a "come in, we're open" sign on the front door, and decides to buy
one. After people mistake the sign as a business, Peter decides to go
into business for himself. The business, however, becomes short-lived
when Joe is forced to shut him down for having an unlicensed business.
After fighting City Hall and losing, Peter finds a sympathetic ear in
Quagmire when they see a news report about the Tea Party and decide to
join, much to the dismay of Brian, who informs him that the Tea Party
is really a tool of big business. Joe tags along with Peter and
Quagmire to a rally where Peter's father-in-law, Carter, is posing as
an everyday worker named "Joe Workingman". Following the rally, Peter
stops inside to use the restroom, where he finds Carter. Although he
manages to persuade Peter that the two are separate, Carter enlists
Peter to help get rid of the government. Despite the family's
resistance, Peter makes calls for Carter on behalf of the Tea Party
and successfully campaigns to have Mayor West shut down Quahog's
government. The citizens of Quahog celebrate their new freedom from
government, getting away with many things. From Quagmire marrying and
impregnating a giraffe and flatly telling that the giraffe's son is
not his, to Chris taking Mescaline and going to Las Vegas in the midst
of a hallucination (referencing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).
However, Brian makes the Griffins aware of Carter's pollution, and as
time goes on things get worse, up to the point where basic services
(such as electricity and plumbing) are completely inaccessible and the
citizens start rioting in the streets. After visiting Carter to help
him and getting turned down by him, Peter calls the town together. He
delivers a heartfelt speech about the government, although he manages
to present it as an "entirely new thing". After convincing the
citizens to successfully reform the government, Peter looks on the
Internet to see what people are saying about him, only to be
disappointed by the result."Tea Peter" was written by Patrick Meighan
