    Our survey results show that Americans are ready for REAL CHANGE this election cycle. Overwhelmingly, patriots across the nation wish to see an end to the ever-growing federal government and national debt that has occurred under President Obama’s administration.

    That is why this year’s elections are the most important in history!!! We need your help to make these opinions count!!!

    Below are the results for each of the survey questions you answered. Percentages of responses for each answer are given:

    Please do not underestimate the importance of this survey. Tea Party Patriots is the nation’s largest Tea Party group. Our grassroots programs will make a real difference in November.

    Since the survey was a Tea Party initive and the respondents were largely Tea Party members the results favor the Tea Party’s stance.
