the Tea Party Patriots. First, tea partiers sent members thousands of tea bags. Since then, there’s been salt and pink slips. And today comes the rubber chickens.

According to a Tea Party Patriot email sent early this morning, tea partiers will gather on Capitol Hill at 11:30 this morning to deliver rubber chickens to each Senator that voted to allow debate on the health care bill on Nov. 21.

The TPP national leadership’s explanation for the latest special delivery, from the email:

Message to Senators: The chickens will come home to roost in 2010, and Americans are paying close attention to the health care legislation vote.
