TEA Party wants FAIRNESS. Thinking back to the reasons many heralded the TEA PArty in the first place- the huge Bailouts of the largest banks in the world… the destruction of Contract Law when our new president stole Govenment Motors (GM) and gave it to his campaign supporters (Auto Unions)… the collapse of the bloated housing market due to Congresssional meddling in the free market system… the crony capitalism that allows the friends of polititians to get special treatment that hurts the folks on main street.
It was upsetting that this was not the America that many of us believe in… because it was not FAIR.
The TEA Party wants a fair Constitutional based government that limits the power of the federal government and their UNFAIR practices. if we add ”that support the wealthiest most fortunate people in America at the expense of the middle class” then we sound like the State of the Union address.
We need to claim our TEA heritage and claim FAIRNESS… these are our words – use them.
Contract law is not destroyed. Regular folks like us are bound by it – some people can get around it – which is not FAIR.
No!, No!, No! This is another example of mistaking what the reasons were that caused the Tea Party movement was founded. Everyone, lets get this relayed to you all from the founders of the TP movement itself. The two reasons why the TP movement was founded were. 1. Governments failure to address and stop its out of control spending; and 2. The Republican Partys constant moving towards the left and towards socialism.
That is from the founders of the movement. So lets try to get this more well known.
You should also add that it had it’s first faltering beginnings in the GW Bush Administration
Neb TPP and Mc – yes that is the BIG Picture… the reason we could identify the government’s movement Progressively to the far left … was because of a combination of actions at the end of 2008 under GW Bush and the beginning of 2009 under Obama… which compounded the erosion of the Constitution by the Judicial Branch… and
BTW – I consider myself to be one of the Founders of this movement… aren’t YOU?
No, I do not consider myself one of the founders, because so many are corrupting the true history of the original creation of the TP movement. Only those who were on the original conference calls can validate the true beginning. It was Rick Santelli’s rant that moved them beyond the conference calls and set up coordinated rallies on a selected day. We are all TP leaders and that is what is also protecting the movement. These claims that Ron Paul is the father of the TP movement outrages me, because he and his supporters have done a disservice to the legitimate movement by muddying up the facts. One of many reasons why I do not trust Ron Paul…at all.
It is important to the movement since we have a 40 year plan to know the true beginnings, that we can tell our fellow TP members the truth. Defend the truth and the facts. If Ron Paul suddenly melts down on TV, it will have a negative affect, and the truth of the beginnings of the TP movement protects us. Logic reigns.
Very well said Lynda. You scored.
